Tom Ford Vert d'Encens is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Yann Vasnier, Antoine Maisondieu, and Shyamala Maisondieu. Vert d'Encens opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Lavender, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Fir, Woody Notes, Pine, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Resins and Frankincense. Tom Ford's Vert d'Encens carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

A truly unique green-amber scent that divides opinion but clearly captivates. It's either an addictive, mysterious forest floor dream or a cloying, messy confusion. Try before you buy, if you can even find it given its cult-favourite discontinued status.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage, combined with its distinct, somewhat 'gothic' woody-amber character, make it less suitable for office wear. However, its complex blend is highly appropriate for evening dates and formal events, though some find it versatile enough for sophisticated casual wear.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine wandering through a dense, resinous pine forest where the air is thick with the scent of crushed fir needles and sticky tree sap. This fragrance opens with an intense, bracing green blast, quickly softened by a sweet, powdery heliotrope that brings a surprising creamy floral, almost gourmand, edge. Incense subtly weaves through, adding a smokiness that deepens the woody, balsamic accords, leading to a plush, enduring base.
