Tom Ford Vert des Bois is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Olivier Gillotin and Michael Nordstrand. Vert des Bois settles into a heart of Mastic, Woody, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Patchouli and Tonka Bean. Tom Ford's Vert des Bois carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Vert des Bois is a divisive beast: some hail it as a unique masterpiece, an ethereal green dream; others find it a challenging, even medicinal, misstep. It's an acquired taste, but for those who get it, it's a bold confidence booster.

Given its strong opening and significant projection, Vert des Bois is probably a bit much for the office. It's excellent for dates or evening casual wear, as its unique character sparks conversation. While some find it suitable for formal settings, its quirky nature might not suit every occasion, and it's definitely not for sport.

About

Opens with an unexpected green complexity, a dark, woody forest scent interwoven with an intriguing blast of anise. As it settles, jasmine emerges to soften the edges, yet the dominant woody and balsamic notes remain, underpinned by earthy patchouli and a touch of sweet tonka bean in the dry down creating a rich, resinous depth.
