Tom Ford Violet Blonde is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011. Violet Blonde opens with Mandarin, Violet Leaf, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Iris, and Orris, and dries down to a base of Suede, Musk, Cedar, and Vetiver. Tom Ford's Violet Blonde carries an Acquired verdict, a iris-led wear.

A divisive yet beloved scent, Violet Blonde is pure glamour-puss vibes. Some find it a bold, sexy masterpiece, while others are put off by a 'harsh' opening or a prominent 'old-fashioned' powdery violet. It's a snatched-wig moment of sophistication.

About

Violet Blonde opens with a sharp, almost green violet leaf and a hint of zesty mandarin, quickly joined by the spicy kick of pink pepper. The heart is dominated by a plush, powdery iris and orris, with a whisper of sweet jasmine. The drydown unveils a luxurious suede, softened by musks and benzoin, deepened by earthy vetiver and a touch of cedar. It's a smooth, rich floral powdery experience that leans into dark, sensual elegance.
