This is more of a masculine scent with a bitter green opening. I can hardly detect any florals in it because of the strong soapy smell. I rarely find a Tom Ford fragrance that does anything for me. They seem to be more unisex than anything feminine. I identify as a woman and want to smell sweet, clean and sexy. I just don’t seem to find anything he makes that grabs me. (Sorry, Tom.)
I think you will survive without my business.

Vert de Fleur opens with a superb blast of green, resinous galbanum surrounded by indistinct florals, before settling into a facsimile of the dry down of Chanel No. 19 EDP. Classic, well-crafted, and entirely inessential, given that Chanel’s much earlier creation is still very much in fine form.

This is by far the best fragrance to wear on a rainy summer day. There is something about it that is clean, soapy, refreshing, and earthy, and aromatic. One day, I was simply bored with the citrus balmy Sole di Positano and decided to venture further into Tom Ford’s private blend. Though I am typically a bit of a snob and generally don’t look into Tom Ford as a fragrance house, I still wanted green and fresh and I just wasn’t satisfied with Jacques Fath’s Vers Le Sud or Ulrich Lang’s Absu. I wanted a fragrance that would compliment cool, rainy weather that would tingle the nose, and rejuvinate the air. I envisioned a fragrance that one is captivated on a wet day outside The Met when you meet an old friend from a distance as they approach you and embrace you for that minute and those notes of galbunum, hyacinth, and cold wet grass. But not your typical grass. This grass has a vegetable quality. The top notes in the beginning remind me of the moment you pull grass from the soil. The transparency from soil to grass blade. That damp, dewy scent. This fragrance perfectly captures that. I don’t really sense the vetiver in here. I honestly prefer my vetivers to be dirty and untamed. This is the dichotomy of that. Yet there is still a soil quality to it that’s still elegant. I am a big fan of this for a summer fragrance….I highly recommend anyone to give this a try on a cold rainy day in May or June. I feel the chilled temperature keeps the fragrance around longer. Any arid, hot day would probably dissipate the fragrance.

It is a refined version of CHANEL no°19 Eau de parfum.

Green and earthy, indeed. I have never smelled anything like that in a perfume. It makes me think of broken twigs and rain falling on dry soil. How can that work in a perfume!? But it does. And then it dries down in a gorgeous bed of yellow florals. This is a keeper!

I was looking for a nice floral fragrance that I could feel comfortable wearing.
The creamy smooth woody Galbanum makes this fairly gender-neutral. So I got a good deal and purchased a 50 ml.
I think it will be warming in the Fall and Winter.
I found a fragrance that is 90% same as this, and it adds a bit of freshness. It is Atelier Cologne Jasmine Angelique.
It’s jasmine and the same Galbanum note as found here, quality and performance about the same, and good discounts on eBay.
I did a side by side comparison with Jasmine Angelique.
Vert de Fleur has a bright, rich woody opening, with the florals. I’m thinking they may have used some aldehyes, I can’t think of where else the brightness is comming from. This is 10% richer and more refined, but from the mid-drydown they become very close, jasmine and Galbanum vs Hyasinth and Galbanum.
Jasmine Angelique is closer to gender-neutral. These are the two most floral fragrances I have in a large collection.

I love all the parts of this…I guess I like my green florals waxy, not crisp. To me the thick (but not sweet) hyacinth hearkens back to Chamade—I should dig out a sample to compare them. Maybe I just love galbanum? One of my absolute favorite scents is Le Temps d’une Fete, so this is clearly in my wheelhouse.
To my nose I don’t pick up the vetiver, which usually ends up as a screechy incense-like dry-down on my skin… It’s not masculine to me, but I wouldn’t be unhappy to smell it on anyone. It leaves a beautiful echo on clothes.
Now I want to explore more of the ruinous Tom Ford Private Blends…

Opens with hyacinth soliflor! Very realistic. Also noticeable iris.
The initial solo hyacinth note is quickly joined by a less remarkable (though still perfectly pleasant) background of galbanum (green, earthy), very faint iris, and quiet white florals.
The hyacinth note remains nonetheless in the foreground, coming in waves of varying degrees of precision and intensity.
Sometimes it is an imprecise hyacinth-y blue floral, sometimes it is clearly hyacinth.
Definitely a “like”.

Oh my! This really is something special.
Vert de Fleur hits the skin in a big bitter green cloud of hyacinth and galbanum, then, almost immediately, the bitterness begins to fade when neroli and fresh-torn basil reveal themselves in the composition. An hour in and still very green, velvety iris and jasmine, very subtle rose too, float up in an enchanting cloud of floral headiness. Later in the base, soft smoky vetiver emerges to blend dark oak moss and patchouli in harmonious earthy-green symphony.
Floral but never feminine, Vert De Fleur really does smell green with a soupçon of beautiful woodiness. Lavish and sophisticated, perfectly unisex from start to finish.
Longevity is moderate-long lasting, sillage is heavy at open, becoming moderate.

Vert de Fleur bares strong similiarity with previously discontinued Ombre de Hyacinth but as if they perfected the latter. To me Vert de Fleur is more complex and glamorous, with the addition of iris to its composition. I also get some woody notes in its base development where they make it perfectly unisex. Try Vert de Fleur on your skin and see where it takes you. To me its fantastic addition to the Private Blend collection and i`ll be gladly using it in upcoming spring and colder summer nights.

A couple of months after the first (3) release, now they finally have it in 2017… After all the anticipation this turned out not that special; it starts very green then hyacinth comes out and pretty much dominates. It reminds me of Gucci Envy mixed with The Revenge of Lady Blanche (Penhaligon’s); on the skin it’s a lot spicier/sharper.

purchased this today from David Jones Sydney store and they have a plentiful supply.
Opens very green,almost like a soapy green TF Azure Lime.
It must be the bitter green galbanum and perhaps hyacinth,as previously advised, that I initially smell.
Either way it shares a Ombre de Hyacinth vibe,bitter,green and floral.
The floral notes are indeed indescript but definitely there.
Once it settles down the vetiver base really comes to the fore.It does have that barbershop aura but I really like it.
The base,for me,is almost like Creed Original Vetiver.
Lovely and perfect for a warm spring or summer day.
Highly recommended.

Not on sale in Australia yet, but some stores have samples out. Initially it smells very green. After it has dried down I get a big, nondescript floral smell, that I quite liked. I thought to myself – yes, I need to purchase this! However after about half an hour a harsh, piney, almost spicy note dominated that reminded me of old, cheap after shaves from the 80’s. Not really sure where this note comes from as the fragrance notes are limited. Perhaps if I did not make that connection to cheap after shave, I may have loved this.

confirmed that this will be available in Australia with the Vert releases prior to Christmas

@ Calvini
this may be available here on Oz around early December to coincide with the release of the Vert quartet here.

I don’t know why but Tom Ford has plucked this out of the 4 to be a Harrods’ exclusive, so us Americans may or may not ever get to try it… On their website it mentions hyacinth and iris as part of the floral accord. Sounds beautiful.. I’m jealous
