It's so green when Tom's hyacinths bloom
A great bohemian is usually made around the scents of Tom Ford. There is general excitement when a new fragrance is announced, the money is generally quite loose and many fragrances enjoy great popularity.
I've looked, the average rating of all Tom Ford fragrances listed here is 7.9, which is really a very decent value. Until a few years ago, Parfumo's scores for the fragrances were given here in percent. I thought that was very good, too
About Tom Ford himself, I'm sure I don't need to say anything more. Also it doesn't have to be mentioned that he is not standing at the lab table himself and is busy handling the test tubes Not all fragrances enjoy a wide recognition. Some also polarize quite a bit.
Vert de Fleur is one of the less common fragrances. But it is one of the fragrances that I really like, and so much so that I had to have it.
Those who know me a little better know by now that I am very fond of scents with floral notes. I also like green notes in fragrances very much and when chyprenotes appear somewhere, I'm usually excited anyway Vert de Fleur is one of them
Created in 2016 by the French perfumer Yann Vasnier, who works for the Swiss flavour and fragrance manufacturer Givaudan and has created a lot for Comme des Garçons, Jo Malone, Divine and Tom Ford, among others. Currently, 26 people own him, 10 of them female and 16 male, and they have a taste of him.
Here, classic ingredients have been mixed together in a modern way, with some differences to the "great old chypre fragrances".
The start is already very flowery and green, a big sloshing galbanum brings this rich crunchy green note that lingers throughout the fragrance. Galbanum can often seem a bit bulky, but I have grown very fond of this note over time.
A clear hyacinth is very quickly noticeable and this remains present throughout the entire fragrance process. I have found that I like hyacinth in fragrances very much, in Cristalle EdP it is also very noticeable.
As an indoor plant I do not like hyacinth, it gives me headaches with its penetrating smell. But in fragrances with different accompanying notes it is a nice note. And hyacinth is rather unsweet by nature, which is also very dear to me. And it always brings a certain pungency with it, which also clearly runs through this fragrance.
The hyacinth still has some floral companions, but none of them really comes to the fore, but in their interplay they show a certain fleshiness that feigns a touch of animalism. A real animalistic component, as it is often found in classic chypre scents, is missing here though.
Towards the base it becomes additionally a little darker and earthier. I still notice that the fragrance has an overall rather cool aura. With the undefined green notes and the moss, the fragrance has a certain underlying "tumultuousness". Such notes sometimes bother me, because they sometimes remind me of oily musty flower water. Here it fits perfectly and it makes sure that the fragrance doesn't slip into the flowery, musty water. Counterpoints are important in fragrances, otherwise they quickly become boring. And I do not find this fragrance boring at all. The fragrance also radiates a large portion of self-confidence, which fits perfectly to the image of the brand Tom Ford.
Vert de Fleur has a good shelf life, 8-9 hours the fragrance is perceptible, it also radiates quite well for the first 2 hours before it then retires.
I see it in spring and in the not yet too warm summer, at temperatures above 25 degrees the scent might be too dense and in the cold season it might seem too cool.
The fact that a certain synthetics hovers over everything cannot be denied. But meanwhile so much synthetics is used, even in the high-priced segment, but if it is well installed, I get along with it well.
The fragrance is called unisex here. Anyway, I am of the opinion that flowery scents can work well on men. And the slightly higher percentage of male owners obviously confirms this.
But I still have to criticize a little bit. And that is the workmanship of the flacon. There you don't take certain details very seriously As valuable and appealing as the design appears at first glance, I cannot hide a few flaws. For example, the label is glued on a little bit crooked and the lid sits rather loose.
You have to be careful when you want to take the bottle out of the carton.
I find this a little annoying, because the exclusive series is not exactly one of the most affordable fragrance series. It's the content that counts, but you also buy the packaging and this is a little bit conclusive
Vert de Fleur came to me some time ago in a sample package from Kovex and caused such enthusiasm that I had to put him on my wish list quickly. Now the scent is quite hard to find and I had no choice but to look in a well-known online auction house. After some searching and some patience the scent came to me from Great Britain. And that even at a more than acceptable price.
I thank Kovex for making it possible for me to get to know him and I am very happy about this fragrance.

A small note: I have not been faked, the bottle and fragrance are real. I've noticed a few times already that sometimes you don't do your job right. My Mandarino di Amalfi Acqua (bought at Karstadt) has similar small flaws.
