This is Tom Ford's masterful rendition of the cool and intriguing possibilities of vetiver—the hallmark of a classic, sophisticated, unabashedly masculine man. The fragrance moves vetiver from the background to a signature placement that develops from top note to drydown. The scent revolves around ultra-pure essence of vetiver, obtained by a revolutionary extraction technique. The iconic vetiver note achieves its full potential within a construction of enhancing elements. On top, orange flower, grapefruit, and aromatic sage lend freshness. Warm woods wrap and balance the top layer as enlivening middle notes composed of orris, nutmeg, and pimiento impart a clean, grounded energy. A wash of golden amber woods leads into a fascinating, rich drydown. Oakmoss contributes a green and woodsy impression and completes the refined harmony that floats coolly onto the skin, simultaneously melting into the body's natural heat. The frosted bottle includes a silver-toned cap and neck ring, and a palladium plaque bearing the Tom Ford logo. The fluted carton's silver accents and borders hint at the character of the precious, pale juice within.
