Tom Ford Eau de Grey Vetiver

Notes Pyramid
Scent Journey
The first 0-30 minutes opens with a bright citrus burst: Lemon Primofiore, Grapefruit, and Bergamot are lifted by a distinctive fennel note. The effect is fresh, green, and slightly aromatic rather than sugary.
At 1-2 hours, the heart shifts toward iris, artemisia, clary sage, and orange blossom. The composition becomes smoother and more herbal-floral, with the citrus still present but no longer dominant.
From 4+ hours, the base settles into vetiver, amber woods, oakmoss, and musk. The finish is earthy, woody, and clean, with a mossy vetiver character that stays close to the skin.
