It has a very refreshing citrus opening, although a bit muted at first, but it builds in intensity, though never as much as the lemon in Guerlain’s Vetiver. If you don’t like that sharp lemon, this is a good option. The citrus here seem to be grapefruit or lime, without that orange sweetness. Then the spices appear with a soft touch of pepper. Finally, the vetiver manifests with soft woody notes. It’s one of the best vetivers I’ve tried, with spiced traits rather than green ones. It’s classic and distinguished, although I don’t find it better than Guerlain’s, which I’m more in love with due to its tobacco note. In terms of price-to-quality ratio, I estimate Guerlain is better, as this is more expensive and doesn’t surpass its performance. With a 100ml bottle, I achieved good longevity and moderate to heavy sillage, although this Tom Ford line usually has moderate longevity. If you find it for 120 or 140 dollars, buy it; it’s excellent. But if they charge you 280 dollars as they did to me, let it pass and go for Guerlain, which in my country costs less than 100 dollars for 100ml.
The Grey Vetiver perfume is good. Tom Ford has around 30 perfumes or more; the Noir de Noir costs 1,700 dollars.
I agree with Prieth on many things, but not this time. Although I love the semi-modern vetiver from Fat Electrician by Etat Libre d’Orange more, I affirm that my expectations for Tom Ford were met. It was truly grand as they painted it. An excellent experience trying this marvel.
It has an opening very similar to Guerlain’s vetiver: citrusy and refreshing. After a few hours, it turns woody and sweet, with a hint of pepper that gives it similarity to Chopard’s Noble Vetiver. It’s a more refined and softer version than the old Guerlain. Despite being niche, it’s not worth its price; I paid 100 dollars, and Guerlain or Chopard are better options as they last longer and cost half as much for 100ml. Moderate sillage for the first three hours and then close to the skin. Suitable for mild climates and ages between 25 and 40.
I found it very lovely, simple, and neat, very balanced. The opening is fresh with a classic and elegant vetiver, the best I’ve smelled so far. At first, it smells like a mature gentleman, but then it softens and becomes subtly sweet until the end. It lasts about six hours, with the last four close to the skin. It projects a lot in the first twenty minutes. A pleasant surprise. Rating: 6/10.
I like vetiver more and more each day and am obsessed with trying everything, although finding niche perfumes in Argentina is difficult. By chance, I managed to get a sample of Grey Vetiver. The opening is citrusy, clean, and bright, although it lasts only a few seconds. Then a spicy note appears as the citrus blends with the wood, revealing nutmeg and vetiver. It’s a more modern and versatile version than Guerlain’s, excellent for the office. It lasts just eight hours: good projection at the start, then moderate, and finally close to the skin. Given the price, I’d stick with Guerlain. Rating: 7.5/10.
Oh, vetiver, why do you hide? The opening is delicious: fresh vetiver and grapefruit, enveloping and gentle, nothing aggressive. But as time passes, it becomes oily and sweet, losing that initial freshness. By the end, the vetiver barely makes an appearance, like a whisper that fades away. It’s rich and well-crafted, offering vitality and cleanliness, perfect if you’re tired of the dark vetivers in other perfumes. It has good sillage and longevity, although it’s not my absolute favourite. A great perfume from Tom Ford, deserving a 7 out of 10.
Simple and not bad, but it’s not worth the 90 or 100 euros they ask for. It seems a bit generic for its price. On my skin, it lasts about four hours and stays almost glued to the skin afterwards.
Grey Vetiver smells clean and dashing, like a calm sea with no discordant notes. It starts fresh with citrus that, to me, smells more like lemon peel than the grapefruit mentioned in the notes, giving it a very natural feel. It then turns woody and slightly resinous, yet without overshadowing the vetiver. It’s an elegant classic, though the price is a major drawback; there are better and cheaper vetivers available, such as those by Guerlain or Puig. However, if you enjoy it and can afford it, it’s not bad. Lasts about six hours, well in the first few hours and then closer to the skin. Ideal for mild days.
Excellent if you like vetiver, that is, not for everyone. Sometimes it’s hard to wear, but here it gives it a pleasant twist. Formal and casual, but always with that lasting touch of vetiver. Good projection and longevity. Ideal for climates that aren’t too hot; I’ve enjoyed it in winter, though for many it’s a summer scent. Cold weather with a clean scent is what I enjoy. There are others with different qualities and better for some, but Grey Vetiver has the Tom Ford touch many seek: it smells elegant, clean, and impeccable.
Cold, stylised vetiver, very urban and American Psycho. Fashionable, distant, stripped of adornments like a New York loft. It evokes cold mornings, work in a suit, and cocktails in trendy clubs. It works best in its cooler side, with pretensions of elegance and class. The opening shows citrus sparks, then soft woods emerge, and the vetiver comes out clean, sharp, and green, as beautiful as an office building. Essential, functional, and shouting ‘I have style’. Tom Ford always gets ready hours before going out. The trail is discreet and longevity is good; it’s made for workdays. Interesting, though not quite as much as Encre Noir. Comparing it to Guerlain is little short of a joke. Price of around £90 for 50ml: a bloody rip-off.
If we talk about marketing, Mr Ford thought of the most famous note after lavender: vetiver. From the Texan genius with a clean style who migrated from cowboy boots to New York and showed us smooth couples in Calvin Klein underwear (horror of my grandmother), Grey Vetiver is his homage. He knows fashion, but he is also a lover of history. He pays homage to Jean-Paul Guerlain’s throne (1961), contrasting the dark side of Encre Noir with this modern, luminous, and transparent side. It’s a white or grey vetiver, like aluminium, perfect for fresh days or nights. Simple yet complex, serious, and the ‘noble’ answer for spring and summer with a renewed classic approach. Jean-Paul Guerlain will remain on his throne, but he won’t forget to bring his bottle of Grey Vetiver to spend his holidays in Monaco with a Gin Tonic. If you don’t have a vetiver and Guerlain’s seems too much, try this beautiful interpretation from the perspective of the genius who migrated from Texas.
Wonderful, sober, and refreshing. A novel approach to vetiver. However, like some new Tom Ford formulas, its performance is poor, too meagre. It seems the gentleman ‘who does everything right’ is missing his appointment with perfumery history.
One of the best I’ve tried. It conveys peace, tranquility, and elegance. Indispensable.
Grey Vetiver EDP: fresh and woody. I like how it’s made, though I must confess I have a greater weakness for the EDT. Nothing to add to my colleagues’ excellent reviews. Any differences between EDP and EDT? This is heavier on the woods, while the EDT is more citrusy and luminous. Unlike other vetivers, this is less mature but no less elegant for that. More versatile: goes with a polo and khakis or a suit without being intrusive. Good longevity and projection. I’ve enjoyed it, although the price in department stores is very inflated. If you can find it cheaper, it’s worth it.
Fresh and serious, ideal for dates or business meetings requiring formality. It starts citrusy and refreshing, then warms up, becoming woody as the vetiver takes control. In my case, it lasts about 5 or 6 hours. Hard to compare it with the heavyweights of the segment; it’s a modern, clear take on the classic vetiver, recreating that masculine neatness and style. I’ve tried several vetivers with gusto, and it’s interesting to see the differences. This deserves a mention, though the high price will sway many towards Guerlain.
Even though I’m not an expert, I believe many of us have smelled vetiver in old men’s fragrances. This one smells like vetiver mixed with body cream, super soft (perhaps nutmeg is the key), with hints of grapefruit and orange blossom. It’s modern, fresh, serious, and elegant. It reminds me of Patrick Bateman before he went psycho: controlled, sober, and politically correct. Very versatile, I give it 8/10.
Picked it up last week and it’s a cracker. An elegant scent that suits any occasion.
For me, the undisputed king of vetiver. Fresh, luminous, with a citrus and creamy touch that lends it class and exclusivity. It’s modern yet retains that nineties, cosmopolitan air. Smells like American Psycho, like New York skyscrapers and Wall Street. 10/10.
It’s like being in a meadow, a delight to savour that projects a sober, masculine joviality. Simply a treat. Suitable for those over 25.
In my opinion, one of the most elegant and distinguished day scents a man could wear. Green, woody, creamy, with a floral touch that is distinctly non-feminine. The longevity and projection are more than adequate; you can detect it all day with exquisite bursts that keep your ego high, making you feel the rest of the world is several rungs below. An absolute must-have in my collection.
What a delightful perfume, very floral and fresh, truly unique. I loved it, fell in love at first sniff. Perfect with a white tuxedo à la Jeremy, super refreshing and crisp.
In truth, I didn’t like it; Tom Ford fragrances aim for authentic, unknown scents, but here the vetiver isn’t strong, sweet, or citrusy. The trail and projection are low to medium after a few hours. The price is steep and doesn’t convey quality, even though I bought it from a recognised duty-free store. If I could perceive all the notes, perhaps only two or three: vetiver, moss, pepper, grapefruit, and orange blossom. They blend well and have quality, but it could have been done better. It smells sophisticated and very Tom Ford, yet the price doesn’t correlate. I don’t think I’ll buy it, but as a gift, I’d use it without doubt, for casual wear or work, any time of day in non-extreme climates. Performance: 6/10. Authenticity: 7.5/10. Quality: 8/10. Price: 6/10. Projection: 7/10. Longevity: 6/10. Versatility: 8/10. Total: 7/10. It’s average.
Define the scent of a sunny day (not hot). Although the EDT is brighter, the EDP isn’t so dark or serious. The opening is citrusy and fresh. As it dries, the vetiver takes centre stage but doesn’t dominate like in Encre Noir or the Guerlain version. It stays fresh, balancing wood and floral, with one of the best transitions I’ve heard. It lasts 6-7 hours, projecting well for the first two. It makes an impression without being overpowering. It’s not the ‘here I come’ type. Ideal for work or daytime meetings. It’s not portable for evening wear. I love it, but it’s a ‘love it’ with today’s lowered bar. There are better options for lovers of modern vetiver, such as Terre d’Hermès Eau Intense Vetiver, which would rank first. The EDT version is like the 3-hour cut, perfect for stealing a whiff. Compared to the Guerlain, it beats it hands down. It belongs to an era when perfumery was art, not costume sales. What a pity they’ve discontinued it.
A great exponent of vetiver handling, a modernised version of the classic Guerlain. A masculine scent with personality that conveys neatness and seriousness. Ideal for work, especially in heat (though it works all year) and during the day. One I would buy again. Highly recommended.
You can tell the citrus opening, slightly sharp, before giving way to that exquisite, classic-cut vetiver. Combined with the oakmoss, it’s perfect. The only caveat is the price. Although the scent is rich, the balance between cost and performance (a bit scant) doesn’t make me want to repurchase. There are cheaper vetivers of great quality.
It’s impossible for anyone not to like it; it smells clean and adds a refreshing touch. It’s intense but just right so as not to be overwhelming. Without a doubt, a classic in my collection.
I’ve never been to Haiti and, being not very adventurous, I don’t think I’ll go, so I won’t know how vetiver smells in its natural habitat. They say it’s earthy, like roots in damp soil. As I don’t have that reference point, I compare it with other perfumes. The Tom Ford Grey Vetiver is how my hippocampus wants to store this scent. Compared to Encre Noire Extreme, Terre d’Hermès, Guerlain, or Prada’s Infusion d’Iris, the Tom Ford one is vibrant and comforting, conveying positivity and elegance even with a tracksuit. Unlike Terre d’Hermès, which smells like a business owner, Tom Ford’s is more luminous, suited to a well-prepared young man, the ‘spoiled boss’s son’. The longevity has no flaws, present all day with moderate sillage. Its behaviour varies with the weather: heat amplifies it and sweat prolongs it, while cold calms it. If you want a vetiver, this is one of the best.
Tom Ford’s Grey Vetiver is clean, fresh and classy, far more modern and versatile than the classic Guerlain. It was my signature in university; it makes me feel happy and like a gentleman without appearing old-fashioned. The only downside is that the projection and trail are low. Age: 20+. Male. All seasons. 8-10 sprays. Scent: 8.5/10. Longevity: 8/10. Duration: 5 hours. Trail: 6.5/10. Projection: 6.5/10. Versatility: 10/10 (its strong suit). Value for money: 8.5/10. Final score: 8/10. Thanks.
I’ve never set foot in Haiti, so I can’t say for certain how vetiver smells there; according to books, it’s earthy, like a root in wet soil. Lacking that reference point, I compare it to others: Tom Ford’s Grey Vetiver is my benchmark. Compared to Encre Noire, Terre de Hermès, or Infusion d’Issey Miyake, this Tom Ford is vibrant; its citrus opening is uplifting and elegant, even if you’re wearing a tracksuit. Unlike my favourite, Terre de Hermès (for the boss), Tom Ford’s is brighter, more suited to the boss’s well-heeled son. It lasts all day with a moderate trail; heat amplifies it and sweat extends the longevity, while cold calms it down. If you’re looking for a vetiver, this is one of the best.
A classic and charming composition defines this Grey Vetiver. It’s extremely versatile, perhaps a little mature, as vetiver has been used for decades. Here we have a crystal-clear and clean vetiver, with citrus notes at the start and a solid base of amber and oakmoss. Although I initially found it dense and slightly aggressive, I’ve come to like it more and more. Longevity is very good, the ingredient quality is excellent, and the price is very fair. Overall, I recommend it. Scent: 7.5/10, Longevity 8/10 (around 9 hours on skin), Projection 7/10, Presentation 8.5/10. [RECOMMENDED]
Today I went to buy another perfume and tried this for the first time (on blotter and on skin). It had been a while since a scent excited me like this. I find it elegant, refined, and addictive. The opening is very citrusy and refreshing, but as it dries down… it’s another level! For me, it’s perfection for a daily scent, provided you can dress it appropriately (and afford it, though looking at current perfumery prices, it’s becoming more possible).
Woody, mossy, and earthy vetiver, just as I like it. A fragrance for mature gentlemen with firm judgement and strong character, not suitable for those without character, with a weak heart, or a ruined nose. 1,000 times better than Guerlain’s vetiver in scent, longevity, and trail.
Tremendous fragrance. A clean, crisp vetiver, unadorned, with just a soapy base that adds to the sense of cleanliness. I adore how the vetiver feels fresh and light, yet has so much presence. It doesn’t shout but is firm, comfortable yet classy, close but commanding respect. Forget leathers; for me, vetiver is the quintessential masculine note.
Of all the current perfumes I own, this is perhaps my favourite. The vetiver is sublime in this creation: clean, masculine, it oozes class and money. An incredible aroma. Now, the performance on my skin is disappointing: barely 4-5 hours with five sprays, maybe up to six on skin. For others, that would be normal. It’s for day to afternoon use. I think it’s ideal for an after-office drink in a bar in spring or summer; for night, I believe there are better options. Scent: 10, Longevity: 6h on skin, Sillage: 6, Projection: 6.
One of the best perfumes for spring and summer. Fresh, it conveys a good vibe and a clean aroma. Suitable for daily wear, advisable for daytime. Longevity is acceptable, around 6-8 hours.
I had no faith because I’ve never liked perfumes with vetiver as the star (Narciso Rodriguez, Guerlain, and others), but this blend with bergamot has won me over. The bergamot adds freshness and florality to a note I used to find boring. The nutmeg and iris root provide the sweetness and creaminess that hooked me. I didn’t detect any pepper, which is a note I don’t like. I won’t complain about the longevity (3-4 hours) because when I like a scent this much, that matters less, though I’d wish for more projection.
Elegant and luminous. It opens sharp, citrusy, and spiced, a vetiver rejuvenated to the max. As it dries, an amber note appears, sweetening it lightly and addictively. Ideal for warm or temperate climates; leaning towards the masculine side, I think it suits those over 25. Nothing vintage or overly mature. Fresh and elegant. Projection and longevity are moderate, around 4-5 hours, with the amber base lingering a bit longer close to the skin. Perfect as a signature scent or for the office. For a date, I’d wear it from 30 onwards; I think a younger woman might prefer it. My opinion. Delicious for vetiver lovers.
A fresh, clean vetiver that puts me in a good mood in the mornings. It doesn’t smell old, even though others might think it does. To me, it feels like the most masculine note that exists. When it dries down, it’s creamy and crisp. Incredibly fresh and it does its job. On my skin, which is usually hostile to perfumes, it lasts over six hours. It gets me through the workday, though it’s not just for that. I’ve tried other vetivers, but none compare to this.
Starts citrusy before sliding into vetiver. It’s a modern take on Guerlain’s: the herbal and medicinal notes are stripped away to leave something clear and luminous. Absolute luxury. The trail is moderate, but it lasts for ages on my skin. I only own two Tom Fords, this one and Black Orchid.
