A Tom Ford masterpiece. Smells like those old violet candies. It has that solid, dark touch typical of the brand. Absolutely spectacular. It’s already my seventh Tom Ford fragrance. I feel amazing wearing it and I really enjoy its trail.
One of Tom Ford’s hidden gems. Sounds interesting, and based on the Götterdämmerung description, even more intriguing. We just picked it up on eBay at a high but reasonable price, so we’ll see how it turns out.
I’d give anything to try this perfume. If anyone sells me some ml in decants, I’d be forever grateful for $1000…
Black Violet is a truly unique and incomparable fragrance. It’s hard to review, even harder to find, and incredibly addictive. Its main scent isn’t violet, as the name suggests. The opening burst is citrusy and super fresh with oakmoss and fungi. Then the violets unfold with woods—nothing sweet or powdery like makeup, but something distinct. It’s one of the few that fills the room with a spectacular boom like a supernova from the dark depths of the universe.
