It has a very refreshing citrus opening, though 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 seems 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 instead of green ones. It’s classic and distinguished, though I don’t find it better than Guerlain’s, which I’m more in love with thanks to its tobacco note. Regarding price-to-quality, I estimate Guerlain is better since this one is more expensive and doesn’t surpass its performance. With a 100ml bottle, I got good longevity and moderate-to-heavy projection, 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 like they did to me, skip it and go for Guerlain, which costs less than 100 dollars in 100ml in my country.
The Grey Vetiver perfume is good. Tom Ford has about 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 great as they painted it. An excellent experience testing 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 touch 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 since they last longer and cost half as much in 100ml. Moderate projection for the first 3 hours, then close to the skin. Best for mild climates and ages 25 to 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. Lasts about 6 hours, with the last 4 close to the skin. Projects a lot in the first 20 minutes. A pleasant surprise. Rating: 6/10.
I like vetiver more and more every day and am obsessed with trying everything, although finding niche perfumes in Argentina is tough. By chance, I got a sample of Grey Vetiver. The opening is citrusy, clean, and bright, though 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. Lasts exactly 8 hours: good projection at first, then moderate, and finally close to the skin. For the price, I’d stick with Guerlain. Rating: 7.5/10.
Simple and not bad, but it’s not worth the 90 or 100 euros they ask. It feels a bit generic for the price. On my skin, it lasts about 4 hours and stays almost glued to the skin afterward.
Oh, vetiver, why do you hide? The opening is delicious: fresh, enveloping, and gentle vetiver and grapefruit, nothing aggressive. But as time passes, it becomes oily and sweet, losing that initial freshness. By the end, the vetiver barely peeks through, like a whisper fading away. It’s rich and well-crafted, bringing vitality and cleanliness, perfect if you’re tired of the dark vetivers in other perfumes. It has good projection and longevity, though it’s not my absolute favorite. A great Tom Ford perfume, deserves a 7/10.
Grey Vetiver smells clean and dapper, like a calm sea with no off-notes. It starts fresh with citrus that reminds me more of lemon peel than the grapefruit listed, everything feeling very natural. Then it turns woody and slightly resinous, but without overshadowing the vetiver. It’s an elegant classic, though the price is a major drawback; there are better and cheaper vetivers out there, like those from Guerlain or Puig. But if you like it and can afford it, it’s not bad. Lasts about 6 hours, strong in the first few hours and then closer to the skin. Ideal for mild days.
Excellent if you like vetiver, meaning, 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 vetiver touch. Good projection and longevity. Ideal for climates that aren’t too hot; I’ve liked it in winter, though for many it’s a summer scent. Cold weather with a clean aroma 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, stylized vetiver, very urban and American Psycho. Fashionable, distant, stripped of adornments like a New York loft. It evokes cold mornings, suits at work, and cocktails in trendy spots. It works on its coolest 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 screaming ‘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 almost a joke. Price of about 90€ for 50ml: a damn rip-off.
If we talk about marketing, Mr. Ford thought of the most famous note after lavender: vetiver. From the stylish Texan genius who migrated from cowboy boots to NY and showed us clean-shaven guys in Calvin Klein underwear (my grandmother’s horror), Grey Vetiver is his homage. He knows fashion, but he’s also a lover of history. He pays tribute 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 aluminum, perfect for fresh days or nights. Simple but complex, serious, and the ‘noble’ answer for spring and summer with a renewed classic approach. Jean-Paul Guerlain will stay on his throne, but he won’t forget to grab his Grey Vetiver bottle 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. But, like some new Tom Ford formulas, its performance is poor, too weak. It seems the ‘I do everything right’ guy 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 weakness for the EDT. Nothing to add to my colleagues’ excellent reviews. What’s the difference between EDP and EDT? This one is heavier on the woods, while the EDT is more citrusy and luminous. Unlike other vetivers, this is less mature but no less elegant. More versatile: it goes with a polo and khakis or a suit without being intrusive. Good longevity and projection. I liked it, although the price in department stores is inflated. If you find it cheaper, it’s worth it.
Fresh and serious, ideal for dates or business meetings that demand 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 that recreates that masculine cleanliness and style. I’ve tried several vetivers with high hopes, and it’s interesting to see the differences. This one deserves a note, though the high price will sway many toward Guerlain.
Even though I’m not an expert, I think many of us have smelled vetiver in old men’s fragrances. This one smells like vetiver mixed with body lotion, super smooth (maybe 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.
I picked it up last week and it’s a hit. An elegant aroma that works well in any occasion.
For me, the undisputed king of vetiver. Fresh, luminous, with a citrus and creamy touch that adds class and exclusivity. It’s modern yet carries that ’90s cosmopolitan vibe. Smells like American Psycho, NY skyscrapers, and Wall Street. 10/10.
It’s like being in a meadow, a delight to savor that projects sober, masculine joviality. A true delight. For men over 25.
In my opinion, one of the most elegant and poised day fragrances a man can wear. Green, woody, creamy, with a floral touch that’s not feminine. Longevity and projection are more than enough. You can smell it all day with those exquisite bursts that keep your ego high; wearing it makes you feel like everyone else is several rungs below. An absolute must-have in my collection.
What a delightful perfume, very floral and fresh, unique. I loved it, love at first sniff. Perfect with a white tuxedo style Jeremy, super refreshing and crisp.
It defines the scent of a sunny day (not hot). Although the EDT is brighter, the EDP isn’t as dark or serious. The opening is citrusy and fresh. As it dries, the vetiver takes center stage but doesn’t dominate like in Encre Noire or the Guerlain version. It stays fresh between woody and floral, with one of the best transitions I’ve heard. It lasts 6-7 hours projecting well for the first 2. It’s noticeable without being overwhelming. It’s not the “here I come” type. Ideal for work or daytime meetings. Not portable for night. I love it, but it’s a “love it” with today’s lowered bar. There are better options for modern vetiver lovers, like Terre D’Hermès Eau Intense Vetiver, which would rank first. The EDT version is like a 3-hour cut, perfect for stealing. Compared to the Guerlain, it crushes it. It belongs to an era where perfumery was art, not costume sales. What a pity they discontinued it.
Honestly, I didn’t like it; TF fragrances usually seek authentic and unknown scents, but here the vetiver isn’t strong, sweet, or citrusy. Sillage and projection are low to moderate after a few hours. The price is steep and doesn’t convey quality, even though I bought it at a recognized duty-free store. If I could perceive all the notes, maybe only two or three: vetiver, oakmoss, pepper, grapefruit, orange blossom. They’re well-blended and it has quality, but they could have done a better job. It smells sophisticated and like a TF signature, but the price doesn’t match. I don’t think I’ll buy it, but I’d definitely use it as a gift, 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.
A great example of vetiver mastery, a modernized take on the classic Guerlain. Masculine aroma with personality, bringing tidiness and seriousness. Ideal for work, especially in heat (though it works all year) and during the day. I’d buy it again. Highly recommended.
You can tell the citrus opening is sharp at first, before giving way to that exquisite, classic-cut vetiver. Combined with the oakmoss, it’s perfect. The only catch is the price. Although the scent is rich, the balance between price and performance (a bit scarce) doesn’t convince me to repurchase. There are cheaper vetivers of great quality.
It’s impossible for anyone not to like it; it smells clean and adds freshness. It’s intense but just right so it doesn’t overwhelm. Definitely a classic in my collection.
Tom Ford Grey Vetiver is clean, fresh, and classy—much more modern and versatile than the classic Guerlain version. It was my signature in college; it makes me happy and I feel like a gentleman without looking outdated. The only downside is that projection and sillage are low. Age: 20+. Male. All seasons. 8-10 sprays. Scent: 8.5/10. Longevity: 8/10. Duration: 5h. Sillage: 6.5/10. Projection: 6.5/10. Versatility: 10/10 (its strong suit). Value: 8.5/10. Final Score: 8/10. Thanks.
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 wet soil. Since I don’t have that reference point, I compare it with other perfumes. The Tom Ford Grey Vetiver is what my hippocampus wants to store this scent as. 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, fitting for a well-prepared young man, the ‘rich kid of the boss.’ The longevity has no flaws, present all day with moderate projection. Its behavior varies with the weather: heat amplifies it and sweat prolongs it, while cold calms it down. If you want a vetiver, this is one of the best.
I’ve never stepped foot in Haiti, so I can’t say for sure how vetiver smells there, but books describe it as earthy, like roots 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 Prada Infusion d’Iris, this Tom Ford is vibrant; its citrus opening is a win, bringing elegance even if you’re wearing sweatpants. Unlike my favorite Terre de Hermès (for the boss), this Tom Ford is brighter, more for the boss’s spoiled son. It lasts all day with moderate sillage; heat amplifies it and sweat extends it, 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 bit mature since vetiver has been around for decades. Here we have a crystal-clear, clean vetiver with citrus notes at the start and a solid base of amber and oakmoss. Although I initially found it dense and a bit overwhelming, I’ve grown to like it more and more. Longevity is very good, ingredient quality is high, and the price is great. Overall, I recommend it. Scent: 7.5/10, Longevity 8/10 (about 9 hours on skin), Projection 7/10, Presentation 8.5/10. [RECOMMENDED]
Today I went to buy another perfume and tried this one for the first time (on blotter and on skin). It’s been a while since a scent excited me like this. It feels elegant, refined, and addictive. The opening is very citrusy and refreshing, but when it dries down… it’s another level! For me, it’s the perfect daily scent, as long as you can dress it appropriately (and afford it, though given current perfumery prices, it’s becoming more possible).
Woody, mossy, and earthy vetiver, just how I like it. A fragrance for mature gentlemen with firm judgment and strong character, not for people without character, weak hearts, or bad noses. 1000 times better than Guerlain’s vetiver in scent, longevity, and sillage.
Tremendous fragrance. A clean, crisp vetiver, unadorned, with just a soapy base that enhances the feeling of cleanliness. I love how the vetiver feels fresh and light yet has a lot of presence. It doesn’t shout but it’s firm, comfortable yet classy, close but commanding respect. Forget leathers; for me, vetiver is the quintessential masculine note.
Out of all the current perfumes I own, this is probably my favorite. The vetiver is sublime in this creation: clean, masculine, radiating class and sophistication. An incredible aroma. Now, the performance on my skin is disappointing: barely 4-5 hours with 5 sprays, maybe up to 6 on skin. For others, that would be normal. It’s for day-to-afternoon wear. I think it’s ideal for an after-office drink at a bar in spring or summer; for night, I think there are better options. Scent: 10, Longevity: 6h on skin, Sillage: 6, Projection: 6.
One of the best perfumes for spring-summer. Fresh, gives off a great vibe, and smells clean. Great for daily wear, best used during the day. Longevity is acceptable, around 6-8 hours.
I had no hope because I’ve never liked perfumes with vetiver as the star (Narciso Rodriguez, Guerlain, and others), but this blend with orange blossom has won me over. The orange blossom adds freshness and florality to a note I used to find boring. 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’m not complaining about the longevity (3-4 hours) because when I love a scent this much, that doesn’t matter, but I’d wish for more projection.
Elegant and luminous. It opens sharp, citrusy, and spicy—a vetiver rejuvenated to the max. As it dries, an amber note emerges that sweetens it lightly and addictively. Ideal for warm or temperate climates; leans masculine, I think it’s better for ages 25 and up. Nothing vintage or mature. Fresh and elegant. Projection and longevity are moderate, around 4-5 hours, though the amber base lingers a bit longer close to the skin. Perfect as a signature scent or for the office. I’d wear it for a date starting at 30; I think a younger woman might prefer something else. My take: 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 6 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 and then slides into vetiver. It’s a modern take on Guerlain’s: they stripped out the herbal and medicinal vibes to leave something clear and luminous. Total luxury. The trail is medium, but it lasts forever on my skin. I only own two Tom Fords, this one and Black Orchid.
