Violet Blonde

Violet Blonde, released by Tom Ford in 2011, is a floral fragrance with a strong woody side and lighter spicy, green, leathery and citrus touches. It is an elegant, powdery violet and iris scent.

It opens with violet leaf, which gives a crisp, green and slightly cucumber-like note, mandarin orange for brightness and pink pepper for a light, rosy spice. The heart is powdery and refined: orris root and iris give a cool, earthy, makeup-like elegance, softened by jasmine. The base is smooth and textured, with suede giving a velvety leather tone, benzoin a resinous sweetness, and Virginia cedar, vetiver and musk a clean, woody finish.

Wearers report moderate to long lasting wear and a moderate trail. It is voted for autumn and winter, for day and night almost equally, so it suits work and evenings in colder months, for someone who likes chic, powdery florals.
