Vert des Bois vs Vert d'Encens

Vert des Bois is a high-quality but polarizing fragrance that divides the community. While praised for its clever composition and excellent performance, many users struggle with its harsh, abrasive character and difficulty finding appropriate occasions to wear it, with some noting it functions better as a 'performance piece' than a wearable daily fragrance. The line faces potential discontinuation due to lackluster sales.

Vert d'Encens is remembered fondly by the community as an underrated Tom Ford gem with a distinctive cool, damp forest aesthetic combined with incense smoke. While highly praised for its unique character and longevity, its discontinuation and occasional heliotrope-dominant performance limit its accessibility and universal appeal, though collectors with decants remain devoted to the fragrance.
