Created by Michael Nordstrand, Olivier Gillotin
Vert des Bois by Tom Ford is a Woody fragrance for women and men. Vert des Bois was launched in 2016. Vert des Bois was created by Olivier Gillotin and Michael Nordstrand. Top notes are Poplar (Populus) buds, Olive Tree, Anise and Plum; middle notes are Mastic or Lentisque and Jasmine; base notes are Patchouli, Woody Notes and Tonka Bean. The new collection of the Tom Ford's exclusive Private Blend line for 2016 presents the four new interpretations of the classic "green" notes in perfumery: Vert d'Encens, Vert de Bois, Vert Bohème and Vert de Fleur. Vert des Bois represents a provocative scent of woods and avant-garde processing of green perfume. It opens with clean buds of poplar and Ouzo accord with the smell of anise, along with plum and olive leaf. The heart of white flowers is defined by jasmine, enriched with green mastic. Roasted tonka bean and patchouli end the composition. It is available as a 50 and 250 ml Eau de Parfum.

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.
