Grey Vetiver Parfum by Tom Ford delivers a darker, more mature interpretation of the original Grey Vetiver, emphasizing woody, earthy, and spicy accords. The scent features a dry, metallic austerity with a leathery undercurrent enhanced by saffron, creating a sophisticated yet understated presence. The vetiver is front and center, richer and deeper than in the EDP, with minimal citrus and a more linear, layered drydown. It performs reasonably well over time, lasting moderately long on skin and longer on clothing, though not with strong projection or impressive sillage. It suits those who appreciate a refined, masculine vetiver without the bright, effervescent opening of previous versions. While some find it overly metallic or harsh up close, others admire its depth, balance, and elegance, especially when worn in cooler seasons or as a daytime or night-time versatile fragrance.
