Vert Boheme by Tom Ford Review

Today, we have another entry from the Tom Ford Private Blend collection, Vert Boheme. This one was released back in 2016 and is probably one of the brand’s lesser known fragrances. The question is, is Very Boheme an unknown gem or a perfume that is actually quite forgettable? How does it smell? Is it worth a try?

My Full Wear Review

The opening of Vert Boheme is very green with a floral disposition and just a hint of mandarin to give it a citrus undertone. Galbanum is heavily present with violet leaf being its less intense pairing.

This pairing could easily go overboard, but stays relatively tame due to the introduction of honeysuckle and the aforementioned Sicilian mandarin.

It’s quite interesting, how Vert Boheme, walks the line between floral perfume and that outdoorsy green smell. The latter, is what it leans toward, but there are defined elements of both in here. It never strikes me as being too much of a bouquet, rather, it is cool and has a sort of mossy feel to it.

Vert Boheme is a very clean and fresh outdoorsy scent with a watery scent lurking in the background. The whole thing is pretty linear and what you smell 20 minutes in, is pretty much what I get for the rest of the wear. However, it does have a woodier aroma as it dries down, and you get deep into its life cycle.

Sillage, Longevity, and Versatility

Projection wise, the sillage of this Tom Ford fragrance is quite moderate. It isn’t super powerful at the start and then fade away. No, it is just consistently in this moderate range during the wear.

With the longevity, I get about 6-7 hours out of this one. Not great, but a solid performer. Still, once I get into this sort of price range, I do start to expect more than thise.

Seasonally, I’d call it spring to early summer. It feels as if it’d be fine in a range of temperatures, except maybe toward the higher end of the spectrum. The green and floral aspects bring to mind a spring garden or walking along the edge of the woods, and Vert Boheme really fits that mood.

It is a feminine perfume and I don’t think that I could wear this as a unisex fragrance. It’s not super girly or anything, but is reminiscent of ladies’ scents, and there’s nothing notably masculine about Vert Boheme.

It’s a casual to office wear scent, not anything sexy or that cries out to be worn at night, more of a simple and clean everyday fragrance. I wouldn’t expect much beyond that.

Overall Impressions of Vert Boheme

Overall do I like Vert Boheme? It’s okay. Nothing about it strikes me as particularly amazing. If you are in the market for a very green, slightly aquatic, and floral perfume; then, I guess this would be a good option to consider.

For a more mass appeal? Not really. It’s pretty niche, in terms of who it would appeal to. It smells just fine and has a refreshing character, but it’s nothing that’s crazy good.
