Tom Ford Violet Blonde Fragrance: In Stock

Whether he's designing his latest collection, directing a movie or creating an "It" lipstick, everything Tom Ford does is sexy (but we know this). His latest fragrance, Violet Blonde, is no exception. The new scent -- which has a decidedly 'evening' feel -- is a pretty, elegant blend of orris (the root of the iris flower) and violet leaf.

At first spritz, it's strong. Very strong. But within a few minutes the violet notes started to dry down to a soft powdery effect. About an hour later it had really mellowed on my skin, with subtle hints of the fragrance's warmer base notes (cedar, musk and suede).

While this is not one of Ford's bolder, bracing scents, it is definitely not fluffy or airy. It manages to be warm and strong in a soft, intriguing way. It's this juxtaposition that makes the scent so appealing -- and wearable.

The fragrance -- which has been poured into Ford's classic, ribbed glass bottle and stamped with a gold nameplate -- retails for $100 at saks.com
