HeartThe Soul
The story behind the bottle.
Ombre de Hyacinth by Tom Ford was launched in 2012 and crafted by perfumer Calice Becker. This fragrance opens with a bright green and ozonic accord that feels like the freshness of a crisp spring morning, followed by vibrant hyacinth and magnolia petals. The heart features pink pepper and jasmine, adding a subtle spiciness and floral sweetness. It settles into an amber and musky base that provides warmth and depth without overpowering the lighter top notes.
Apply this fragrance lightly — the ozonic and green top notes are bright but fleeting. Focus on areas like your neck and wrists where the warmth of your skin will help the floral heart bloom gradually throughout the day.

“I like to add a dose of intrigue because nothing catches the attention of a touch of something unexpected.”
