The story behind the bottle.
Reserve Collection Black Violet, crafted by perfumers Clement Gavarry and Pascal Gaurin, was launched by Tom Ford in 2019 as part of the brand's luxurious Reserve Collection. This fragrance opens with a bright citrus note that gives way to the rich, powdery heart of violet, creating an intriguing contrast. The base notes of oakmoss and woods add an earthy depth, grounding the composition in a sophisticated woody aroma.
For best effect, apply Reserve Collection Black Violet to pulse points. The citrus opening is bright but fades quickly, so it's the violet and woody notes that linger throughout the day, providing a subtle yet distinctive scent profile.
