The story behind the bottle.
Violet Blonde by Tom Ford, launched in 2011, is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that balances the powdery warmth of iris and suede with the fresh ozonic and aquatic notes of violet leaf and mandarin orange. The heart of jasmine and orris root adds depth, while vetiver and cedar ground the composition with earthy undertones. This scent embodies the sophisticated elegance for which Tom Ford is known.
Apply Violet Blonde lightly to pulse points. The ozonic top notes are fleeting but impactful, while the musky base notes develop gradually over time, so a gentle touch ensures that both aspects shine through. Ideal for daytime wear when you want an understated elegance.
