From your scent profile
Tom Ford Ombre de Hyacinth is a unisex scent that sets the green coolness of galbanum and violet leaf against a floral heart of hyacinth and jasmine; it has been discontinued.
Skunky's take: That just-out-of-the-shower feeling, clean and fresh.
How does it perform?
From 88 community ratings, all out of 10.
Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

PowderyWhat does Ombre de Hyacinth smell like?
It opens with galbanum, violet leaf, magnolia and frankincense, fresh, green and lightly spicy. In the heart, hyacinth, jasmine and pink pepper add a soft floral note. Musk and benzoin settle the base into a powdery, sweet finish.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards daily, leisure and office wear. Voters read it as feminine more often than not, though it is unisex. Penhaligon's Gardenia and Goutal Rose Splendide have a close profile.
