Tom Ford’s latest latest fragrance for men, Grey Vetiver, is now hitting stores, and the brand was kind enough to send over a bottle to test. How’s it smell? As you’d expect, like vetiver. (Cologne types know it well as an Indian grass, while the less-fresh masses may be more familiar with it as the name of a shaggy folk band occasionally joined by Devendra Banhart. As ought to be evident, it’s the former in the mix here.) Says Ford: Vetiver is "the fragrance equivalent of the classic blue blazer, the beautiful watch, or the cap-toed shoe." The cologne is light and spicy, with additional notes of orris, nutmeg, and grapefruit. Pretty tame for a guy who compared a previous scent to "men’s crotch."

$85, available next week at select Bloomingdale’s locations, bloomingdales.com
