Where to buy
Black Orchid had brought its touch of glamorous femininity by delivering an exceptional juice; Velvet Orchid, as its worthy descendant, will do no less by delivering a version of the black orchid that is luminous and floral while being sensual enough to make the pretty flower pale in comparison.
Tom Ford's Velvet Orchid perfume, or ultra femininity in the guise of an orchid…
Tom Ford is a lover of perfumes, but not just any perfume. Of fragrances that are rich, dense, complex, that elevate men and women through their exceptional scents. Thus each Tom Ford perfume is created with original and unique raw materials, as if to trace an exceptional perfumed sillage all the better, because, as the designer states, Not everyone can afford a Maserati, but most people can buy a bottle.
From these exceptional perfumes a public of Tom Ford fragrance enthusiasts was born, like a circle of initiates passionate about art. There was first Black Orchid and its woody, sensual and floral beauty. Then the beautiful bottles of the Private Blend collection, such as Neroli Portofino, each of which carried within it the essence of a choice raw material. Now it is the signature perfumes that offer us their wonders, and this beautiful Velvet Orchid will truly not be left behind!
Velvet Orchid, as a worthy descendant of the now cult Black Orchid, stands out through a deep and intense sensuality but also through elegant and luminous flowers. Because yes, Velvet Orchid plays, like many other Tom Ford perfumes, on chiaroscuro and contrasts to offer women a perfume as multifaceted as their thousand faces.
As for the advertising campaign for Velvet Orchid, it too stands out through its striking contrasts. On one side, the beauty of the video spot shot like a retro and glamorous love film with Kelleth Cuthbert and Shaheryar Khan is a fine achievement. On the other, the provocative visual where Gigi Hadid appears completely nude in a setting of purple cellophane once again draws attention, as was the case for that of Black Orchid.
Velvet Orchid, a perfume like a dissolve shot of luminous flowers and deep sensualities
The now iconic bottle of Tom Ford is still used for this pretty perfumed flower Velvet Orchid. This time the retro fluted glass is dressed in beautiful purple hues to match the color of the flower it seeks to render in its juice.
Velvet Orchid opens on a fruity citrus accord of Mandarin and Bergamot dusted with a Sugar accord. The honeyed note will embalm these tangy notes, better letting them melt into the original absolute note of succan, which is none other than Rum. Then the heart reveals the famous black orchid, which lets itself be swept away in a whirlwind of Turkish Rose oil and Jasmine. The luminosity of this floral heart is also created, of course, thanks to the presence of opulent Orange Blossom, Narcissus, Hyacinth and the so versatile Heliotrope. Then these beautiful radiant flowers give way to an absolute sensuality created by Peru Balsam, Labdanum, Myrrh and Sandalwood. Vanilla brings its gourmand luminosity to these so mysterious animalic colors.
Tom Ford Velvet Orchid is a floral oriental that evokes the carnal grandeur and seductive power of the iconic Black Orchid in an ultra-feminine fragrance developed with notes of Lemon, Honey Rose and Rum. Tom Ford about Velvet Orchid.
