Velvet Orchid, released by Tom Ford in 2014, was composed by Calice Becker, Yann Vasnier, Antoine Maisondieu and Shyamala Maisondieu. Everyone describes it as floral, with gourmand, resinous, citrus, musky and leather facets each noticed by a minority. It is a dense, feminine floral with a boozy edge.
The opening is bergamot and mandarin orange darkened by honey and rum. The heart is a heavy bouquet, orchid and black orchid with rose oil, jasmine, magnolia, heliotrope, hyacinth, narcissus and orange blossom, so it is lush and slightly powdery. The base turns warm and balsamic with vanilla, labdanum, myrrh and Peru balsam over sandalwood and suede.
About half of wearers report long lasting performance and the trail is split almost evenly between moderate and strong. It is voted for autumn and winter and mainly for night, which places it as a rich evening scent for cold weather.
