It may be hectic here but one thing's for sure; we've all had time to appreciate and enjoy Velvet Orchid by Tom Ford.
Velvet Orchid comes after the success of Black Orchid, a dark vamp of a perfume. Velvet Orchid is slightly more feminine/girly, while still a vamp-esque perfume. The gorgeous, sumptuous scent opens with a blend of fruits, honey and rum. The core of the perfume is floral through and through and the rich, creamy base, made up of hints of vanilla, myrrh, sandalwood and suede really give it a moreish quality.
It smells warming and cosy while remaining sexy and beautiful. With one or two sprays Velvet Orchid lasts the whole day and the silage is great with big wafts of scent greeting you regularly.
It feels very sophisticated but not at all old fashioned or traditional. On Bryony's skin she can smell a tropical element which is probably created by the fruit and rum notes.
It has a gentle sweetness but is well rounded thanks to the base notes. The perfume doesn't develop as such on the skin; after a few minutes your presented with the scent that is Velvet Orchid - it mellows down and matures but doesn't lose any of its beauty or 'die down'.
The bottle is simple and subtle yet beautiful and the purple colour of the bottle gives it a regal feel. The name and colour theme gives a sense of luxury. It's simply stunning.
Has anyone else tried this Tom Ford perfume? What do you prefer, Black Orchid or Velvet Orchid?
