Velvet Orchid is an opulent amber floral for women from the Tom Ford Signature line, launched in 2014 and signed by Yann Vasnier. Bergamot, mandarin, rum absolute and honey give a bright, slightly boozy start, then velvet and black orchid, Turkish rose, jasmine, orange blossom and narcissus fill the heart. Peru balsam, myrrh, labdanum, sandalwood, suede and vanilla make a sumptuous base. The 50ml Eau de Parfum suits date nights and dinners in autumn and winter.
