The Game Changer

Tom Ford Velvet Orchid – a strong contender for my favourite fragrance in the entire world. I have a few fragrances that I really love after having a revamp this year, but none that I feel as strongly about as this one. I can’t bear to leave the house not wearing it and I’ve never felt like this with a fragrance before.

I’ve given most of the Tom Ford fragrances a good whiff, and before getting this I thought I knew what my favourite scents from their collections were. But after wearing this for a day rather than spritzing it on a card, the game was completely changed. It’s sweet and quite deep and has the effect of leaving you wanting more with every sniff. It’s so far from my usual powdery fresh parisian scents that I’ve become rather accustomed to – making me love it even more – against all my preferences and what I think I like, I love this one. And such game changers should, without a shadow of a doubt,  require a repurchase.

Top Notes:
Italian bergamot, Mandarin, Rum succan absolute, Honey



Middle Notes: Jasmine, Turkish rose, Cattleva leopoldii orchid, Black orchid, Orange blossom, Moroccan rose, Heliotropin, Magnolia, Jonquil, Hyacinth


Base Notes: Labdanum, Sandalwood, Peru balsam, Myrrh, Suede, Comoro island vanilla

    I tried this one out the other week at an event and loved the way it smelled once sprayed on! Totally different from my usual scents as well. It is definitely on my list.

    Thanks for your review Suzie!

    Love the packaging, I've smelt lots of the TF fragrances but never really found one I like. Will give this one a whiff next time I see them.

    Hi Suzie! How does his compare to TF Black Orchid? I've been loving that one since I got a sample of it in a Sephora order but now I'm wondering if I should try this too!
