What it is: A warm oriental floral that reveals the lavish femininity of the Tom Ford orchid.

Fragrance story: Velvet Orchid is a fragrance that lives in the black orchid world of glamorous mystique, sharing its aura yet standing apart with its own compelling identity. It pushes the DNA of the original Black Orchid into new territory, evolving hidden facets of the original's olfactive structure with extravagant ingredients to reveal even more brilliance, femininity and attractive force. In Velvet Orchid, the daring and dramatic floral signature of Black Orchid is the inspiration for a warm, enveloping fragrance that is lavished with shimmering freshness, dramatic petals, honey and rum. The woods and spices of the original scent recede and a contrasting veil of petally floralcy casts a shadow of ultra-femininity throughout. A new character emerges, one that pulls rather than pushes and that is more harmonious than mysterious. Elegantly refined and polished. It is the rippling black silk next to Black Orchid's sleek marble. Velvet Orchid masterfully embellishes and evolves the Black Orchid legacy.
