TF's Velvet Orchid, in its opening, is a fantasy tropical setting with giant, honeyed honeysuckles and balmy coconuts for me - probably myrhh in real life. Big, balmy, fluorescent, a bit vamp and...

I thought I would love this - I read reviews of Velvet Orchid as the approachable younger sister of Black Orchid (she's friendly and cheerful whereas BO is staring at you with smoldering eyes...

Even though there are only a handful of scents in his line that I can get down with, I credit Tom Ford for bringing back the lost art of real perfumery which seems to have been thrown by the...

I am so confused!!! I love this scent at first spray. But after a few hours it feels strong, musky, unclean, an older persons scent and it lingers on clothing (not in a good way). I don't use it on...

One of my signature scents... My husband loves this perfume! It's so sexy and perfect for nighttime. It lingers for a long time. Oddly, my confidence just radiates when I wear this... So random,...

I really like this- it kind of reminds me of Dior Poison. It lasts for a long time too (which is rare for me). It's very dark and unique- definitely try before buying.

I didn't want to like Velvet Orchid (or anything Tom Ford puts out for that matter), but I fell in love with this fragrance and had to have it. Yes, HAD to have it. Since more perceptive and...

I have mixed feelings about Velvet Orchid. At first I was impressed, the tropical florals and truffle opening was similar to Black Orchid and loved it, I thought it would basically be an easier...

Mmm! I already had Black Orchid and Voile de Fleur, so I wasn't sure Velvet Orchid would be different enough to have all three -- but yeah, I think it is, and I'm glad I have a bottle. So now I...

I have the opposite review of the person below me, and we both did not like it! I am drawn to florientals, but this is too cloying and just makes me want to gag for the first 8 hours. After that...

This is a dark, heavy fragrance. Top notes on me were a burst of orchid, bergamot and rum. Middle notes, what can I say, it smelled purple. It didn't smell like junior high dance purple, but it...

I don't want to like this, but I do.........a lot........ It's heavy. Very heavy. Not as heavy as normal Black Orchid, but heavy. On me, it's half vanilla, half orchid/heavy tropical floral,...

All that really comes through to me is honeyed vanilla in a sugary waffle cone. I've heard a lot about the complexity of Tom Ford fragrances, but this seemed linear and way too sweet - and this...

Not a huge fan of TF, yet velvet Orchid didn't suffocate me like his other perfumes...it is lighter than the original, although still quite smokey, and warm in the base.not for me but overall...

I live in the UK and it is yet to be released here. From the great reviews I had to have it so it was a blind buy. My bottle of Velvet Orchid arrived a week ago. I'm not usually so impatient to...

I adore Black Orchid, so when I saw this new version I had to try it. I got a sample of it at Sephora and I instantly fell in love with it. I spent the rest of the afternoon with my wrist glued...
