'To this day, velvet is my favorite fabric. The woman who wears Velvet Orchid is not a wildflower. She’s an urban flower, a hothouse flower…she’s an orchid.” – Tom Ford About the fragrance: Velvet orchid laces black orchid’s mystique with shimmering freshness, petals, honey and rum – seducing with a fluid, textured touch. Key notes: Shimmering freshness, honey, rum and a dramatic floral veil.
