Orchid Soleil
Orchid Soleil by Tom Ford is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2016 in the premium price tier. It opens with cypress, pink pepper and bitter orange, moves into tuberose and dries down to whipped cream, chestnut, vanilla, orchid and patchouli. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Cypress Cool, green, resinous conifer. Sharp and clean.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Bitter Orange Marmalade without the sugar. Sour and slightly medicinal.
Heart
- Tuberose Creamy, waxy and enormous. The loudest white flower.
Dry-down
- Whipped Cream Airy, milky sweetness. Light rather than dense.
- Chestnut Roasted, starchy and faintly sweet. Autumnal and comforting.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Orchid Creamy, sweet and slightly synthetic. A modern florals staple.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
