Tom Ford Velvet Orchid Eau de Parfum 50ml Spray Annayake Peach and jasmine lead

Peach and jasmine lead

which means it absorbs in seconds rather than leaving your keyboard slippery

The bottle's small enough that it doesn't apologise in a desk drawer

no apology for the sweetness — it's the opening that lingers longest

Tom Ford Velvet Orchid Eau de Parfum 50ml Spray Annayake Peach and jasmine leadBlack orchid and dark plum sit at the core that fruited floral note that reads as expensive leather in low light. Tom Ford wraps it in a cushion of vanilla and sandalwood, so it lands closer to perfume than fragrance, heavier than you'd expect from the bottle. 50ml EDP spray. Four to six hours from skin, longer on clothes and hair. Skip if you're after something bright; this one is a winter coat in a scent.
