Subtiler Duft

Ein exquisiter, unkonventioneller und sehr subtiler Duft für Ästheten. Diesen Duft erkennt man als einer von Fords Linie.
Dadurch, dass der Duft stark ist, reicht die kleine Flasche sehr lange.
Das ist ein gute Duft für kalte Wintertage. Prätentiös, aufsehenerregend und wenn man es übertreibt, erstickt man nicht nur sich selbst, sondern auch seine Mitmenschen.

Purple velvet

Clear Black Orchid DNA, in the head with fruity mandarins dipped in honey and soaked in rum. In the heart black orchid and jasmine, which makes the perfume dark and heavy. The base of vanilla, myrrh, sandalwood and labdanum holds everything together and makes the scent warm and oriental creamy. Lasts a long time, especially on clothes and the sillage is great too. A great perfume for the evening, even in summer, as Velvet Orchid Lumière comes across a bit lighter than Black Orchid for example. The Tom Ford flacons are also very elegant and please me extraordinarily well.

A fragrance for going out - Exudes a sense of adventure

This fragrance is a special one for me.

The rum note ensures that. I find them in a way somewhat disturbing, but in another way also animating. Somehow it works on me in a good mood. Have worn the fragrance at a Detroit techno party, actually, he is too elegant for this, but it just fit. The colorful yet minimalistic visuals in the club, the dark music and a crackle in the air. That night I found the one I want to grow old with.

I don't really know much about the smell of orchids. Have already maintained some of this kind and find them as plants partly really beautiful, but olfactory I have not yet been able to establish the right link.

I like the deep dark rose best, the heavy sweetness and also the oriental frame that holds all the components together unceremoniously. Labdanum fits so well into the concept. Myrrh and vanilla round out the perfume. Sandalwood I personally do not hear.

Conclusion: solemn
