Velvet Orchid by Tom Ford opens warm and sweet, honey and rum poured over bright citrus, rich from the very first minutes. Orchid sits at the centre, soft and floral, wrapped in suede for a slightly powdery, tactile feel. The base turns creamy and warm spicy, vanilla, sandalwood and musk holding the sweetness close to the skin. Released in 2014, it is worn by men and women alike, and suits anyone drawn to a scent with real weight rather than a light floral. Voters reach for it in spring and fall, across both day and evening. Most wearers call its longevity long lasting, and most also vote the sillage strong, so a little goes a long way. A 3ml decant is enough to know if it belongs on your shelf.

The community verdict
Long-lasting on most skin and strong in projection for most, Velvet Orchid wears with honey, rum and citrus before orchid and suede settle into vanilla, sandalwood and musk. Its sweet, powdery warmth suits spring days, while autumn and evenings work too. It has a floral richness with a warm, soft finish.
