The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Black Orchid Hair Mist by Tom Ford, launched in 2017, is a luxurious Oriental Floral fragrance that balances warmth and sweetness with earthy and woody notes. The composition opens with bright citrus and fruity accords like black currant and mandarin orange, which give way to a rich heart of gardenia, jasmine, and ylang-ylang. The base layers in dark chocolate, patchouli, and incense, creating a complex warmth that is both sultry and comforting.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to your hair for a subtle yet alluring effect. It blooms gradually over time, so one or two sprays are enough to let the warm base notes develop naturally throughout the day.
