The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Orchid Soleil by Tom Ford, launched in 2016 and crafted by perfumer Sonia Constant, is an Oriental Floral fragrance that encapsulates the warmth of sunlit blooms with a touch of sweetness. The composition opens with pink pepper and bitter orange, adding a subtle spice to the mix before diving into the heart of tuberose and red lily. This floral richness is underscored by the creamy notes of whipped cream and chestnut, which blend seamlessly into vanilla’s comforting warmth. Orchid Soleil finishes with a woody base of cypress and patchouli, complemented by a hint of animalic depth that adds an intriguing layer of complexity.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance sparingly — the floral notes are warm and enveloping, so a light spritz on pulse points will suffice. It blooms beautifully close to skin, making it perfect for intimate settings or evenings spent indoors.
