Launched in 2007 by Tom Ford, Velvet Gardenia is a composition that envelops you with the lush richness of white florals and warm amber. The fragrance opens with gardenia and tuberose, creating an immediate impression of opulent blooms, which are then softened by honey and beeswax. These sweet, creamy notes blend seamlessly into an animalic base of incense and French labdanum, adding a subtle depth that makes Velvet Gardenia feel both intimate and commanding.

Application Tips
Apply Velvet Gardenia in small amounts — the honey and beeswax notes are rich enough to create an immediate impact. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than across a room, so aim for pulse points like your wrists and neck.
