Released in 2016, Velvet Orchid Lumière by Tom Ford is sweet, floral, honey perfume with woody undertones. Pleasant vanilla and honeyed orchid scent, good quality, long-lasting. It opens with bergamot, honey, mandarin orange and rum, transitions through heart notes of black orchid, jasmine and rose, and settles into a warm base of myrrh, sandalwood and vanilla. Good Projection and performance is above average 6+ hours.

Velvet Orchid Lumière opens with a captivating boozy honey and bright mandarin, leading into that signature orchid heart. This is definitively a feminine fragrance, perfect for a glamorous date night or a significant social gathering, where its strong sillage ensures you're noticed. It offers solid longevity on my skin, and I appreciate how the myrrh and vanilla in the drydown add a warm, inviting depth that sets it apart as a luminous flanker to the original Velvet Orchid.
