Orchid Soleil Eau de Parfum

Orchid Soleil by Tom Ford, the new summer scent

For Tom Ford, nothing is more desirable than what is inaccessible. This is why he decided to create, in 2006, a perfume based on black orchid, an extraordinarily rare and refined hybrid flower. Very quickly, it became a must in perfumery. Also, it is a variation of its very refined scent that the talented Tom Ford offers us this year. The new Orchid Soleil is then already presented as a solar juice, radiant with sensuality, both glamorous and very seductive. In other words, it promises to become your ideal companion for the next summer.

THE GLAMOROUS RADIANCE OF ORCHID SOLEIL

Of course, just like its elders, Orchid Soleil is a particularly refined perfume. Also, it displays a very complex recipe. It begins with the spicy and assertive scent of pink pepper. What's more, the tenacity of this spice is further enhanced by the stimulating presence of bitter orange as well as the woodier flavor of cypress. Then, Orchid Soleil quickly evolves towards a more floral heart. The red lily reveals its vegetal power, green, suave and waxy. The tuberose, on the other hand, is more solar, heady, fruity and earthy. Finally, Orchid Soleil evolves towards a softer background. If patchouli still explores an intense and deep facet. It is nevertheless softened by the presence of chestnut and whipped cream. As for the vanilla, it deposits its suave and animal notes on the whole. Finally, the orchid sublimates everything with its floral flight. Similarly, Orchid Soleil has an absolutely sublime bottle. This one is both contemporary and classic, part of a very Art Deco trend. The finesse of its fluted glass is perfectly neat, as is its hand-tied lace at the level of its collar or its 23-carat gold inscription placed directly on its glass.

TOM FORD AND HIS SYMBOLIC FRAGRANCE

What's more, if Orchid Soleil is already very refined in appearance, know that it also contains a good number of prestigious symbols. In this case, it contains in its composition a strong dose of red lily, one of the most ancestral ingredients of perfumery and the most charged with meaning. This was already present in the heart of Greek mythology. Furthermore, these people considered the lily to be the flower of flowers. He said he was born from a drop of Hera's mother's milk while she was feeding Heracles, illegitimate son of Zeus and a mortal. Similarly, Aphrodite would have been jealous of the beauty of this flower and it was she who would have voluntarily adorned it with a prominent and obscene pistil. Later, the Bible will however make the lily a flower symbol of purity. Moreover, the prestige of this plant is such that many authors placed it at the heart of their novels like Balzac, in 1836 in his book "The lily in the valley" or Anatole France, in 1894, in "The Red Lily". Likewise, the lily is also the quintessential symbol of French royalty. In addition, know that tuberose, also at the heart of the composition of Orchid Soleil, is also loaded with meaning. In addition, the Italians conferred on it for a very long time an erotic power. This was such that young girls were forbidden to walk in the evening in the garden where the tuberose grew. According to the beliefs of the time, the latter would not have been able to resist young men because of the scent of this plant. Also, it is to say if Orchid Soleil has an aphrodisiac power!
