Reader Review of the Day: Tom Ford Black Orchid Voile de Fleur
Choosing a fragrance is a such a subjective experience, and I'm always game to hear opinions on perfumes — particularly when it comes to Tom Ford fragrances. Reader Poptart Princess recently reviewed Tom Ford Fragrances Black Orchid Voile de Fleur ($92), a subtler take on his original Black Orchid, which was launched in 2006. Here's what Poptart Princess had to say about this toned-down version:
[It's] elegant and sophisticated.
Fragrance Review: Tom Ford White Patchouli
With the breathtaking Erykah Badu in the ads (which you loved) and a devastatingly chic white opal glass bottle with 23K gold accents, Tom Ford White Patchouli ($92) certainly has the bells and whistles that make up a cult classic. But as it turns out, I would still wear this fragrance if it came in a plastic spray bottle sold on the street.
White Patchouli is characterized as a "floral-infused wood fragrance," so the patchouli is surrounded by notes of peony, rose, and jasmine.
Love It or Hate It? Erykah Badu Teams Up With Tom Ford
Remember Tom Ford's raunchy cologne ads? (They're borderline NSFW.) This new ad seems downright wholesome in comparison. The immensely talented Erykah Badu is the face of his forthcoming fragrance, White Patchouli.
Love It or Hate It? Tom Ford For Men Campaign
We've already seen a few ads for Tom Ford For Men, the new fragrance that hits Saks on September 24. As it turns out, those were the tame ones! Tom and photographer Terry Richardson saved their raunchiest photos for the website, where you can see some ads that are definitely not safe for work.
What Do You Think of Tom Ford's New Campaign?
I have a lot of friends who love Tom Ford. Personally, I find his sex shtick a little trite; I think he distills women into body parts, which is neither terribly creative nor lady-friendly. No matter whether you love him or loathe him, though, I bet you'll have something to say about his new ad campaign for his eponymous men's fragrance, featuring photography by the maestro of sleaze, Terry Richardson.
Does Tom Ford's Fragrance Have the White Stuff?
Here's a question about fragrance that's considerably more scandalous than most: Does Tom Ford's Tuscan Leather fragrance smell like cocaine? That's the latest hearsay, and New York magazine got to the bottom of the question:
Well, according to cognoscenti of that drug, yes, a bit. “That’s what everyone says,” admits a counterboy at the Ford store on Madison, who adds that one customer even bought a bottle because he thought it smelled like coke.
Tom Ford's Decadent New Fragrance
As part of his new Tom Ford Beauty line, the designer has just released a fragrance, called Tom Ford Black Orchid Eau de Parfum, that's as exotic and decadent as the flower it's named after. The spicy, sexy scent contains top notes of black truffle and bergamot combined with hints of patchouli, deep florals, vetiver, and incense.
Since the black orchid is one of the most elusive and unattainable hybrids in existence, Ford's perfume has a fitting air of mystery, packaged in a black-glass bottle with gold engraving.
