This scent smells like you are on the beach during your vacation. I love love this fragrance. If Fracas were imbued with bright golden rays of pure sunshine and chestnut scented whipped cream. I would have never bought it based off the notes, but the combination is amazing. Its classy, elegant, and sexy. The initial spray smells like I'm in a heavily wooded cypress forrest on a beautiful sunny day. What else can you ask for. (Thank you, Mr. P.S. Sorry, not for me. It is a balance of opposites much like the philosophy behind many Indian dishes. Ok, so I've tried this on a couple times at the store now and I can say that I only enjoy the this after it has sat on the skin for at least 15 minutes. It turns into bond 9 Chinatown on me. Even the dark red staining color is the same. My first thought was "this smells like tortillas!". Sharply medicinal top note, slowly fades into rich flowers but with a postage stamp overtone. I wanted tuberose and all I'm getting is chestnut. It's unfortunate that this didn't do well because I think it was intended as the more affordable summer fragrance from TF vs. paying $200 + for a Soleil Blanc or Eau de Soleil Blanc. I don't mind the opening because the drydown smells so yummy. I love it. I was wrong. I rushed to Sephora to buy the last 100ml bottle i could find. I love the way it lasts on my clothes and I cant stop sniffing them. This perfume is super confusing! Lasts all night and day. . I'm not crazy about the heady floral notesthey are a little overwhelming for me. At other times it's old and cloying and makes me uncomfortable. You either love this or you hate it. I could smell it through the box it got delivered in (which had other fragrances in it). This juice is searingly beautiful and is currently one of my wife's favorite dumb reaches in her collection. I love it but as I've gotten older and matured I've lost my obsession with it. It smells like tuberose, yes, but not the green or 80s or bloom one. Fantastic for the summer. Wear it if you want to smell like you spent a day in a hot stuffy kitchen making corn tortillas, spilled gasoline on yourself, then tried to cover it with a tuberose perfume. This scent is the closest to a real gardenia that I have found so far. I really really dislike 'beachy' scents - no coconut, no salt, nothing like that! Fascinating scent, to say the least. My only complaint is that I wish it lasted longer. (Haven't smelt it). This is a glorious, voluptuous fragrance! White floral dominant scents don't always agree with my nose and I often feel fatigued wearing them but this very easy to wear. Some of the reviews are hilarious! easy breezy, not literally smelling like a beach. Totally different to BO edp or BO parfum. Beautiful white florals and tuberose with a touch of chestnut, has a similar vibe to Aerin's hibiscus palm but while that is more sweet and coconutty, this one is more bitter and dusty. It is tamed down only to give body to the gorgeousness of the base notes of hazelnut and whipped cream. white, creamy, velvety lilly +tuberose combo. That mentholated opening is just intoxicating, and I think the quality for the price is hard to beat in terms of what it does. But did I blind buy a decant of this? I was surprised to see such a lengthy list of notes in the pyramid because on me none of them came thru but that initial sugary tuberose. This is my third review of this perfume. Very feminine, sexy even, but still very, very classy. I hear it's been discontinued which really makes me angry. Florals are not my favourite type of fragrances but I really like this one. Just like Black Orchid, it opens with a smack in the face - on this one it is Cypress and Pink Pepper, but - but it settles down into this creamy, nutty, floral yumminess. The extended dry down is the best and smoothest white floral I've tried, but is only a skin scent. So it isn't just me!! I can't stop sniffing my wrists. It has a very tropical and beachy feel to it. I sprayed some on my wrist at a duty free shop today and I could not discern what the note(s) in this. After a while it dries down to a delicious vanilla/whipped cream. I think that the lily is trying to kill me off. It has a lot of suntan lotion scent to it without being obviously so (like Bronze Goddess, for example). I am not capable to appreciate this.

At first spritz I get knocked about with a HUGE lily and a cooler note that I think is the cypress and then more lily oh then more. I immediately liked the fragrance since it reminded me of gardenias, which I love, but at that time of year I could not imagine myself wearing that scent rather than smell this fragrance on someone else. Smells like sex in a library with grand aged wood shelves, filled with white flowers. I swear Tom Ford can do no wrong with this Orchid line. Recently i discovered that many perfumes I am not fond of has tuberose and as soon as I got home I came to check whats in it, and there is is: tuberose.

Orchid Soleil is a thick, creamy, fruity, floral, vanillic tropical fragrance. Salty yet sweet. I love coming back to read new comments. It's no longer on the Tom Ford website, and in my experience once a perfume is taken off the brand's site--it's a goner. Be careful - it's easy to spray too much.

This was such a huge disappointment for me being a fan of the Velvet Orchid, I just knew this was going to be spectacular judging by the bottle. Ok so ordered a sample . LOVE IT! A little goes a long way. Im sure there are other stuff in this perfume I dont like cuz it really makes sick. I thought maybe I was crazy until I heard a girl at Sephora one time say she thought it smelled like taco chips. That being said I do really enjoy this fragrance. Headache inducing lilies, creamy hints of tuberose. For those asking this has definitely been discontinued. Stuff like Carnal Flower, Soleil Blanc, Frank Boclet Cocaine, the Bronze Goddess line, Versace Dark Crystal, D&G Light Blue Intense, etc. Stunning, better version of Bronze Goddess. I get the corn tortilla vibe in addition to a herbal, medicinal scent first, give it like 5 minutes and then the magic comes out. I thought it was a very strange smell, until it dries down. Geez sounds terrible but its actually delightful. The corn scent does not last on me more than the first 15 minutes or so.

The indolic fleshy tuberose balanced by a sweet and salty creaminess, evoking lustful images of salt on skin, and suntan lotion that I cannot get enough of . Definitely not for me. I needed to get this before it disappeared forever! On dry cold skin and on paper it does have a "tortilla" or grain note, but when warmed it becomes fleshy and sweet. Tuberose in this edition is very appealing to me. I am not a huge fan of tom Fords Orchid line, in fact this is the only one that worked on me at all. My husband got the corn tortilla vibe from it. I've sprayed it on other's skin and the tortilla, and even mothball, notes dominate. Looks like I'm not the only one. And when Orchid Soleil was first announced, I was so excited. Its nothing like a black or velvet orchid which I also love but this one so so subtle and so soft. Warm yet fresh. Straight gasoline in the opening which seems to last FOREVER by the way.
