Tom Ford Orchid Soleil is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Sonia Constant. Orchid Soleil opens with Bitter Orange, Cypress, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Tuberose and Lily, and dries down to a base of Chestnut, Cream, Patchouli, and Orchid. Tom Ford's Orchid Soleil carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

Divisive and discontinued, Orchid Soleil is a love-it-or-hate-it scent. Expect a battle on your skin: some get creamy, intoxicating florals, others get unwearable tortilla chips and medicinal notes. Definitely not a blind buy.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Orchid Soleil opens with an unexpected, sharp blend of cypress and bitter orange, quickly joined by a kick of pink pepper. The heart unfurls into a rich, heady bouquet of tuberose and lily, a thick white floral punch. This intense florality then mellows into a surprisingly gourmand base, showcasing creamy vanilla, nutty chestnut, and a whisper of patchouli, all underpinned by the signature orchid nuance.
