Reserve Collection: Velvet Gardenia

Tom Ford Reserve Collection: Velvet Gardenia is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019. Reserve Collection: Velvet Gardenia opens with Orange and Gardenia, settles into a heart of Rose, Honey, Tuberose, and Lily Of The Valley, and dries down to a base of Labdanum and Incense. Tom Ford's Reserve Collection: Velvet Gardenia carries an Acquired verdict, a beeswax-led wear.

Tom Ford's Velvet Gardenia is a divisive beast: a masterpiece for some, a repulsive floral for others. It’s a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent, best suited for those who appreciate a rich, realistic white floral with an unusual depth.

About

Imagine a lush, humid gardenia blooming under a warm sun, its creamy petals kissed with the sweet stickiness of honey and beeswax. A hint of bright orange cuts through, preventing it from becoming too cloying, while a dark, smoky incense and labdanum base adds an unexpected, almost gothic twist. Tuberose and jasmine amplify the white floral heart, creating a scent that's opulent and slightly animalic.
