For instance, I personally preferred Sahara Noir to Amber Absolute, finding it better balanced and more refined, and I liked Black Orchid more than a number of the Private Blend Atelier d’Orient releases, not to mention Patchouli Absolu or Santal Blush. Something is definitely off here, both in terms of the individual notes and the overall quality of the scent, which is a little surprising because Tom Ford’s Signature fragrances don’t typically smell quite as cheap as this one does. Some of them can be almost as nice as the Private Blends, and occasionally can be either better or more interesting. Once in a while, the fragrance bears a strange chemical undertone that reminds me of bug spray, but I can’t figure out if it’s coming from the highly synthetic flowers, the woods, or both. Moments later, a dry, very scratchy cedar is added to the mix.

Both are imbued with a vanillic sweetness, then enveloped in the exact same warm, beachy, abstractly ambered, quasi-coconut and salty clean musk that constituted the “solar accord” in Soleil Blanc.

Orchid Soleil opens on my skin with a clean, watery, green-tinged, synthetic white floralcy that is half lily and half tuberose in scent.
