Switching to a summer fragrance involves a lot of thought, scent-drenched tester strips and countless visits to perfume counters. But instead of buying the “summer” version of well-established fragrance, why not try a hair perfume instead? Tom Ford’s Black Orchid Luminous Hair Perfume contains the same basic earthy notes of patchouli, vanilla, molten amber, sandalwood, and orchid, of course, as well as spicy floral hints of jasmine, black gardenia, and ylang ylang. With just a spritz or two, this “oriental chypre” will cling to your strands, giving it a musky-yet-sweet aroma that will last throughout the day. Plus, the formula promises to leave hair soft and shiny, so you don’t have to us a lot of other hair products. In signature Tom Ford-style, the retro-looking gold bottle belies a glamorous sex appeal found in most all of Ford’s fashion and beauty endeavors. So hair tossers, beware: you think you’ve picked a simple scent, but you might have actually opened the door to a sizzling summer full of possibilities.
