    Real talk

    Sherwood refuses to be the fragrance you expect when you hear the name. The forest is there in the woody base, but the opening screams urban cool, and the heart is all modern florals.Sherwood
    Velvet Orchid walks the line between opulent and approachable. It is Black Orchid's softer sibling, designed for those who want the Tom Ford world without the full darkness.Velvet Orchid
