Description

Tom Ford's Taormina Orange is a vibrant new addition to the Private Blend collection, launching in 2026, that aims to transport you straight to the sun-drenched Sicilian coast. This fragrance opens with a lively burst of tart green mandarin, zesty lime, and juicy blood orange, sharpened by a cool hint of cardamom. As it develops, the scent deepens into a rich citrus-floral heart, where orange blossom and bitter orange mingle with other delicate floral notes. The dry down settles into an earthy, woody embrace of patchouli and oakmoss, softened by a subtle, skin-like musk, evoking the warmth of Mediterranean sun on skin. Perfumer: Anne Flipo

Anne Flipo

Anne Flipo grew up far from Grasse, in a wonderfully flowery garden in northern France. Hypersensitive to the world around her, insatiably curious and driven by an immense thirst for freedom, she chose perfumery to express the many facets of her creativity. From l’Artisan Parfumeur to Jo Malone, from Rabanne (Lady Million, Invictus) to Lancôme (La Vie est Belle), via Yves Saint Laurent’s Libre, her career is marked by immense success. Mesmerized by the scent of orange blossom during a stroll in a friend’s garden during her teenage years, Anne Flipo has never ceased to make this small white bud a common thread in her work.
