Tom Ford

Taormina Orange EDP

2026

Sicilian market at 8am — blood orange, sea breeze, and zero excuses.

Taormina Orange
citrus
white floral
warm spicy

A 2026 Tom Ford launch in the Soleil/Sole di Positano line — Anne Flipo's orange-and-cardamom composition, a summer-tuned take on the brand's bright-citrus territory. Blood orange and cardamom at the top, an orange blossom heart, settling on an oakmoss drydown. A summer daytime fragrance.

The take

What works

  • Blood orange-bitter orange combination is bracingly vivid
  • Cardamom adds just enough spice to keep it from being one-dimensional
  • Unisex without being gender-neutral bland

Trade-offs

  • Longevity is modest for a TF Private Blend price
  • Oakmoss-patchouli base is safe territory for TF
