Tom Ford Black Orchid is a dark floral oriental fragrance for women. It launched in 2006 and is still in the line today. This is the 100ml bottle.
How It Smells
The opening is black truffle alongside ylang-ylang and bergamot, which is the brightest part of the wear and fades within the first half hour. Underneath, black orchid with lotus wood and gardenia carries the middle, and this is what most people will actually smell on you. What remains at the end of the day is patchouli over sandalwood and dark chocolate, closer to the skin and warmer than the opening suggested.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Tom Ford Black Orchid original?
Yes. Perfume Philippines has sold 100% original, imported fragrances online since 2012. Every bottle is fresh stock, and cash on delivery is available nationwide.
How long does Tom Ford Black Orchid last?
Very long, 8 hours plus. Spraying onto moisturised skin, and onto your shirt collar as well as your wrists, helps it hold longer in humid weather.
Is Black Orchid a good date night scent?
Yes. It has enough warmth and staying power for an evening out. Apply about 30 minutes before you leave so the opening notes have settled.
How does Black Orchid compare to Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium?
Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium is the closest comparison, the sweeter mainstream alternative. Black Orchid is built on a patchouli base with black truffle up top, so judge them on that: if you want the patchouli direction, this is the one. Both are stocked here when available, so you can compare prices directly.
