Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Orchid Reserve Parfum

Tom Ford's Black Orchid Reserve is a divisive beast: some hail it as a smoother, more refined take on the original, while others find its amped-up florals and earthy elements a repulsive misstep. Expect strong opinions and a love-it-or-hate-it reaction.

Our Verdict - No 60 Black Orchid Extrait

No 60 gets Tom Ford Black Orchid's truffle-chocolate gourmand core right at the opening, but the patchouli-incense base is lighter here, so it never builds the same dark, smoky opulence that made the original iconic.

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

This powerful, long-lasting scent with huge projection is far too dominant for an office setting. Its rich, sensual nature makes it perfect for dates and evening events, while being too heavy for casual wear or sport.
