Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Orchid Parfum
Black Orchid Parfum is a dark, intoxicating statement scent that commands attention with its lush truffle, plum, and chocolate facets over a spicy floral heart and opulent base. Not for the faint of heart.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Orchid Noir EDP
Compiled from the house's own product notes: a clear nod to Tom Ford's Black Orchid - plum and truffle open into a black-orchid-ylang-ylang-rum heart, resting on patchouli, a minimalist but faithful take on the dark, luxurious original.
