Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rio EDP

A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Tom Ford Black Orchid (2006) - truffle, orchid and patchouli translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

Favourite

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.

Black Orchid Reserve

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.
