Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Orchid EDP
A legendary statement scent, Black Orchid is unapologetically bold and mysterious, blending truffle, dark florals, and chocolate into a lush, unforgettable aura. Not for the timid, it reigns supreme in fall and winter opulence.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Noire Labellum EDP
Noire Labellum chases Tom Ford Black Orchid - the same opulent dark-floral with truffle, black orchid, chocolate and patchouli. The dupe captures the seductive, gourmand-floral character but renders flatter and sweeter, with the savoury truffle facet muted and projection closer to the skin than the room-filling original.
