Which Should You Buy?
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.
Obsidian Orchid chases Tom Ford Black Orchid Reserve - the latest, richer flanker of the dark-floral icon, with truffle, orchid and a plush chocolate-tonka-vanilla base. The dupe captures the opulent gourmand-floral character but renders flatter and sweeter, with the truffle muted and projection closer to the skin than the dense original.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
The rich chocolate-orchid-tonka gourmand is firmly cold-weather and overwhelming in summer heat.
Occasions
A decadent, seductive dark-floral gourmand built for evenings and dates over daytime wear.
Similarity Breakdown
Our estimate of how alike these two fragrances smell, calculated from their published notes. It is a position on our scale, not a measured percentage of shared smell.
