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.
