Which Should You Buy?
Velvet Orchid by Tom Ford is widely celebrated as Black Orchid's more approachable, floral, and boozy sister. It's a luxurious, deep, and sensual scent that evokes a certain 'rich auntie' vibe, though it can polarise with its strong powdery and occasionally sharp floral notes.
387 recreates Velvet Orchid's honeyed rum-and-orchid richness, though the suede-myrrh base is noticeably lighter than Tom Ford's opulent original.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its potent projection and rich, deep character make it less suitable for the office, where it might overwhelm. It excels as a date night and formal fragrance, with many reviewers highlighting its sexy and elegant qualities for special evenings. While too bold for sport, it can be dressed down for casual evening wear if applied sparingly.
Seasons
The honeyed, resinous amber base is a rich cold-weather signature.
Occasions
The dramatic, opulent floral-oriental suits formal occasions and evenings out.
