Blossom Perfumery 402 Black Orchid is an Eau de Parfum. 402 Black Orchid opens with Truffle, Ylang-Ylang, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Spicy Notes, Jasmine, and Orchid, and dries down to a base of Dark Chocolate, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Blossom Perfumery's 402 Black Orchid carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

No. 402 chases Tom Ford's Black Orchid dark-gourmand-floral signature - blackcurrant, truffle and a patchouli-chocolate base - but the truffle is faint and the overall composition sits lighter and sweeter, missing the original's dense, smoky opulence and long evening throw.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

No. 402 opens with a dark blackcurrant-truffle accord alongside ylang-ylang, reaching for the same mysterious, intense opening that made Tom Ford's Black Orchid iconic, though the truffle here is subtle rather than the original's more pronounced, almost fungal richness. The heart brings orchid, jasmine and spice together, staying close to the source, but the smoky sophistication of the original's floral core is softened into something brighter and more straightforwardly sweet. The base of patchouli, vanilla, vetiver, sandalwood and dark chocolate captures the gourmand-woody idea well, yet without the original's full density it reads as a lighter, sweeter dessert-like finish rather than the smouldering, incense-tinged opulence Black Orchid is known for. Projection is moderate and the scent settles closer to the skin sooner than the original's room-filling presence, but it's a recognisable, affordable way into the dark-floral-gourmand family.
