Noire Labellum II

Noire Labellum II targets Tom Ford Black Orchid Parfum, the warmer and fruitier sibling of the original. It opens with earthy black truffle and juicy plum before the heart blooms into creamy ylang-ylang and the signature dark black orchid. The base goes deep and plush with patchouli, vanilla, dark chocolate and amber for a sweet, resinous drydown that feels richer and more gourmand than the standard Black Orchid. Perfume Parlour's version captures that decadent, seductive character, leaning generously sweet. Against the real parfum it reads simpler - the truffle savouriness is muted, the floral less layered, and projection more modest where the original is dense and long-throwing. Longevity is moderate. A lush, sensual budget dark-floral for cold-weather nights out.
