Perfume Parlour Obsidian Orchid is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025. Obsidian Orchid opens with Truffle and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Ylang-Ylang and Orchid, and dries down to a base of Dark Chocolate, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Perfume Parlour's Obsidian Orchid carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

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.

Scent Profile

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

Obsidian Orchid targets Tom Ford Black Orchid Reserve, a richer and more gourmand reading of the classic. It opens with a savoury black truffle and a bright bergamot lift before the heart unfurls into creamy ylang-ylang and the signature dark orchid. The base is where it goes plush - dark chocolate, patchouli, tonka and vanilla weave a deep, sweet, almost edible drydown. Perfume Parlour's version captures that decadent, seductive mood, leaning generously sweet and approachable. Against the real Reserve it reads simpler - the earthy truffle facet is softened, the floral less nuanced, and projection more modest where the original is dense and long-lasting. Longevity is moderate. A lush, sensual budget dark-floral gourmand for cold-weather evenings.
