Black Orchid

Tom Ford Black Orchid is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2015. The fragrance opens with Blackcurrant, Ylang-Ylang, Truffle, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Orchid, Tuberose, and Fruity, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Lotus, Sandalwood, and Patchouli.

Our verdict on Black Orchid: Acquired

Tom Ford Black Orchid EDT is a divisive classic - a love-it-or-hate-it scent. It's heralded by fans as a smoother, more wearable version of the EDP, but still embodies that signature dark mysterious allure. Not for everyone, but those who love it, really love it.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its strong projection and dark, complex accords make it less ideal for office wear, though some reviewers find it acceptable if lightly applied. It truly shines on dates and formal occasions where its sensual and sophisticated character can make a bold statement.

About

Opens with an earthy blast of truffle and blackcurrant, underpinned by the exotic sweetness of ylang-ylang. The heart unfolds into a rich floral bouquet of orchid and tuberose, with juicy fruit notes adding a touch of brightness. The dry down is a complex tapestry of woody vetiver, deep patchouli, creamy sandalwood, and a whisper of smoky incense and vanilla, leaving a lasting, intense trail.
