About

Black Orchid Parfum by Tom Ford is an ultra-rich, decadent reimagining of the iconic original. The opening unleashes a rush of black truffle and rum, leading into a narcotic heart of ylang-ylang and the elusive black orchid. Dense plum and dark chocolate melt into a base of smoldering patchouli, creamy vanilla, and resinous woods. The result is a dramatic, gothic floral gourmand that envelops the senses with hedonistic warmth and mystery, projecting confidence and sensuality in every drop.
