Mysterious and sensual, the first fragrance from Tom Ford
History
‘I intend to create the first true luxury brand of the 21st century,’ says Tom Ford, who has just launched Black Orchid, his first perfume under his own name. For the designer, the black orchid – a rare, hybrid bloom – has the most desirable fragrance of all. Voluptuously garbed in notes of truffle, incense and dark chocolate, it comes in a luxuriously dark, pure bottle.
Range
Eau de Parfum 1.7 and 3.4 fl. oz.; Perfume 1 oz. in a Lalique crystal bottle.
Bottle
A classic yet contemporary jet-black bottle. Finely fluted, it is adorned with a golden plaque bearing the designer’s monogram.

If you feel that Black Orchid is too masculine, Tom Ford has created Velvet Orchid which is much more feminine.

Bonjour ECKBO7, you are correct. This is a very strong perfume. Like BASTIA comments "either you love it or hate it."

Black Orchid is a recapitulation of the classic ‘retro’, old-style feral fragrances in both bottle design and scent, in that it smells human, intimate and like a human being rather than a confection or a landscape. It’s totally in the style of Tom Ford too, thanks to its modernist approach and its immediate attractiveness, while it doesn’t shy away from making an impact. High praise for a time when many fragrances in the mainstream are watered down and limp-wristed.
