A fragrance of mystery, decadence, and timeless allure, Black Orchid by Tom Ford is a bold Oriental Floral creation that has become an icon of modern perfumery. First launched in 2006 and composed by perfumers David Apel and Pierre Negrin, this scent celebrates the rare and the luxurious, evoking dark elegance and sultry sophistication in every note.
The journey begins with an opulent blend of truffle, gardenia, and black currant, laced with radiant ylang-ylang, jasmine, and citrus nuances of bergamot, mandarin orange, and Amalfi lemon. The heart unveils the exotic beauty of black orchid surrounded by spicy accords, luscious fruity notes, gardenia, jasmine, and the aquatic delicacy of lotus. Anchoring the composition is a sumptuous base of rich Mexican chocolate, smoky incense, patchouli, warm amber, vanilla, vetiver, white musk, and creamy sandalwood—an unforgettable dry-down that envelops the senses in velvet darkness.
Black Orchid is for the woman who dares to be unforgettable. Sensual, dramatic, and unapologetically luxurious, it’s a signature scent that lingers long after she’s gone.
