The story behind the bottle.
Black Orchid Parfum by Tom Ford, launched in 2020, is an Oriental Floral fragrance that blends earthy and woody accords with sweet and fruity notes. The composition opens with the rich aroma of truffle and plum, before diving into the lush warmth of ylang-ylang and black orchid. Patchouli adds a grounding note to this complex blend, creating a scent that is both opulent and intimate.
Apply this fragrance in moderation — it has a strong presence that builds on skin over time. It pairs well with cool evenings, as the warmth of its base notes reads better when the air is slightly cooler.
