Black Orchid Parfum is a dark floral with a sweet, edible side and a woody floor, released by Tom Ford in 2020 as a Parfum concentration. Most people describe it as floral first, and about half also call it gourmand or woody. It is worn by anyone.

It opens with truffle and plum, an earthy, almost savoury sweetness rather than a bright fruit note. The heart brings rum, ylang-ylang and black orchid, so the floral core is heady and warm rather than fresh, with a boozy edge. Patchouli in the base keeps it dark and earthy to the end.

Wearers report it lasting a long time, and a good share call it near permanent on skin; the projection is strong, sometimes enormous, so a little goes a long way. It is voted mainly for winter and autumn, and overwhelmingly for the night, which points to evenings out and cold-weather occasions rather than the office or a summer afternoon.
