Black Orchid Eau de Toilette is Tom Ford's lighter, 2015 version of the dark floral, and it still leans rich: floral first, with sweet gourmand and woody sides close behind and a touch of amber and citrus.
It opens with blackcurrant and bergamot for a tart, fruity brightness, quickly joined by ylang-ylang and a truffle note that gives a strange, earthy, almost chocolate-like richness. The heart is heady: black orchid and tuberose are lush, creamy white flowers with a slightly narcotic quality, softened by fruity notes. The base is long and layered, with patchouli and vetiver bringing earth and smoke, incense a dry resinous haze, vanilla and sandalwood warmth and sweetness, and lotus a faint watery lift.
Most wearers find it long lasting, and projection is strong for nearly half. It is voted mainly for winter and autumn and overwhelmingly for night-time, which points to evenings, cold weather and anyone who wants a dramatic, dark floral rather than something fresh and light.
Black Orchid Eau de Toilette — unisex fragrance by Tom Ford (released 2015). Top notes: Truffle, Ylang-Ylang, Black Currant, Bergamot. Heart notes: Black Orchid, Tuberose, Fruity Notes. Base notes: Patchouli, Incense, Sandalwood, Vanilla, Vetiver, Lotus. — Parfica open fragrance database
