Black Orchid
Tom Ford's Black Orchid Eau de Parfum is a dark, richly sweet fragrance built around a floral heart and an earthy, woody foundation. Launched in 2020, it comes in a 100ml bottle.
The opening carries a fruity brightness, with plum giving a juicy, slightly tart edge before the scent moves into its heart. Here a yellow floral character develops, with gardenia, ylang-ylang and jasmine lending a creamy, heady richness. Warm spice and a faintly animalic depth add an intriguing undertone, so the fragrance feels more enveloping than airy.
As it settles, patchouli and a dry woody base give the composition its sense of depth and mystery. The sweetness and earthy character keep it warm and rounded rather than sharp, and the overall impression is one of opulence and quiet intensity.
Wear is where this fragrance makes its strongest case. It tends to carry strongly, so a small amount goes a long way, and it generally lasts well into an evening. That makes it a natural choice for a night out, though its woody and sweet elements also suit professional settings and casual days across every season.
Designed for women, it suits a confident and polished personality. Reach for it when you want a scent that makes an impression without becoming loud.
