Fragrance Notes
Black Orchid
Tom Ford Black Orchid Parfum is earthy before it is floral. Black truffle gives it a damp, almost savoury weight, patchouli carries that dark soil quality through the whole scent, and plum and rum add a boozy fruit sweetness over it. Ylang ylang and black orchid supply the floral part, fleshy and yellow rather than fresh. The result is dark and thick, sweet and dirty in equal measure.
Black truffle, ylang ylang, black orchid, plum, rum and patchouli are the whole of the composition, and they stay bound together from first spray to last. The earthy and woody accords set the character, the fruity and rum facets sweeten it, and a faint animalic edge keeps it from reading polite. The truffle is the unusual material here and the one that gives the composition its damp, mushroomy undertow.
Tom Ford Black Orchid Parfum arrived in 2020. Tom Ford founded his label in April 2005 after leaving Gucci, and the house is headquartered in New York.
It is long lasting with strong projection. Autumn and winter are its natural seasons and it still works in spring and summer, and while it is wearable casually and at work it is at its most convincing on a night out. Cold weather suits the density of it.
