Tom Ford Black Orchid Eau de Parfum The fragrance that launched a legend. Black Orchid by Tom Ford is the iconic, darkly opulent oriental floral fragrance launched in 2006 and created by David Apel and Pierre Negrin — the fragrance that established Tom Ford as one of the most important voices in luxury perfumery and that remains, nearly two decades later, one of the most recognisable and beloved fragrances in the world. Rich, complex, and utterly unlike anything that came before it, Black Orchid opens with a breathtaking, almost overwhelming burst of truffle, gardenia, black currant, ylang-ylang, jasmine, bergamot, mandarin orange, and Amalfi lemon — dark, fruity, and immediately intoxicating. The heart is a lush, deeply sensual bouquet of orchid, spices, gardenia, fruity notes, ylang-ylang, jasmine, and lotus — the orchid accord at its centre giving the fragrance its name and its most distinctive, most seductive character. The dry-down is where Black Orchid achieves its full, magnificent power: Mexican chocolate, patchouli, vanilla, incense, amber, sandalwood, vetiver, and white musk — eight base notes of extraordinary richness and complexity — creating a warm, dark, resinous depth that lingers on the skin for hours with the quiet, irresistible authority of a true classic.
