Black Orchid by Tom Ford
Launch Year: 2006
Perfumer: David Appel & Pierre Negrin
Concentration: Eau de Parfum
Fragrance Profile:
The debut fragrance of Tom Ford Beauty and one of the most iconic and influential launches in modern perfumery. Black Truffle, Ylang-Ylang, Black Currant, French Jasmine, Bergamot and Effervescent Citrus open with a dark, opulent and immediately arresting richness that is like nothing else in the designer world. Black Orchid, Black Violet, Gardenia, Jasmine, Lotus Wood and Spicy Notes build a deeply sensual and mysterious floral heart built around Tom Ford's imaginary black orchid accord. Patchouli, Sandalwood, Dark Chocolate, Incense, Amber, Vetiver, Vanilla and Balsam close with a warm, smoky and velvety oriental base that lingers powerfully for hours.
Performance:
Exceptional longevity and sillage — one of the strongest performers in the Tom Ford lineup. Projects confidently from application through a full dry-down of eight hours or more. A fragrance that commands a room without effort. One spray is sufficient.
Ideal For:
Autumn and winter, and evening occasions. A boldly unisex oriental floral for those who want something genuinely dark, luxurious and unforgettable — seductive, polarizing and impossible to ignore. A landmark fragrance that changed the direction of designer perfumery in 2006 and has never lost its relevance.
