Black Orchid was created by perfume creators of fragrance company Givaudan in 2006. It was announced as oriental chypre. The top notes are French jasmine, black truffle, ylang-ylang, black currant and effervescent citrus. In the floral-spicy heart, dwells the Tom Ford's black orchid, imaginary more than real, and the base combines woodsy notes (patchouli and sandalwood), dark chocolate, incense, amber, vetiver, vanilla and balsam.
"Black Orchid is opulent, classically dark; its fragrance is in line with the best creations of the best perfume houses. Luxurious and sensual fragrance with rich dark trace of black orchid and spices, modern and timeless. " It remains to be said that Black Orchid is long lasting and with wide spread aura.
"This is not about an ordinary orchid, it's about something a little more strange and rare. I wanted the blackest orchid, and those aren't easy to find." The perfume is luxurious and the product range includes Eau de Parfum in 50ml (at US$90) and 100ml (at US$135) bottles, and limited edition of 5.000 15ml bottles of Parfum at US$600. The distribution is limited.

Disagree with Juliebean. Tom Ford -"Black Orchid" is wonderful. The best of best...

UGH.... not sure which version I tried but the top notes are horrendous. They literally turned my stomach. Maybe that was the black truffle.
But then the dry-down is much better. Smooth, slightly sweet, and a bit creamy.
I think this would make a great fall/winter scent. (if you can get past the horrid top notes!)

I can't get over the initial 'off-kilter' notes, since I don't like truffles, or fennel or other overly-aromatic food, not to mention other more indecent things people smell in this perfume.
But I surprisingly like what's left of it when the initial drama is over.
It's dark and sparkling, it has some mistery in it, and it's definitely exciting.
This is why I'm getting Voile de Fleur version, a safe choice for those who are too afraid to be provocative.

Ok Ladies...here's the lowdown on the Black Orchid. I tried it on at Saks and hated it initially. Then suddenly loved it. Then i sprayed the Black Orchid Foile de Fleur on top of the Black Orchid already on my skin. Absolutely beautiful scent. Men ask me all the time "What is that you are wearing". The two combined are awesome. I bought them both and that's how I wear them. I spray the BO then wait 5 minutes and spray the Voile de Fleur.

This was first time when I was little bit of afraid to test perfume. There's so much negative things said about BO, you either love it or really, really hate it (thigs like "The monster won't come of with soap!" and "It's smell like a mans *******" (pardon me)) are not words that make you confident, but they sure make BO very intresting.
So after encouraging my self, I did it.
And what I did have= Sweet, spicy tendernes with whole bunch of stawberries. No monsters, no unclean bodyparts. It's strong like hell, but good. And there's quite much of masculine feeling too, this maybe coud be weared with man too.

this fragrance is extremely sultry, and on my body chemistry it is sweet and sexy...Every time I wear it people ask me what I am wearing. this one is in my TKO list.

Hmm... the reviews and the write up for this perfume sounds very much like a "must have" fragrance for me. Next online shipment will include the Tom Ford Black Orchid sample. ;-)

"Ever been in one of these old Hollywood palazzos? That's from when they were making eighteen thousand a week, and no taxes."
Everytime I smell BO, it will remind me of these lines of film Sunset Boulevard. Black Orchid is just like the mansion that beyond our imagination, it's an echo of the faded glory which luxury perfume used to own. It's so different from nowadays perfumes which always pretend to be lovely but lack of characters.
If you're tied of those "lovely" heady floral notes, then try this deep sensual sexy creation!

Alright, I had a mix up! I confused this one with Black Orchid Voile de Fleur. This is the one I don't like, so consider my previous review the review for Voile de Fleur.

I smelled this today... wow. It's simply incredible. It's the strong, spicy, darkness in a fragrance I've been looking for! It's decadent, intense, and intriguing. Powerful at first spray. The most I got out of it was the incense, which was very prominent. Smoky. Warm. Perfect! Not for the faint of heart, though :p. It's almost to the point where it's masculine, but the floral middle notes hold it back and keep it feminine. This is a must have!

An amazing, velvety, heavenly fragrance. The best I have in my collection thus far and close to being my HG. I adore this fragrance and have nothing negative to say about it. A touch more incense would have made it beyond perfect. I hope to never be without a bottle of Black Orchid.
