Tom Ford Black Orchid Eau de Parfum Spray 3.4 oz — Luxurious Floral-Oriental, Long-Lasting Sillage

Tom Ford Black Orchid Eau de Parfum is a rich, sensual floral-oriental perfume that blends black orchid, truffle, and warm woods for a long-lasting, glamorous scent.

Launched as Tom Ford's signature debut fragrance, Black Orchid was crafted to evoke timeless luxury and cinematic glamour. Its composition balances rare botanical notes with deep gourmand and resinous undertones, creating a statement perfume that develops on the skin over hours. The 3.4-ounce (100 ml) spray comes in a dark, elegant bottle designed to reflect the fragrance’s dramatic character.

What does Black Orchid smell like at first spritz?

On application, the scent opens with an intriguing blend of rich, slightly earthy truffle and bright citrus accents that cut through the darkness. Fruity nuances and floral touches quickly appear, giving the opening a lush, complex dimension before settling into deeper layers.

• Top notes: black truffle, bergamot, black currant, and ylang-ylang
• An initial impression that is bold, slightly fruity, and intriguingly savory
• Designed to make a noticeable, luxurious first statement

How does the fragrance evolve over time?

After the opening, the heart reveals the signature black orchid accord alongside soft floral and woody facets. The middle phase brings a fuller, velvety character that bridges the bright opening and the warm, long-lasting base notes.

• Heart notes: black orchid, lotus wood, and lush fruitiness
• Transition into richer, more textured floral and woody tones
• Creates depth and complexity that unfold across hours

What are the base notes and lasting impression?

The dry-down leans on gourmand and resinous elements—dark chocolate facets, earthy patchouli, smooth sandalwood and a whisper of incense give the scent a sensual, enduring finish. This base supports longevity and leaves a memorable trail without being purely sweet.

• Base notes: dark chocolate, incense, patchouli, sandalwood
• Warm, slightly gourmand finish with woody resonance
• Formulated for noticeable longevity and sillage

How is the bottle and packaging designed?

The 3.4 oz bottle uses a deep, nearly black glass and minimalist hardware that reflects Tom Ford’s refined aesthetic. Its weight and silhouette are intended to feel substantial on a dresser while remaining sleek and discreet in presentation.

• Chic dark bottle echoing the fragrance’s dramatic character
• Sturdy 100 ml spray format suitable for daily use or special occasions
• Packaging emphasizes luxury and shelf presence
