Black Orchid by Tom Ford Eau De Parfum For Women, 50 ml

Product Information

Besides the temperature limitation, I picture it as an accompaniment to a romantic but luxurious dinner date or even when going to the club or a bar where the party is at. It is a rich and sexy scent, it has a dark aura that would work best for night occasions, but some days, formal events would fit as well. The performance is something you have no reason to be worried about when it comes to this magnificent beast. Once you apply it in the morning, you don’t need to worry if the scent is going to fade away before dinner, because it won’t. On clean skin, spray once or twice on desired areas. Do not rub the fragrance on skin, as this can alterhow the fragrance develops.

Striking since its inception, this unisex fragrance continues to envelop all genders in a world of its own. I compared the two of them side by side (one tiny spritz on each wrist) earlier this morning, and it was immediately apparent that the Parfum was behaving better. It's rounder, creamier and more chocolatey, it wants to seduce you.ALCOHOL DENAT, FRAGRANCE (PARFUM), WATER/AQUA/EAU, BHT, LINALOOL, LIMONENE, CINNAMYL ALCOHOL, CITRONELLOL, COUMARIN, GERANIOL, EUGENOL, FARNESOL, BENZYL BENZOATE, HYDROXYCITRONELLAL, BENZYL SALICYLATE, BENZYL CINNAMATE, CITRAL, ISOEUGENOL, BENZYL ALCOHOL, CINNAMAL, ANISE ALCOHOL * I made the mistake of only smelling this on a tester strip before buying it. It smelled much earthier on paper versus the original eau de parfum version, but on my skin the two are extremely similar, the parfum not really earthier at all. The first spray gives you a fruity-floral and earthy mixture of several different notes that you cannot really detect individually. It is a strong and bold opening, very prominent and unique to the level we can call unconventional. All in all, even though I don't get a huge difference between the parfum and the EDP, I'm not terribly disappointed. Now I have about 200 ml instead of only 100 ml of a fragrance that's really enjoyable to my nose! 😊👍

Definitely an exclusively night-time scent, can't wait for clubs to reopen so I can wear this out, it has such a magnetic quality to it. The EDT is the brightest, freshest version of the scent. It’s better for spring or summer evenings. Out of the three this one has the best projection but the longevity is not as good - probably just 3-4 hours. I find this to be the most feminine leaning of the line although they are all perfectly unisex. Finally, for the next few hours I can detect a vanillic boozy note- it's not overpowering since the earthy chocolate and fruit are still there, but it adds a nice "come sniff me again and again" aspect to the fragrance.Enter the BO Parfum. First wow is for the bottle, shiny golden screaming for a Hollywood star vanity.

On my skin the Parfum is the smoothest, creamiest and sweetest version. ( it’s not a sweet fragrance but has a syrupy/boozy quality to it). I find it easier to wear day to day than the EDP. Longevity is good (8 hours) - better than the EDT, not as long wearing as the EDP. But it's a unique concoction and was very original at its launch date (it has been copied several times since then). When they say it projects and lasts they weren’t wrong! Needs a new scale that goes beyond enormous and eternal hahaha. In theory it should be too much, but it’s not, and this is a testament to just how beautifully this is put together. Even the weighty gold bottle conveys pure opulence and luxury when you hold it in your hand. The note of orchid doesn’t have a particular smell, so you won’t be able to detect it, it is a fantasy note that fragrance crafters tend to create from other, synthetical nuances.To make sure that you are buying an original batch, I want to share with you some major differences between original and fake batches, that will definitely save you money and frustration. I see why people are saying this smells very similar to the original. I have the drydown of the edp on one wrist and the drydown of the parfum on the other. They are, in fact, stress inducing-ly similar. Having said that, there are differences. I'm giving myself a headache continually sniffing both wrists, but sacrifices must be made for the fragrance-loving community.
