Tom Ford Black Orchid Eau de Parfum

As someone who is quiet and shy, I've always gone with lighter scents. I didn't want anything bold. As other reviewers have said this perfume requires confidence to wear. Black Orchid haunted me for weeks before I caved & told myself that I'd FIND the confidence to wear it. But the thing is, wearing it is what gave me the confidence! The scent is rich & deep, calming yet exciting. I bought my bottle 2 yrs ago? I'm still obsessed. I hope this scent stays forever because I will be lost without it.

Alluring sex appeal

Absolutely alluring, sexy, mysterious, has depth, not for the faint of heart. My everyday go to, you gotta have attitude to wear this gem, packs a punch, only few can carry.

Subtle like a brick to the face.

This is the only perfume I’ve ever worn that has garnered complaints from a friend. I tried. I tried to like it. I went so easy with it and it was still overwhelming. I had to go to the restroom and try to wash it off halfway through brunch. Just foul. Like you’ve bathed in strong men’s cologne. I gave it to my son, who gave it to someone at college. It’s probably still dorm surfing around Ohio.

Confidence is a must!

This has been my signature scent for years in the fall and winter months. It’s strong, but lasts all day and into the night. You really need to have the confidence to pull this off because it WILL get noticed. Think of a woman dressed in a tailored suit and fine heels walking into a boardroom to tell a group of men how to do their jobs. Or perhaps a stunningly beautiful woman that is at a glamourous party as she effortlessly draws the attention of all eyes on her. It’s that type of powerful scent. Definitely not every personality can pull it off, but if it’s what you’re looking for definitely give it a try.

A Favorite Scent

I found Black Orchid to replace another beloved perfume that is no longer available. While it isn't a match (which I initially sought), the ingredients work well for me and nicely evolve and last. It is now a favorite scent for me.

From the House of Tom Ford, one of his very best.

First and foremost this was Tom Ford's very first fragrance, and seriously one of his very best. Yes, the fragrance is unisex. (Personally, I prefer the EDP versus the parfum, but I have both). I own many scents from the House of Tom Ford, but hands down this is my very favorite.

Surprised I love it

I got this in a sample box with a variety of perfumes for Christmas. I usually enjoy super sweet perfumes, but this one is the total opposite of what I usually would go for. I think this could be considered unisex.

Beautiful smell

Very sweet, woody smell. Amazingly sexy, just sad it doesn’t last very long on my skin but does cling to clothes and it smells gorgeous when dried. It’s very strong in the bottle and almost off putting until you wear it

Absolutely Perfect!!!

The absolute sexiest smell ever. Just needs a matching body wash and lotion. I'd never buy a different brand again if it had everything. Tom Ford make a full gift set... Fragrance, body wash, lotion, all of it please 🙏.

My best fragrance!!!

I love love love this scent. It smells very clean, warm and somehow mysterious to me. This works well with my body chemistry and am able to smell this throughout the day. I actually smell it on my clothes for much longer. I’d definitely try the tester or the small spray before committing.

My daily scent!

Merry Christmas to me, gift. My go to daily scent. Love every Tom Ford scent tried to date, but keep coming back to this one!

Very special fragrance

Love this scent. It’s complex and interesting. Not something I could wear every day, but I think it’s perfect for evenings or special occasions when you want to feel extra sexy. And the scent lasted all day & night on me.
