Black Orchid Tom Ford 2006 Eau de Parfum

A co-worker wore Black Orchid to the office one day. But only once. After that, she never dared wear it again. How tragic.

Even in the hallway, I noticed the unusual, dark resinous note.

"Damn, someone's wearing Black Afgano here, isn't he?" it blurted out loudly in my affectation. Then I poked my head into the 'causative' office.
I was so paralyzed that I ungallantly asked "Is that you? "
I grobholz.
"What are you wearing?"
The poor girl turned bright red.
Just stuttered "I guess that's my perfume"
"is that Black Afgano?"
"Uh, no. It's called... sort of...Black Orchid!"

I can still smell it today, 8 months later, when I drop by occasionally. Dark, resinous, floral gourmand.... I'm sure it's just the association with the black haired young woman. But this scent was impressive.... As was the very pretty young lady! She first symbolized to me the sweetness, the gormandizing of the whole situation.

And I was on the wrong Black Afgano scent. What a faux pas. That too. Chunky AND full of shit!

Black Afgano on flowered truffles. That's what Black Orchid should really be called. O.K., Lord! Throw your brains out of the sky...
