Androgynous sweet cucumber

Black Orchid EDP has been titled "cucumber chocolate" by renown perfume critic Luca Turin, and it is so match. Not very far from the original version which is a nighty fragrance, the EDT flanker stays nigh with less chocolate of form sweetness that makes it capable for daytime. This sweet creamy air comes from the note he once used in For Man Extreme; tuber; to get the same fungal effect, and, honestly, the result is much better than EDP version. Nevertheless, Ford could not or would not get rid of that cucumber layer that blatantly dances in the opening till the heart layer. The EDP version is used by men as much as by women, that, to be straight, for me it is like men with 6.2ft height and 12 shoe size wearing pantyhose!! Black Orchid, both EDP and EDT, have strong level of carnality, nevertheless, at the same time both have kind of immaturity. A kind of oxymoron feature behind punchy insisting sexiness and incognito presence of character. Never mind, who cares! What is good is good and it sells so.

Black Orchid EDT

This review is on the edt version of the original Black Orchid. Normally marketed to women, this has gained some popularity with men as well. How unisex is this version? Please watch for more.

More concise & approachable take on Black Orchid.

After a long drive to Neiman Marcus for Creed-related purposes, I nearly walked right past this beauty, sitting in a sad, dark, lonely corner. I'm glad I caught it out of the corner of my eye and ran over, "Ohh! The Eau de Toilette!" I became school-girl giddy at the opportunity to try this one, but sadly I had dozens of Creeds all up and down my forearms.. So, I only got to smell it on the card.

First, so you know where my perspective is coming from - Black Orchid EDP is probably my absolute favorite. Though, admittedly, it's a once in a while, special occasion kind of fragrance. (It's more of a secret weapon!) Black Orchid gives you that just-fallen-hard-in-love stomach ache that sends your head swirling in a way you feel like you can't control. But wait a sec, I'm here to comment on the Eau de Toilette!

The EDT smells, to me, almost exactly like the Parfum, just without that swirly, weak-in-the-knees witchcraft element. Oh, it's still plenty sly, seductive, and likewise gives you that tingly sensation after smelling it, but overall it's much more concise, approachable, and makes less of a fuss about itself. If you like Black Orchid, but don't feel up to making the statement it requires, EDT would be the perfect fit. It's a bit softer, with a little less smoke and a little more fruit, and altogether less polarizing. It's also more of a feminine take on Black Orchid, whereas the EDP seems rather unisex to me.

All in all, if you dig the EDP, you'll almost certainly dig the EDT. They're both otherworldly lovely and unique.

So classy...

Black Orchid Eau de Toilette is Tom Ford's third opus to the glory of the orchid.
After Velvet Orchid and Black Orchid, two fragrances available in eau de parfum of rare intensity, Tom Ford softens his interpretation of the orchid with this new fragrance in an eau de toilette version.
This Black Orchid is nonetheless original with its magical and mystical notes of black truffles and ylang-ylang accompanied by fresh bergamot and succulent blackcurrant.
But this fragrance blossoms on a powerful festival of irresistible and bewitching black orchid notes.
The base notes with consonances of chocolate and vanilla bring the gourmet and voluptuous sweetness of Tom Ford perfumes.
As an absolute fan of the brand, i really appreciate the powerful side, the bitter smokiness of the dark chocolate and the somewhat "musty" tone.
This eau de toilette is always dark and daring, without being heady.
It's quite sexy, exotic, creamy, sensual, voluptuous, a bit provocative...
A very enveloping fragrance, quite similar to the eau de parfum, although somewhat different, with some attenuated notes.
Perfect fragrance for a chic restaurant outing.
The composition is worthy of a voluptuous cocktail !!
Top notes are black truffle, ylang-ylang, bergamot, blackcurrant.
The heart notes of black orchid, tuberose and fruity notes follow.
To finish in base note with Lotus, patchouli, vetiver, sandalwood, vanilla, chocolate and incense.
This mix is not disgusting and does not give that feeling of being "suffocated".
For me it's a mixed scent.
To give you an idea, this fragrance reminds me of fresh truffles, and a bit as if flower petals were melted in dark chocolate... A real treat.
It is a rather easy perfume to wear, but certainly not a perfume for young beginners.
However, do not have the hand too heavy when spraying...
The bottle is beautiful, thin, matte black with pretty curves.
Surrounded by a small black TF "collar" enhanced with inverted golden writing on a black plate.
Everything remains in the image of its elixir, the aptly named Black Orchid.
The longevity is exceptional, the sillage is powerful, even enormous, and this for many hours...
Conclusion: A classy fragrance, a safe bet in all circumstances.
Wear it with caution, but always with pride.
Thanks Mr Tom Ford.
My rating: 9/10

A great kind of B.O.

Crazy strong, how is this an edt?

Comes across as an edp or concentree, one spray and that was well enough.

I get that awesome, sophisticated, deep earthy aroma of truffle. Lasts forever, radiates dang far and the drydown is more masculine.

If you spray more than once and wear in tight quarters or work space then I wouldn't blame others for asking you to take the day off.

This is definitely for cooler weather and more formal events, certainly not for going to a pub and watching a match.
