The Ultimate Unisex Fragrance

I was never a big Tom Ford fan. Never liked Black Orchid but it grown on me heavily. Matter of fact Ive been obsessed with it for quite a while now. Personally this fragrance could be worn all year long and to any occasion. Intoxicating, elegant, sexy. Absolutely unisex

The plum heavy opening is amazing with the various spices and chocolaty patchouli later dominating the scent. Lasts all day long and projects very well. But obviously not everyone will like it, like me back in the day. It’s an absolutely stunning and unique fragrance that’s worth the hype and i believe it’s a must try. It’s a modern classic at this point even tho it got reformulated.

I am a cave flower.

Background: Perfumos send me samples, I then test the perfumes sent without any knowledge and describe my response - that of an inexperienced dilettante.

Musty and musty, I emerge from my stalactite cave and conquer the nose that sucks me in with dark florality. Not really a floral note, but rather an obvious chemical replica in the dark, heavy version. When I then draw attention to myself with my penetrance, I can see how cramped the way I am treated seems to be. Wrinkles on my face, half-closed eyes and a futile attempt to decipher me. Something sweetly resinous softens the first encounter, even if I stick to it: it's complicated with me, even if my woodiness doesn't remain rigid, but supple. If I could manifest myself in human form, I would be over 60, female and would enjoy making life difficult for others. A black widow, so to speak.
When a 5-year-old smells me now, I don't meet with much approval. There are shouts of abuse that are better not published due to the censorship of this forum. Otherwise I'll be back in the crypt!

The colorful orchid

I had the rare opportunity to test a version of Tom Ford's classic on each of the last three days, namely Black Orchid (2023) Eau de Toilette , Black Orchid Eau de Parfum and Black Orchid Parfum . I will try to explain which version might be the best for you in the following reviews.

Even if one could easily assume that only the fragrance oil concentration is different and that the fragrances do not otherwise differ from each other, both the list of ingredients and the real test show that each version stages the orchid differently.

in my opinion, Black Orchid (2023) Eau de Toilette is the most expressive and loudest fragrance of all the versions. In the opening, there is an enormous sweetness, which almost goes in a chewing gum direction but fades out relatively quickly and then merges into the fruity-floral middle part of the fragrance. Later on, the orchid fragrance becomes increasingly creamy until it fades away completely. I have the feeling that this version of the fragrance might appeal more to younger women because it is floral/fruity/sweet, almost playful in comparison to the darker EdP or gourmand perfume. But the fact is, and this is well known with Black Orchid, although it is a declared women's fragrance, men also like to use it. Specifically named in numbers: Of the 61 users on Parfumo, 52 percent are female and a whopping 48 percent are male. That's a huge proportion for a women's fragrance and underlines its unisex suitability, although I would describe this version as the most "feminine" of all.

The performance is also commendable for an EdT and lasts longer than four hours with four sprays. EdP and perfume perform a little better but hats off nonetheless.

The bottle is beautiful and has its own style, as it is part of the Signature range. Why they decided to keep the bottle entirely in black without any color accents is questionable for me, because the fragrance is the most colorful and playful of all versions and by no means so dark.

You can't complain about the price either, as I found 100 ml on the Internet for around 100 euros. Almost a bargain for a Tom Ford fragrance.

In fact, I would give my highest recommendation for the EdT version, because the fragrance is relatively inexpensive, enormously expressive in its individual phases and performs really well.
