Since this perfume did not specify any notes, I tried to figure out which direction it goes. By now, I am sure that the scent leans towards the Black Orchid Parfum DNA. What I initially associated with grassy freshness likely represents the interplay of truffle, ylang-ylang, and bitter citrus notes. The fruity and sweet aspects seem to come from the plum and rum-soaked orchids. All four fragrances "Dracula L'Elixir | Le Parfumoir de Grasse Lynne de R. / Guy Bouchara", Black Orchid (2023) Eau de Toilette, Black Orchid Eau de Parfum, and Black Orchid Parfum are very similar in the first 15 minutes. From minute 15 to 60, the EdT and EdP drift away from the parfum and from Dracula. The parfum develops a note from hour one that differentiates it from Dracula, while the EdT and EdP move closer to Dracula again. By hour 3, all four are very close to each other again. But now to the base, which also seems to consist of patchouli in Dracula but is accompanied by a wood note. The house states in the brochure that wood is included. This seems to sporadically break out from the DNA like a disruptive note. While the three Tom Fords remain relatively monotonous from hour three, Dracula develops this biting woodiness and completely shifts themes from hour 8 to 12. The patchouli and wood take over here, and one feels like they are wearing a completely different scent that has little in common with the Black Orchid DNA. The performance of the fragrance is very good and is rather on par with the parfum version of Tom Ford.
