About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Black Orchid Parfum (2020) is Tom Ford's darker, denser reinterpretation of the original Black Orchid, built on an earthy, woody-sweet core. The opening pairs truffle and plum: a fungal, almost chocolate-like earthiness cut by juicy, slightly tart fruit. As it settles, rum and ylang-ylang emerge, adding boozy warmth and a creamy yellow-floral texture around the black orchid accord. The base leans heavily on patchouli and woody notes, giving the composition its lasting depth and a sweet, resinous trail. Collectors should note this is not a lighter flanker but a more concentrated, nocturnal take on the original. It suits those who enjoy earthy gourmands, patchouli-heavy orientals, and unisex scents with serious projection. Best for evening wear, cool weather, and anyone who finds the original Black Orchid too bright or too polite. If you want a plush, shadowy floral with a pronounced truffle-patchouli signature, this is the version to seek out.

中文簡介

Black Orchid Parfum(2020)係 Tom Ford 將原版 Black Orchid 推向更暗黑、更濃郁嘅變奏,以泥土、木質與甜香為核心。前調松露同李子帶出近似朱古力嘅土質感,同時有微酸果香;中調 Rum、依蘭依蘭同黑蘭花交織,散發酒香同奶油感黃花香;基調以廣藿香同木質為主,留香深沉,帶甜樹脂尾韻。呢支唔係輕盈版,而係更夜用、更集中嘅演繹。適合鍾意土質美食調、廣藿香主導東方調、以及追求強投射力嘅中性香迷。最啱夜晚、涼爽天氣,或者覺得原版太明亮嘅人。想要豐厚、帶陰影感嘅花香,兼且鍾意松露同廣藿香簽名式,呢支值得收藏。

Before you buy

A batch code cannot prove authenticity on its own, but it can expose contradictions — a code that decodes to a date before the fragrance existed, or a bottle and box that disagree.
