Black Orchid
Black Orchid by Tom Ford plays with sweet, dessert-like accents and a soft, rounded richness. Blackcurrant, Ylang-Ylang and bergamot in the opening; orchid, spices and gardenia at the heart; patchouli, vanilla and incense in the base. With strong sillage and 9–12 h longevity, it shines best in the evening and in winter. Cosy and enveloping, like a soft embrace.
