BLACK ORCHID by Tom Ford EAU DE PARFUM SPRAY 1.7 OZ

Smell extraordinary

I smelled this in a magazine a while ago and made a mental note of WOW I really like this. So I got a gift card from work and decided to splurge. I have to say I'm glad I didn't shell out my own cash. It's a wonderful, unique scent but unfortunately I don't like it ON my skin. Some perfumes are just like that; they just don't blend with you personally. I admit it's a totally personal thing. I wish it had been "softened" a bit with a mellow floral tone. The floral in this is a massive blast of pure orchid that is earthy, unfiltered, intense. I tend to like my florals gentler and delicious. Aside from that, it is mostly a spicy, musky scent which is usually not my cup of tea to wear. It's described as an Oriental Chypre, not Oriental Floral for a reason Still, if you like to wear something like Opium you will love this. I do like it--it's a very complex scent with many layers and it lasts all day. It's unique. I wouldn't call it beautiful rather overtly sexy. Five stars!

I can honestly say this perfume is pretty expensive and its the first perfume I have EVER bought at this high of a price , I wanted something special for my wedding day that's taking place next month. Well after MONTHS of waiting to even smell this perfume I couldn't wait any longer , I opened the package and was excited. I sprayed my chest and wrists with it and OMG it smells SO good , I have other perfumes like Vera Wang and Burberry but this one honestly beats them. Now I'm getting addicted to Tom Fords perfumes , If this one smells THIS good then I can only imagine how the others smell. My fiance REALLY liked it also on me , The only thing is it lasts for maybe an hour or so then the smell starts to go down a little . The smell is still there its just not as heavy as when you first spray it but all in all still worth every dime!.

I got it for my husband’s birthday and he loves it so much! I don’t know much about perfumes but this one is not intrusive at all, not too harsh not too strong it’s just fine. You won’t start coughing, it’s going to linger quietly in the air for a little bit when he leaves the room and then disappear:)

I bought this without ever smelling it or trying it. I had read that it was a top scent for the year and had also remembered a beauty recommendation being positive --- and I am so glad I tried it. It is a spicy scent that initially reminded me of Alien but it is it's own scent. I do like to reapply later in the evening as the scent does seem to fade some, but then just when I think I can't smell it, I get a hint of it from something that was sprayed earlier in the day or from the day before (like on my pillow). It is amazing.... love it, love it!

I had Soleil Blanc by Tom Ford and I loved that perfume. The black orchid is very strong and will stay for long. The scent is definitely not sweet or fruity type. It’s bold. It is a different type of perfume. If you like it , it may be addictive. I personally am not very fond of the scent.

GORGEOUS. I wanted this about a year ago, but since it was approximately $100, I decided to wait and see if I was willing to spend the money on it. Not one regret, haven't looked back. I have gotten so many compliments on this scent; it really is marvelous. It is sweet, woodsy, sensual, feminine, and exquisite. It is seductive and mysterious, and it lasts all day long. I am in love with this perfume, and it is now a member of my permanent collection.

I finally decided to splurge a bit and buy this perfume when I was stopped in the grocery store to be asked what is that perfume it smells wonderful. Box checked and order received.
