Tom Ford Black Orchid Eau de Parfum 50ml Spray

Tom Ford Black Orchid Eau de Parfum 50ml is one of the most iconic women's fragrances of the past two decades — composed in 2006 by David Apel and Pierre Negrin as Tom Ford's debut signature perfume. A richly oriental-chypre composition built around an unusual black truffle and orchid signature, it opens with truffle, gardenia, blackcurrant, ylang-ylang, jasmine, bergamot, mandarin and Amalfi lemon, develops through a heart of orchid, spices, gardenia and lotus, and settles onto a deep base of Mexican chocolate, patchouli, vanilla, incense, amber, sandalwood, vetiver and white musk. Inducted into the Fragrance Foundation Hall of Fame in 2022.

Who it's for

Black Orchid suits women (and many men) who like rich, sensual oriental-chypre fragrances over fresh-aquatic compositions — those drawn to truffle, dark chocolate and orchid. It is at its best in autumn and winter, ideal for evenings, dinners and statement-making occasions.

How to use

1. Hold the iconic black bottle around 15 cm from the skin.
2. Spray onto pulse points — wrists, neck, behind the ears.
3. One to two sprays — Black Orchid is known for strong sillage and longevity.
4. For longer trail in cool weather, mist a small amount across the hair before stepping out.
