Description
Black Orchid Voile de Fleur follows eau de perfume Black Orchid. Dark, dense and creamy original with an exquisite note of black truffle, got its new floral, lighter version. The precursor is fatal and sexy, while Black Orchid Voile de Fleur is romantic, light and bubbly. It kept black truffle and the other top notes. The composition is reined by the white flowers: honeysuckle, gardenia and lily; but it also has its “black” side being a Tom Ford fragrance: black orchid, black plum and black pepper. Oriental notes are soft and sensuous: warm milk, cinnamon, vanilla, patchouli and sandalwood. It was designed by David Apel. Black Orchid Voile de Fleur was launched in 2007.
Occuplefreese – :
Another Tom Ford one spray wonder. Plummy incense with white flowers and spices. This honestly smells exactly like vintage Dior Poison but with that deep, dank truffle note that Black Orchid has. It is quite strong and old fashioned, I will need some time to decide if I love it or not. Good thing I have a 15ml sample that should keep me occupied for awhile!
Noittyboovish – :
This is beautiful, deep and dark orchid and sandalwood scent.
Stays on skin really long, i dont know this first Balck Orchid from TF. For winter its perfect.

I’ve always been fascinated by peppery flowers like carnation, nasturtium, and violet (taste). This takes gardenia and turns it into a peppery flower.
The opening is gardenia mixed with oriental lily and honeysuckle with a bit of a spiciness that could be from the ylang ylang since it sometimes seems spicy.
As it settles the gardenia becomes the star and the pepper note merges with it to make that peppery gardenia. The milk doesn’t really stand out to me, but I do get some of the vanilla orchid that is in Black Orchid.
To me this is mostly a spiced floral. And it stays floral for several hours. I don’t know that I will get to the drydown before bed tonight so I’m not going to be able to comment on that section of the phase, but it sounds facinating.
However after a few wearings the spiciness doesn’t stand out as much and the sandalwood and milk combo takes over in the drydown making a powdered milk note that I don’t love. I think in the end I prefer the original.
NOKIOAU – :
Well, it’s definitely a TF and definitely has BO DNA running through. However, this is more of a combo of BO + Orchid Soleil and some Noir. A very very beautiful combo.
Opening is extremely similar to BO EDT, but the dry down.. Oh wow.. Gentle milky floral, with some fruity undertones, jammy plum and cinnamon rolls. Soft, tender, sweet and elegant, yet subtle. Very wearable and feminine. Just so smooth and creamy.
Beautiful! Having said this, the longevity is not great on this, compared to other TFs.
spoudgedulp – :
I have this one ( which I believe is the second version brought out a year after the original black orchid )as well as the original version.
I’d say that this is very similar to the original at first , both are a heavy on gardenia. However BO has a lot of changes going gourmand from chocolate in the dry down, where as BOVF goes more creamy white florals where BO becomes more sweet. BOVF keeps the gardenia feel going through all the way where as the original has that note but it’s lost a bit amoung other strong notes. So to me this Version is a little less gourmand and has a more amped up floral summer feel.
BO runs through this Version as a template yet this does go off in a different direction this one totally keeps the vintage retro vibe .
If you like BO or Tom ford generally ,and can find this now harder to get Version it’s worth it as it’s quite beautiful, and beloved original BO is very detectable, there’s a strange mid note though ( maybe blackcurrant ) that gives this an odd smell kinda after say 15 mins , it just kinda pops up, fortunately it goes a few mins later and becomes very very creamy and like walking in a lush rainy garden how the green stems and flowers would smell very rich amped up in the rainy air.
This Version has still got some darkness too, and is very interesting but this is tuberose and honeysukle turned up and the chocolate turned down.
Basically if you are a lady who enjoys classy white florals then you will adore this one , it’s not really a man’s fragrance to me definitely more a stylish woman’s. ( who am i to say a man could not pull this off , and if you guys are rocking this version wooop wooop , but im just saying this leans femmine ).
I personally slightly prefer the original version of black orchid but I’m a gourmand lover , usually big florals are not for me but this one is a perfect summer version of BO and it’s still creamy a bit spicy and has wonderful depth, i still enjoy this version, i can see why its admired.
sadly its discontinuation will make this a rare forgotten version and thats plain sad as this version is simply gorgeous and gets totally overlooked!
It has Mr fords DNA all over it so boy is it classy still …expensive smelling! …but…only get this if you enjoy white flowers especially gardenia.
Lastly I’ve never smelled such richness to the florals as though walking through a garden abounding with desirable flowers the florals are so true to life !! (are absolutes used here ? )
So a little less gourmand than the original version but Tom ford may well have made a more Wearable version here, that will tick boxes for many romantic ,dark floral lovers ,on a summer day at the park or a business meeting where impressions count !
if the original BO is sexy this version is pretty and romantic a gardenia bomshell.
Sadly BOVF is not one for me to keep but I’m on the fence about keeping
Original BO too. Main reason is neither one suits my skin.
Shame as their both rich magestic and different.

I don’t know how close to the regular Black Orchid this flanker smells, but I got this one in a more affordable price, and I decided to wear it for the first time today, and when I first tested it I thought it was totally in the feminine side, but after trying it on and also tested by female coworkers, they thought it was unisex or rather masculine, so well I am keeping it for now, I though it was going to be kinda cloying or too sweet but it has settled nicely. But well it is so far on my like but not my love ones.
Has any male around here has had the chance to compare and wear both flankers?
I wore it during a night out last Saturday, no comments whatsoever.
igningRit – :
So light, but it stays and stay on my skin. It is one I often wear to bed, as it is,nvere cloying.
yja735speagoessenda – :
I’m obsessed with TF now, and I looove BO EDP. So I grabbed this for an okay price, before it totally disappears.
And… well, it’s nice. It’s Tom Ford. But… it’s more like a flanker for VO. Smelling from the bottle/nozzle you can detect that BO vein/DNA of thick dark patchouli, but when worn… BO Voile de Fleur is allllll thick gardenia. It’s not something I love, not my type (I’m a sweetie/gourmand) but I’m glad to have it.
I sprayed lightly and had decent/good longevity and sillage. I do 1-3 sprays and then freshen up with 1-2 during the day.
I am sort of on the fence as to whether my bottle is 100% legit. The logo/charm at the neck looks ever so slightly off…. but everything else matches. My batch code puts it at 2007? I don’t have anything to compare it to. This seems kinda weak? It is an EDT tho.
I love the opening, first 10-20 minutes. Totally a great flanker of BO…. I get the BO but amped up florals, and then about 1 hour later it’s a very generic gardenia.
I used about 5-6 sprays and it def didn’t knock me on my ass the way legit BO would.
I wore this on a summery day, and I like it so much more! It’s still very much white floral/gardenia, but I get an airy melon (a note from BO) and the milky sweetness makes the flowers creamy. It lasted all day, and possibly could be called “heavy”. I still think it’s a summer/spring scent, but may be too cloying for some. In winter (which lasts 6 months here) it just disappeared too quickly. I love heavy perfumes period, so I’m heavy handed and my appreciation of VdeF just went way up! <3
jaguar666iv – :
As much as I love Black Orchid, and that love is considerable, it was the rough draft before this masterpiece!
Black Orchid is made milky here. Made considerably more floral and more feminine. Yes, I know fragrance does not have a gender designation, but Black Orchid Voile de Fleur absolutely does. The gardenia sees to it. It’s in the original, but it doesn’t find expression until this very necessary flanker. Gardenia replaces the dark chocolate, which was brought to heel, as the most prominent note. The patchouli still speaks to me, which is always a good thing, but it’s tempered, more palatable for the patchouli shy, a good thing for everyone else. I also detect the plum, but it’s not so much a solo fruit note to my nose. It’s not quite a cocktail, but it doesn’t stand unassisted either. It’s sprinkled with cinnamon, for a softer bit of spice. The orchid still presents and is lovely, but it was one of the main floral attractions in the original fragrance. That’s no longer the case.
As someone who frequently suffers from flanker fatigue, Black Orchid Voile de Fleur is my beautiful reward.
RonaldinhoGaucho – :
I enjoyed the opening and middle notes.. And I couldn’t agree more of the two reviewers here.. Base / drydrown was a disappointment…smelled like piss..
vovan2002009 – :
I have tried hundreds of fragrances at this point and only two have been absolute scrubbers: Madness by Chopard and Black Orchid by Tom Ford, the latter being the worst offender. When I sprayed it the first time it literally made me dry heave. I had hopes that this one would be more agreeable, as I am quite fond of Velvet Orchid for example, and it is – marginally. The opening still makes my stomach turn and the drydown for some reason disagrees with me as well, though I should like it in theory. I find the gardenia in this to be similar to the gardenia in L’Artisan Parfumeur Rappelle-Toi.
зай – :
The gardenia floral opening in this is one of the best of the modern big white scents. What may give someone fits is its masculine oriental nature that surfaces underneath.
I love old fashioned orientals and gardenia/tuberose scents like Fracas, Blonde, and Jungle Gardenia, and I like the deep orientals like Opium. This is the driving force in Voile. Its a strong,updated white floral opening with a just as spicy drydown to match bordering on masculine.
Its beautifully done, complex, and a treat for vintage or old school lovers like me. Im not sure if the fruitchouli, sweet gourmand lovers can handle this one. Try before you buy.I agree with the reviewer this could be Fracas Noir. This sexy beautiful femme fatale bites back. Its not tame in the least once you get past her opening….:) It behaves much better in the cooler temps than summer
infereary – :
I’m not good at notes (yet), but reading about this I expected almost a Fracas-like scent from the general category of white flowers, and while it does have that sort of abiding floral-ness, on me this is just the regular Black Orchid without the sharp, sweaty cash that came out of a bag of old incense note lol. That makes it a lot less special and way more tame, but also more wearable.
Iriney – :
Cant afford the Tom Ford ? use Rare Pearls by Avon.. altough not similiar in quality , they kind of smell the same.
kkrukov – :
Warm milk is an oriental note? Maybe that means fermented mare’s milk from Mongolia. Never mind: the great thing is that Voile is nearly as satisfying as Velvet Gardenia but costs way less, so far. And that it’s as enchanting as regular Black Orchid is off-putting.
diman211 – :
I hate the original Black Orchid. However, I love the Voile de Fleur so much, one of my favorite perfumes ever. It’s so unique.
BOVdF is a strong white floral perfume fronted by an indolic gardenia note. Made creamy with subtle vanilla. Infused with freshness by a milk note. Plum adds a sensual sweetness and fruitiness. Like the original and probably the only real similarity with it, BOVdF is heavily peppery with a pine needle note, which adds an androgynous edgy quality to the fragrance. This pepper and pine fades slightly in the dry down, but it’s so strong in the beginning. All this grounded and warmed with woody and patchouli notes in the dry down.
This fragrance borders on ugly because of the pine bitterness and it’s kind of a disjointed mish mash perfume but at the same time the creamy sweetness of the white floral makes it so pretty, prettier than Black Orchid the original which is also an everything and the kitchen sink type scent as well. In comparison BOVdF is more sheer and sweet. So I feel it gives off a diva vibe, but not as much compared to the original.
The unfortunate news is that BOVdF is discontinued. The two recent Black Orchid flankers, the EDT and Velvet Orchid, are not similar enough to BOVdF. The good news is that BOVdF has not reached astronomical prices on eBay yet. Get it while you can.

I just blind bought Voile and at first spray I wanted to scrub it. The currant is just so pissy! It’s like TF has a joke going here, Black Orchid is balls and Voile is piss. So we’ve got balls and piss. Velvet is the only one out of the three that I love from start to finish. The drydown is where I smell the similarities between Black Orchid, Velvet Orchid and Voile. That would most likely be his Orchid note which hangs around for a long time.
I love his impression of the Orchid note and therefore love the heart and drydown of Voile once the currant settles into the background. Then I notice more of the gardenia and ylang and the drydown is when I notice the creamy notes. I will spare the comparisons to high heels, whips, big and little sisters, sparkly things and…whatever.
Tom Ford’s Orchid is a note that holds its own in its own unique way, it’s dark, mysterious and carnal. That is why it commanded its own signature line so depending on your mood, body chemistry and the season this line gives you options of how you want to wear it, like an orchid wardrobe of sorts.
Voile just happens to clash with me, so we don’t get along. It’s like wearing plaid on rainbows to me.
iloni – :
Just got my blind buy of this and like many have already stated this is NOT related to the original BO. This opened on my skin with prominent almost sharp gardenia and lily. Lily is my least fave note but in BOVDdF it is nicely camouflaged. As it settles down the gardenia becomes a bit more creamy and I get the very faint whiff of ylang, orchid and sandalwood. I don’t get much cinnamon or discernible fruit but I assume they are there keeping the white florals from going heady and “old school”. This is definitely more floral than oriental and while I’m not a really a floral girl this is a nice take on a darker white floral that I can see myself wearing to a wedding or a play.

Black Orchid Voile de Fleur
Enquanto Black Orchid tem alma masculina, Voile de Fleur tem alma feminina.
A base é similar, as notas de fundo, o mesmo patchouli com especiarias. A grande diferença na minha concepção é que o tradicional é escuro, denso, misterioso, imponente, fechado, resinoso, enquanto Voile de Fleur é aberto, tem algo frutado, parece ameixa bem docinha, floralzão, neste aparecem lírio e gardênia, aliás, carregadíssimo em gardênia.
Blach Orchid está para um inverno misterioso e sexy, enquanto Voile de Fleur está para uma primavera florida e romântica.
Prefiro o primeiro, não poderia ser diferente…rs.
Poikklon – :
This is clearly related to Black orchid. You could describe this one as a more friendlier, luminous version IMO. It’s more like they took all of the funky patchouli/chocolate/truffle notes out of BO and replaced them with a bouquet of sparkling flowers, fresh plums and sweet, full cream. It’s quite floral – you really have to love white flowers in order to appreciate this flanker of BO.
It opens up really ‘fresh’ – I can’t really come up with another word since I haven’t experienced an opening like this before. The cassis is slightly pissy, but perfectly balanced by the rather sweet and floral ylang ylang. The heartnotes soon take over and it’s a rhapsody of flowers; gardenia makes her entrance along lily. They steal the spotlight, only to be interrupted by the sweet plum. I can’t really make out the pepper and signature orchid note though; they seem to be drowned in the gardenia/lily combo. I guess the honeysuckle contributes to the fresh and sparkly feeling of the heartnotes. As it dries down it becomes warmer – the most noticeable basenotes are sandalwood, warm milk and a slight pinch of cinnamon. I really love it and I’m quite sad it was discontinued. Sillage is huge in the beginning and stays moderate during it’s longevity, which is about 8 hours.
P.S: It’s not as unisex as BO, since it doesn’t contain the heavy patch/chocolate/incense combo which make the original such a delightful genderless creation. Still recommended to lovers of BO who would like a lighter and more floral version BO.
slada – :
it’s got nothing to do with the original black orchid , is a white flowers very nice perfume , but if you are expecting the syrup thick vibe of black orchid this is not it , this is super friendly , i like it.
DKWpop – :
I like it even more than the original version. The original is somehow heavier, while Voile de Fleur is seductive, yet quite gentle. I’m happy to be a proud owner of VDF, it’s quite rich & distinct. Not for everyday use but certainly great for that special occasion!
upj600InsuffBooni – :
mmmmm I love this one!It is too bad it was discontinude.
To me this is a deliciously dark gardenia scent, as gardenia is the most prominent and recognizable floral.
I don’t smell the milkiness very characteristically, I think it must blend very well. I love the plum and black currant, they work so well together creating a sparkly dark fruity opening that sets precedent for the base.
And the drydown is, like I said before, mmmmmm!
It is a gorgeous combination of elegent florals with an exotic spicy groumand base. Very warm and comforting and delicious!
Such a beauty. Great work!
dizelsol – :
I love both the Original Black Orchid and the now discontinued BOVDF.
The only way I can describe the difference between Black Orchid and BOVDF is that Black Orchid is the older sister who seductive, rich, powerful, loves chocolate and knows what she wants where as BOVDF is the younger sister who is flirty, flowery, playful and is learning from her older sister about life, how to get what you want and hasn’t tried chocolate yet.
I so was gutted when the BOVDF was discontinued. I have been after getting some more of the BOVDF for ages now but the prices on EBAY were just ridiculous (around £100 for 50ml)BUT recently I saw a 50ml bottle of BOVDF edt and the seller was also selling a 100ml of Black Orchid edt (it didn’t have the VDF on the black label which apparently happened to quite a few of the 100ml) I realised that the 100ml was in fact the BOVDF 1) because of the black label and not gold label 2) because it was EDT. So I was chuffed to bits when I won both of them at just over £100! So now I am a happy girl as I have the Original Black Orchid and the discontinued BOVDF and have 150ml of the BOVDF once again which should last me a long time. The BOVDF lasts as long on my skin as the Black Orchid but is better for daytime wear. To me the BOVDF is still an EDP because of the longevity. I think they classed it back then as EDT as it wasn’t as strong, lighter, fresher and more flowery? That is my only explanation as it lasts just as long as the Black Orchid EDP. I have worn the BOVDF to work a couple of days now and already had comments of ‘That smells lovely what is it’ so I am chuffed to bits. I can’t understand how anyone says they cannot smell any difference between the two as Black Orchid has a richer, deeper, more chocolatey fragrance whilst BOVDF is similar BUT lighter, flowery but has almost no chocolate undertones! I agree with others that BOVDF is best worn in autumn/winter time in the daytime or in the evening anytime. Now all I need is the BOVDF body lotion Lol x

nulla o quasi in comune con l’originale black orchid (che è molto più nero e gotico) questo profumo è uno dei pochi floreali che riesco ad indossare senza traumi. le note di testa, biancospino, ylang ylang e tuberosa (che però non compare nella piramide olfattiva, dove viene citata la gardenia), molto naturali e, fortunatamente non asfissianti, lasciano il posto, lentamente al patchouli e alla cannella, passando per territori cremosi (latte?). l’assestamento è dolcemente fiorito e sopportabile

Guys, just got a bottle in the post – this is amazing!,, Who is that moronic marketing Director who discontinued such a unique fragrance?..
horozidiserj – :
I was very surprised by Voile de Fleur, because, in my opinion, it does not smell very much like the original at all. Many of the dense earthy-gourmand notes that make Black Orchid so distinctive have been softened or omitted entirely and replaced with rich florals. Gardenia and ylang are specifically very present. I am obsessed with fragrances that have prominent milky/dairy notes (if you are too, check out Gold Sugar and Le Feu d’Issey) and I love the way that the creamy note at the center of this composition adds a beautifully soft, comforting quality to the fragrance.
Voile de Fleur is the kind of fragrance that reminds me of the absolute majesty of white floral notes when they are done well. For me personally, it’s like they tickle this part of my brain that appreciates beauty and splendor.
This fragrance has very large sillage and respectable staying power. One interesting quirk about the way this fragrance is composed is that it has almost no top notes at all. It’s comprised mainly of very solid base notes and heart notes. Because of this, it is somewhat linear and does not change very much from the onset to the drydown. But the fragrance itself is so stunning that I don’t view this as a negative at all.
A superb, artistic fragrance that is an absolute pleasure to wear. Bravo.

tarvad – :
This aromatic bouquet of mix white flowers has dark and mysteries aura around it. It’s evening, cold weather fragrance. More complex then an original Black Orchid, the only similarity – some patchouli at the dry down.
I am not blown away by this creation. I think it’s a bit rough around the edges, not well composed. Not for me.
Ася – :
It is a cool perfume.
Not for summer.

Razvalist71 – :
OMG this is amazing. First of all, I’m obsessed with the original, but this one is a totally different beast. It does have a slight Black Orchid “vibe”, which I do like, but the focus is entirely on the gardenia. I’m really not into white florals, like at all, but this is gardenia I can get on board with. In fact, it’s the most beautiful gardenia I have ever smelled. I can’t do scents like Michael Kors Michael. Just too “sweet” and headache-inducing, but this one is soft, milky, a bit spicy, and not at all cloying or sickening like most white florals. Like with B.O., I find that my nose adjusts to the scent rather quickly, which is a shame. I can’t smell it after a while but I know others can because it’s rather strong. I am happy to reapply though in the comfort of my own home 🙂 The sillage is nice. Too bad this one is discontinued, but glad I snatched up a bottle before it becomes too scarce.

A big bouquet of white flowers, mainly tuberose, plus some gardenia, with a strong toffee note from top to down. It’s heady at the start but melts well on my skin. Simply lovely.

oksanavv – :
soulflwr, sorry but it seems like you didn’t catch))). My question was not about that at all. I clearly see that the fragrances are different. I asked firstly about a kind of confirmation of my knowledge that original BO was presented only in EDP, and secondly “why some bottles lack the line “Voile de Fleur” (as on a photo with a box above), but others still have?” My thanks to people who reacted via Private messages, I appreciate all points of view on above-mentioned…eh…problem))).
Wamearguert – :
@G_Alinka they are two different fragrances. YOu can think of this one as a flanker of the Original Black Orchid. The gold label bottle with just “Black Orchid” on it is the original fragrance. The black label bottle with “Black Orchid Voile de Fleur” is the flanker. They are two different perfumes, which can be confusing because the packaging is pretty much identical.
kuzmich77 – :
Could somebody please kindly tell me why some bottles lack the line “Voile de Fleur” (as on a photo with a box above), but others still have? As far as I know this cannot be “Black Orchid” in EDT, ’cause the concentration for a classical fragrance is only EDP, right?))) So, what’s that then?
wolf010485 – :
I tested this a few years back and remember loving it. I was surprised that I loved it so much more than the original Black Orchid. Does anyone know where I can find this in stores?
rrr – :
Although I know that this black orchid has very different notes, I detect a very strong tobacco note in this when I wear it. It’s not bad, it adds a sharpness. I don’t get creamy at all. On me, this smells dark and dangerous, some deep sweetness, hard to say exactly what that is. This is what I would wear with evening clothes, definitely for the night.
Bugor22 – :
First of all Voile de Fleur has absolutely nothing in common with the original Black Orchid; they are both deep and intoxicating but that’s all.
While the original is more creative and harder to pull off with the thick dark chocolate, patchouli, incense, truffle and a base heavy on the vetiver, Voile de Fleur is much softer, a luscious bouquet of slightly indolic white flowers without dramatic changes towards the drydown.
On me the most prominent elements are honeysuckle, gardenia and ylang ylang. There’s definitely an animalic aspect here, probably the floral notes along with the plum and black currant. I also enjoy the addition of soft sandalwood in the lightly oriental base which has a creamy quality that compliments the buttery gardenia nicely.
I can see Voile de Fleur working well during warm summer evenings when the honeysuckle blooms naturally but I like it even better when it’s cold outside. It smells retro and contemporary at the same time, very feminine.
Lovely.
hlv894bedyWelty – :
So many conflicting reviews here for this beauty. I am convinced that Voile de Fleur must be highly dependent on skin chemistry.
I had to close my eyes and take in this creamy, opulent and sweetened scent. I immediately get the lush floral notes of gardenia and ylang-ylang along with milky-sweet vanilla. The patchouli and pepper are both non-existent on me, I cannot detect them on my skin. What I am surrounded with is this luscious, rich floral aura with very subtle hints of fruity dew-drenched sweetness in the background.
A sophisticated and sensual scent … quite potent which turned soft within a few minutes yet lingered for eight alluring hours on the skin.
alena_zh – :
Its a man’s perfume from the first spray to the dry down. I’m very sorry I bought it.
EgorOk – :
I just don’t like it! I don’t understand. I mean it’s a very complex, in iteresting perfume that firmly displays the talent of the nose behind this…but I have to say this is to me, one if not the oldest smelling perfume I’ve ever sniffed. I feel like I need to be 60 in order to appreciate this. And I’m someone who loves dark perfumes.. I love the original Black Orchid, Coco Chanel, Coromandel and many others that most consider ‘noir’ or older. But this? good lord, don’t you dare spritz this on me, until I’m safe and comfortable in a friendly and loving nursing home
It’s a Big white floral with lots of smoke, bells and whistles… too much, in fact!
I feel like this is Tom Ford’s ‘Belle de Opium’
Diffassedyday – :
Absolutely love both but I find Voile being better. Black Orchid is beautiful but this is way more elegant, better blended, femenine but stil very unique.
I am very confident wearing any perfume (including heavy masculine scents) but sometimes I have my doubts with BO, so Voile de Fleur is more wearable for me.
It has everything I love. My favorite here are plum, milk, sandalwood and resins. It is difficult to find some good milk base in perfume and it has good reaction with my chemistry. I have to say that I love lilies but usually perfumes with such note make me feel bad and I start to have a headache, but not here.
Not everyday scent for sure. I tried this on very hot weather and few time on rainy days, it develops differently but you can definetly use this in summer with light hand.
Good sillage and longivity.
vanyprof – :
I love it so much!
White flowers(gardenia, lily) with milk. Very sexy and provocative. Sillage is heavy. It’s like smell of exotic flowers after rain … magnificent scent.
Dante77 – :
This is the queen of Patchouli scents, (and maybe the Black Orchid as well). Every sent that contains Patchouli, on my skin it turns in to a mentholated odd smell. Is’t like dried menthol, a stingy oldish scent – I hate it.
But when someone else put it on, I allways feel a diferent scent. Sometimes sweet, sometimes a spicy fragrant. So the long and short of it: Patchouli is not compatible whit my chemistry.
It’s sad, and it wasn’t that long lasting what I’m expected (only 4-5 hour). Maybe it was also becous of may skin.
yqetltlvqj – :
I decided that I wanted a Ford scent and somehow settled on Black Orchid but I haven’t been able to get it readily. When I came across this I snapped up a bottle without any test. However black some of the components (and they are great!), this reminds me why I love white flowers. The creamy quality (that milk) is fantastic and though I do not wear it every day, whenever I do put it on I wonder why I haven’t grabbed it off my shelf sooner.
Intoxicating in all the best ways.
gomaz – :
I don’t know yet (after few months of having it;) – either I like it, or not. It has a strong character, not so easy to domesticate..
Extrins – :
Well I really like this scent. I have never purchased the actual Tom Ford Black Orchid but a duplication fragrance oil since these are what I use in my cosmetic formulations. I can, however, say quite confidently that it does NOT smell like a mans unwashed balls.
I worked in a hospital for several years and can assure you that neglected personal hygiene smells nothing like this or any other fragrance I have ever owned. Nor do I detect a sour Eau de Litterbox smell.
This is a very grown up sexy scent. Not for the younger teen generation.

To my surprise, the fragrance that I splashed it on my wrist – has evolved to become a wonderful aroma, complex, deep, but at the same time – clean.
I was happy and I ran to the store to buy another bottle. Now, I have two bottles, 50 mL each.
This smell is perfect for me. Durability of smell – is excellent.
Strangely, this fragrance fits me every hour of the day and evening.
I love this perfume!
