I love Tom Ford Black Orchid (original formulation) and strong scents are great but this was overwhelming, overbearing and gave me a terrible headache. At first I quite liked it but by the third time I tried it, I had worked out where the headache was coming from. I tried using it as toilet freshener but the smell permeated the house and I couldn’t stand it. It has a strong fake orchid smell. I sold my bottle. Do not blind buy!!

I just received my bottle and this is gorgeous and, like others have mentioned, very similar to the infamous Black Orchid, that I love wearing from time to time in the Winter months. I am a huge fan of the La Yuqawam line and purchased the Femme version for my girlfriend. There are slight differences (not major) between the two fragrances (similar to how La Yuqawam Femme is ramarkably different but slight different than Tuscan Leather) but I’ll have to spend more time with it. Big Love and I will update my review later.
Update: I got to compare these side-by-side recently and, while this fragrance is similar to Black Orchid, my girlfriend and I feel that Black Orchid takes things to another level in quality and performance. The orchid and floral tones are simply amazing. Regardless, La Yuqawam Femme is still really, really nice.

Yep, agree with other reviews here. This is a nearly exact dupe for Tom Ford’s Black Orchid (at least I couldn’t tell any difference.) I wore this and a sample of black orchid on each arm and couldn’t have told you which was which if someone else had sprayed them on.

Just got a sample of this and I agree with the reviews below. This is Tom Ford’s Black Orchid 1-on-1. I am surprised how few people know about this, compared to the male version of La Yuqawam. This worth every penny you pay for it. I might have to get a full bottle of this.

This does indeed smell very similar to Black Orchid but I would not say they are identical. I love both fragrances but Black Orchid is definitely a “darker” scent and to my nose creamier but less sweet than La Yuqawam. I find La Yuqawam to be gentler, sweeter and with a grassier undertone. So, despite some initial similarities to Black Orchid, I would still say La Yuqawam is its own scent. Surprisingly both sillage and longevity of La Yuqawam are much better than Black orchid–and Black Orchid is no shrinking flower.
I’m really happy with both fragrances. For me, Black Orchid is the essence of a confident woman on the prowl, assertively going after what she wants. La Yuqawam by contrast, is a woman pursued, surrounded by admirers but almost unknowingly so. Since few women are solely ever one or the other, it’s nice to have both to fit whichever mood strikes.

In BO incense is very important, but as i see, in LY incense is not in the olfactory pyramid. So, how these two are so alike? Is there any incensy smell, or not? Please, leț me know, I couldn t find a tester..thank You!

Smells exactly like black orchid.It is a good choice for people who want Tom Ford BO with lowest price.
Sillage and longevity are great.

Very close to Black Orchid at some point but much much better, in terms of concentration and longevity. La Yuqawam smells a good 8 hours on my skin whereas Black Orchid was gone by midday from both my wrist and my sleeve.
Not sure whether that was a fair idea to put on the market something being so close to a top-selling product but really, this is an improved version at much lower price. I purchased two backups while I could find it cheap. Will probably become my signature scent.

100% Black Orcgid but longer lasting and less than half the price… Not my favorite but worth every penny. Expensive smelling… Identical to black orchid
