Too much of a good truffle

I bought the Black Orchid Eau de Parfum blind because I was looking for a slightly "darker" fragrance As I prefer leather, incense, saffron etc., I wanted something that was also dark, but with different notes.
According to the reviews, I should find what I'm looking for in this fragrance.
I've had the bottle with me for months and every time I tried it, I had to wash it off immediately. The truffle is just far too penetrating for me.

Today I wanted to give it another chance and held out until the dry down.
And yet, the truffle is no longer as strong, but it is still the most prominent thing I notice even after 4 hours.
I like truffles as a food, but only in masses.
I don't want to walk on two legs like truffles. Although...would certainly have the advantage of keeping people at a distance

Bumpy start, good end

A really peculiar fragrance, I have to say. Was shown to me by a friend in Sephora because of a possible slight similarity to Blessed Baraka. Had a voucher, ordered it and tested it in everyday life.

The first 2 sprays, the first 5 minutes...BAH! PFUI! And money thrown out of the window again. That was the thought. Somehow fermented, it smelled like half-moldy berries...at the same time pungent, I can hardly describe it. I just wanted to wash the scent off.
But I'm glad I gave it a chance (or was too lazy to wash it off...)! Because after 5-10 minutes it slowly evolves - the fermented berries disappear, the scent becomes lighter, more floral, sandalwood comes through. Soft and dark.

H/S is absolutely fine, especially in the hair the fragrance is still perceptible for 1-2 days.

Patience is a virtue here, if you hold out for the first few minutes, you will be rewarded with a mystical, dark, soft fragrance!

Sensual Orchid?

I cant actually pinpoint exactly what it is I like so damn much with this fragrance, id almost say its a simple fragrance, yet its fun and unlike almost anything else that I have tried in my days? There isn't much complexity, or something peculiar you have to "get" with this fragrance, its just good!

The fact that it evokes a snug and almost sensual feeling gives it quite the wonderful and almost melancholic vibe as well, especially late at night. So even though I have moved on from wearing this as my daily, it is still the fragrance I reach for when I'm going out for the night, or meeting someone new!

Gloomy flowers

I remember the Black Orchid Eau de Parfum as strange, but I wanted to try it again after a few years. And giving it another chance was absolutely worth it.

It definitely starts off quite fruity, but it also quickly becomes very floral. A floral note that I have never really smelled before. Judging by the name, I would guess black orchid. Any other idea would be somewhat disappointing. For me, this note is very intense, but at the same time not necessarily traditionally sweet and thoroughly pleasant. It has something dark, something mysterious about it, which I really like. Towards the drydown, it actually becomes a little sweeter, but the perfume doesn't completely take over this sweetness either. The orchid is still the main protagonist in this fragrance composition, even towards the end.

Originally marketed as a women's fragrance, the scent works just as well on men. Even if he is by no means the ultra-masculine role model for this argument, Michael Jackson, for example, probably loved wearing this fragrance. I also think it can be worn in spring, fall and winter, but preferably in the evening.

I find the longevity and sillage to be really good. There are only a few fragrances that are ahead of this one. The price-performance ratio is absolutely fine.

I would say that this is also one of the fragrances that everyone must have smelled!

Black Orchid

Tom Ford Black Orchid has a slightly fruity and floral opening - with a creamy note. Although the fragrance contains bergamot - you don't really notice much of it. After about half an hour, the sandalwood comes more and more to the fore. The slightly fruity note continues to accompany the fragrance discreetly. The vetiver also joins in over time and underlines the fruity, floral fragrance. I don't find the chocolate too sweet. All of the fragrances blend into one another, none of them is overpowering. as I said, the fragrance is slightly fruity, floral, woody, spicy, vanilla, creamy, very subtly chocolaty, pleasantly warm, unobtrusive The fragrance trail is moderate. The longevity is pretty good and I think you get a lot for the price. However, you should test the perfume beforehand, as it is not for everyone.
