Black Orchid Oud

Black Orchid Oud, inspired by Tom Ford Black Orchid Oud (2012)

The listed profile pairs agarwood, the resinous wood known as oud, with the truffle and dark chocolate associated with Black Orchid. Orchid, jasmine and ylang-ylang give a heavy floral layer, while a little citrus lightens the top. Patchouli, vanilla and incense build an earthy, sweet and smoky foundation, with sandalwood and musk underneath.

About the original

Fragrance references list Black Orchid Oud as a 2012 Tom Ford fragrance by Calice Becker. No official Tom Ford page, press release or retailer listing for it has been found, and doubts remain over whether it was ever sold. Black Orchid by Oud Musk is an unrelated scent.

Our version

Ours is an independent eau de parfum made to evoke the same character. It is not Tom Ford stock, not an official relaunch and not the original formula.

Who it suits

Best for someone who already enjoys dense, dark scents. The mix of oud, truffle, chocolate and patchouli is earthy and heavy, so anyone after a fresh or clean fragrance should look elsewhere.
