Black Orchid Oud

Black Orchid Oud, a Dark Orchid and Oud

Black Orchid Oud was the darkest chapter of the Black Orchid story. Our version keeps that lush, dramatic feel, opening with earthy truffle and bergamot before a deep black orchid and oud heart settles over patchouli, vanilla, and incense.

The Story Behind the Scent

Tom Ford built Black Orchid Oud as a rare, oud driven twist on the iconic Black Orchid. It took the same dark, glamorous character and pushed it further, adding smoky agarwood for extra depth and richness.

Because it was released in very limited quantities, it became something of a hidden gem, spoken about more than it was ever found. Our interpretation keeps that opulent orchid and oud idea alive, so you can wear it without hunting down a rare bottle.
