Black Orchid by Tom Ford
Original designer fragrance – inspired by opulent florals, dark woods, and decadent gourmand notes.
 
Dupe Insight:
Black Orchid is one of the most replicated scents in niche and designer perfumery. Its deep, complex blend of truffle, orchid, and chocolate is often imitated but rarely matched. Dupes include Oil Perfumery’s Black Orchid and Paris Corner’s Noir En Leather.
 
Black Orchid opens with a dramatic burst of black truffle, plum, and citrus, immediately rich and mysterious. The heart reveals dark orchid, spicy florals, and a hint of fruity sweetness — elegant and seductive. As it settles, the base becomes creamy and dark, with patchouli, incense, vanilla, and bitter chocolate adding depth, warmth, and a touch of danger.
