Released in 2006, Black Orchid by Tom Ford is warm spicy, earthy, woody perfume with sweet undertones. Crafted by Pierre Negrin and David Apel. Mysterious and alluring, unisex scent, masterpiece. It opens with amalfi lemon, bergamot, black currant, gardenia, jasmine, mandarin orange, truffle and ylang-ylang, transitions through heart notes of fruity notes, gardenia, jasmine, lotus, orchid, spices and ylang-ylang, and settles into a warm base of amber, incense, mexican chocolate, patchouli, sandalwood, vanille, vetiver and white musk. Projection Monster and performance is long lasting 8+ hours.

Black Orchid delivers a deep, opulent scent, dominated by a unique blend of dark chocolate, earthy truffle, and exotic florals. While originally marketed towards women, I find it confidently unisex and perfect for a man who isn't afraid of something bold. Its fantastic longevity and strong sillage make it ideal for cooler evening social gatherings, like a memorable date night, but it's definitely too much for the office.
