On a mission to discover “the perfect flower: luxurious, elegant and pure”, Tom Ford concocted the Black Orchid eau de toilette in 2006. Continuing to lure us in with a heady scent, the label infuses this floral blend with notes of jasmine, gardenia, and ylang-ylang before finishing with creamy vanilla and chocolate aromas. Destined to take pride of place on your dressing table, the now-iconic streamlined bottle is an interpretation of 1920s and 1930s architecture.
Top notes: Truffle, gardenia, blackcurrant, Ylang-Ylang, jasmine, bergamot, mandarin orange and Amalfi lemon.
Heart notes: Orchid, spices, gardenia, jasmine and lotus.
