Absolutely love this one Mr. Hughes. You wearing the fragrance around for a day before giving your reviews ads a whole new dimension that I don't see much on youtube reviews. Being able to get an experts opinion on the performance, longevity and projection from their experience is massive. Thanks for all the information you give to us novices!
Literally one of the most distinctive, alluring, musky, sexual and attracting scents I've ever owned. I have had so many stop me and ask what I'm wearing. Both men and women. But men at first may initially think its too feminine, but i disagree. I think if you want to be noticed, distinctly recognized, while also smelling very sensual and masculine, this is a great parfum. I love it. Love your analysis.
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this one, Aaron. I have watched a few reviews on this, and yours was the one I have been looking forward to most. You never let me down! Thank you.
I've wasted so many hours watching novice reviewers but since I've discovered you Aaron i have no appreciation for these RUclips reviewers. I'm so glad I've found you. I absolutely love you and your review style.😙😚😍❤💓
nadz G thank you for recognising the hard work that goes into these reviews. I’m constantly trying to take a complex subject and make it interesting and educational.
Love your reviews but also just love your voice...kind, sincere and soothing. Just recieved Tobacco Oud and Vanilla and the oud is strong and warm on my skin. Thank you.
I'm loving these reviews, your comments are always so interesting... am I the only one who gets crazy ASMR from these videos? I think it is the hand movements and the soothing voice hahaha...
omg i totally agree. I was thinking the same thing as I binge these videos. I don't really care for ASMR, but Aaron is entertaining and the commentary is more interesting, hahaha!
Good review mate. Many of the big RUclips reviewers came out and said this was a better performing version of the original and one of the best releases of 2020. However It was quite alarming that in many of the fragrance groups im part of this has been for sale by lots of people. General feedback is that it becomes linear quite quickly and isn't a great release. I have learned to wait at least a month after a fragrance is released so watch a wide variety of reviews of a fragrance. A parfum should be better performing than an edt.
I really love your reviews, it is most interesting to discover the opinion of a professional who is working with perfumes on a daily basis. Much appreciated 🙂I do, however, have to disagree on the projection of Black Orchid Parfum. I have been using it for a year now, and each time I wear it, I am surrounded by the scent, it acts like a huge cloud around me. And even after work, in the evening, people ask me what perfume I am wearing. It lasts and projects that long, at least on me. But, hey, each and everyone of us experience scent in different ways, and that is a valuable thing as well 😄
I love this review. It's refreshing to hear someone not afraid to be honest and to not hype a fragrance. Between this one and Noir Extreme, which do you like better?
Eau de parfum black orchid is so full of layers .. cant get enough of it! Never! Parfum black orchid is also beautiful but i can only find 2 layers, its more sharpe(rum?) and its stays more with ya.. For me the eau de parfum is the one!
I bought a sample of this then sprayed a little on my wrist and went to work...12 hours later I could still smell it so I was sold...totally loved the dry down so went and ordered a 100 ml bottle. My mistake was confusing longevity as a skin scent thinking in-between it would offer beast mode projection. I was sooo disappointed, I was lining this up to be my new signature scent, knocking Oud For Greatness off its top spot. Black Orchid Parfum is, sadly, not one of my wisest of purchases.
Great review Aaron, I’ll be giving this one a swerve as I already own the original, thank you for saving me some cash! Ps. Should be receiving my order of ‘Dirty Slut’ tomorrow, can’t wait to try it! 🦄
I think the original is amazing and this version isn't punchy enough. Dirty Slut is a fun fragrance. Interesting as its citrus with a lot of filth in the base.
I disagree that it doesn't contain ylang ylang. Black orchid contains germacrene D, Methyl benzoate, Farnesol, α-Farnesene, Methyl heptenone, Alpha humelene, Benzyl benzoate, 1,8 cineole, Cadinene, alpha ylangene, Prenyl acetate, Terpinen-4-ol and beta caryophylene, all of which are present in ylang ylang. Of course some of these could be sourced as aromachemicals but to me the quality of especially the opening is indicative of a high quality ylang ylang extra fraction. With regards to projection I agree, I think the most likely reason is the ban on lyral. Lyral was used in many perfumes and since its ban and the forced reformulation of perfumes, they do not project anywhere near as well. A classic case of this is dior jadore which is a shadow of the old formulation
This is one of the things that really irritates me. I own the EDP for about 4 years, and it's good stuff. Leave it alone! These houses (i'm a tom ford fanboy) that throw out edt, edp and parfum versions are just taking advantage of the consumer. Then we get the extreme and intense versions! When unfortunately we get the sport and aqua releases, that's the time I start banging my head against a wall, hoping to cave my skull in. 🤯
Love your videos and content you are one my favorite reviewer, have you ever thought about making a book of perfume Marine the things that inspired you to get into fragrances. Things you love a bit of a biography but the life that the fragrances have taken you on. Within that book maybe also share some fragrance recipes that we could make here at home and spark and fuel the fire of fragrance lovers all around.
Thank you so much my dh was going to buy this for my wedding anniversary but thanks to your review I'm going to get a larger bottle of the original. I dodged a bullet thanks to you.
Been meaning to tell you how awesome your hair is looking these days!! I'm going to be getting a sample/decant of this fragrance in the future. Great review, ATH!
Ur reviews breaking lot of myths about perfumes and intriguing. Glad I found u and there you go earned a new subscriber. Great job and I can’t wait to smell ur own brand.. Stay safe🤝👌👍🏼
Totally agree with you Aaron. I was so underwhelmed by it. It sits too close to the skin and lacks the beast mode of the original. Also couldn’t detect the plum notes. Very disappointed.
Its so sad isn't it. What do you think is going on with Estee lauder? It seams to me that they have become massively profit driven and forgot about the art.
Aaron Terence Hughes absolutely! Which is a shame because it’s a very shortsighted strategy. I certainly won’t be buying another bottle and I suspect I am not alone in this.
This comment is 3 years later, but I just got Black Orchid Parfum and the array of notes as well as projection is amazing. Maybe this just works with my skin chemistry? I'm an operations manager in a warehouse, and my coworker told me how nice i smelled, what it was, etc. and she was about 4 feet away from me across a table in a warehouse (about 350K sq/ft). I had 5 sprays on me, and this happened after about 4 hours of having the parfum on.
I am from Martinique, a small island from France where they produce the best rhum in the world and I love this fragrance. The rhum is really amazing in it with the patchouli. It smells luxurious masculine to me, nothing smells like it in the market. As a student it’s very expensive for me but i’ll buy it one day…
@@AaronTerenceHughes and that's the exact reason why, in my opinion, you're the best. I watch a lot of reviewers but they do not explain fragrances like you do. The knowledge and passion are unsurpassed.
To my nose sir, BOEDP smells like old woman at drydown just like my decant mancera black gold (feminine). BOP is unisex and versatile to wear by men. I can smell the slight booziness of the rum. Anyway, I like your hand movements that make your vids look alive. Keep it up sir.
I have the black Orchid Edp and for me is strong, i smell this parfum but is more dark and too beast, too strong. But prefer Edp beacuse is gourgeous 💜
I wanted to wear Black Orchid but feel it’s a little feminine for my personality… however, its creative ethos OOZES my personality. So it was not an option for a first fragrance for me, but was an excellent option for part of my collection
Great review, thank you Aaron 🤍 I love the original version and wear it all the time 😊 I will probably add this one to my collection too as you explained what exactly to expect really well 👍🏻🌸🙂
Never got round to getting edt version but will do for winter this year. Iike sometimes using one spray of my partners alien fusion on back of my neck and wear 4 sprays of dior savage edp nice combo. As i walk past you get the savage but with a tail of alien fusion cutting through it. Lol
I just received my bottle yesterday. I do love the initial smell giving that sweet dark scent but I as well am a little disappointed with the projection. I was hoping the parfum concentration would really jump out at you.
I got a decant of the EDP Black Orchid. I bought a used bottle of the Parfum. The EDP is so good. I wish there was a combination of that lovely chocolate and booziness. Parfum sits so close to skin. :(
U been gone way to long on RUclips haha. I got my package in on Tuesday here in Florida, usa. Love all the extra gifts you added and I can not thank you enough!
We are now doing 2 videos a week now. But I want them to be be slightly longer and more in-depth. My pleasure when you order from me you get lots of samples. Thank you for supporting my work
OMG..8/10? Really? I hope everybody, who loves Black Orchid will buy parfum version. And the concetration of people, who used to wear Black Orchid edp is going to decelerate. Thanx Aaron.
Thank you for the review Aaron. I was thinking of blind-buying this, but I won't after all (you're right, for the price you don't want to have to layer it). My fave is Velvet Orchid - veers on the feminine side, but somehow works on my skin - have you tried it?
Hi Aaron, I am Kei! Your review is great! Make me want to buy this fragrance. Btw, I’m doing some market research on influencer industry, would you mind if I ask you a couple of questions?
I just got a decant of the original last week.. To me it was far too feminine.. I couldn't understand how it could be classed as unisex.. I give my wife it and she says its too masculine 🤷🏻♂️
1 spray for each arm as the marketing TF descriptions says is very poor, if he would do his classic 5 spray for arm it would be totally another frangrance and totally another performance. just 1 spray the BO Parfum evaporates very fast and it go straight to the dry down
I have always loved black orchid and bought a bottle last year. The performance on mine is crap and I bought it from an accredited boutique at retail cost. I think the tester is the original formula and the bottles for sale are from the reformulated batch.After spraying from the tester at the boutique I once had a lady follow me across the road and into a shop to inquire what I had on. I am really disappointed with my bottle.
I told myself I wouldn't buy until you reviewed it! I adore the original black orchid but when I heard from other reviews that the gold bottle's formula downplays the truffle-ish earthy notes I was admittedly hesitant, that's my favorite facet of the original.
Great review as always Aaron! Very insightful. Just wondering if you're still working on that fragrance with Chris? Or did that get put on hold due to the state of things.. much love
I thought as much, either way I'm excited to see what comes of that collaboration and also to see what new formulations you have cooking in that unicorn kitchen of yours ❤
It's one of the few fragrances that contain Farnesol. I still didn't get what it's used for. What sort of scent does it add? Is it used to create the fake Ylang-Ylang note?
For a beautiful and challenging fragrance, get ATH Arabica. The Spanish Lavender gave me a Cedarwood and Bergemont vibe. But then the coffee and vanilla tinctures threw me off at first, but afterwards just turned gorgeous!
We ALL HAVE A COLOR 🤦♂️ mine is a blueish green. I suggest trying Mancera Red tobacco, Moncler pour Homme, Prada ocean edp or givenchy gentleman reserve privee. All 4 are completely different . But it should help you Discover what you prefer vs dislike. ✅ also try Terra Nova by Michael Malul.
It's always annoyed me when all these higher concentrations come out, the performance and/or longevity suffers so much. Heck, look at Sauvage. I wish that these companies quit milking a name to death like they do with Cool Water and Le Male.
You know one day Il just do a video where I keep a bottle of fragrance in the sun and then spray a whole bottle and just rub. You know just to trigger some people so there heads explode.
Katya Ivanova Drama Queen channel never!! Oh and store your fragrance in its own fridge. If you don’t have your own perfume fridge... well your not a serious perfume lover!!!
Could it be that the reformulation of fragrance into a lesser sillage is by design. I mean not because of the need to lower costs by using less potent and expensive compounds but because the need of progressive thinking and its desire to isolate the individual and make it less sociable? Maybe sounds silly but think about what a woke person would say? "you don't need everyone to know how you smell, its offensive"
Absolutely love this one Mr. Hughes. You wearing the fragrance around for a day before giving your reviews ads a whole new dimension that I don't see much on youtube reviews.

The EDP version is considered slightly Feminine. In fact, it was made for women but later became considered unisex.
How many sprays do you apply?
You look fresh Aaron! That new hairstyle really fits you well!

wow. Im sure you would be a great source of knowledge in youtube perfume world. Any way to follow you?
Can you do a video of how you have become a perfumer? Would really like to know that.
He already has!

100% agree and that is why I am bored of the new designer releases in the last 2-3 years
I agree with you. You cant stick a perfume or an intense version on add on £50 and not do too much to it. Its kind of lazy
The true love and respect for the art has turned into a race for the bottom

Amazingly detailed video with a personal touch as always, Aaron! If I may ask, what kind of spray routine do you recommend?
Great review!💜 I agree. I totally expected better performance.
I order this without smelling the edp I smelled the edt and was good maybe later will buy the edp version to compare great review always
Apply the EDP over the top your get a masterpiece

I wonder why they get rid of classic formulations
Hi Aaron, I am Kei! Your review is great! Make me want to buy this fragrance. Btw, I’m doing some market research on influencer industry, would you mind if I ask you a couple of questions?
I just got a decant of the original last week.. To me it was far too feminine.. I couldn't understand how it could be classed as unisex.. I give my wife it and she says its too masculine 🤷🏻♂️
It can go either way. I say rock it with confidence in a nice outfit
This literally happens with any 'unisex' fragrance I try haha
Would you do a review with more sprays 4-5?
1 spray for each arm as the marketing TF descriptions says is very poor, if he would do his classic 5 spray for arm it would be totally another frangrance and totally another performance.
just 1 spray the BO Parfum evaporates very fast and it go straight to the dry down
Thank you.....I 100% agree!!!
There are literally 1000s of fragrant orchids.
Honest review , thanks 👍
I have always loved black orchid and bought a bottle last year. The performance on mine is crap and I bought it from an accredited boutique at retail cost. I think the tester is the original formula and the bottles for sale are from the reformulated batch.After spraying from the tester at the boutique I once had a lady follow me across the road and into a shop to inquire what I had on. I am really disappointed with my bottle.
When you say the original do you mean the EDP or the EDT version?
Sounds like an interesting one, but I like your idea with it. I do love the original. A fair review mate 🙂
I love the original massively
aaron please do the dolce and gabanna light blue eau intense please review this the one for men
I told myself I wouldn't buy until you reviewed it! I adore the original black orchid but when I heard from other reviews that the gold bottle's formula downplays the truffle-ish earthy notes I was admittedly hesitant, that's my favorite facet of the original.
I gave the bottle away. Its so disappointing and sad when its built for cost.
Aaron I was going to buy it off you lol 😂
I love black orchid❤
Michael Jacksons favourite scent
Can you put timestamps in your video? Great review as usual!
Great review as always Aaron! Very insightful.
Just wondering if you're still working on that fragrance with Chris? Or did that get put on hold due to the state of things.. much love
Its on hold. Its impossible to work remotely. So not sure when we can start again.
I thought as much, either way I'm excited to see what comes of that collaboration and also to see what new formulations you have cooking in that unicorn kitchen of yours ❤
Aaron Terence Hughes ahh that’s a shame I had smoulder on my list of to buys. Will just have to wait for when it eventually comes out.
I have Tom Ford Black Orchid and I'm personally not happy with its projection.. disappointing but it smells good though
Getting this for my wife
Someone, please send Aaron a sample of Zadig & Voltaire - This is Him! :)
It's one of the few fragrances that contain Farnesol. I still didn't get what it's used for. What sort of scent does it add? Is it used to create the fake Ylang-Ylang note?
Farnesol is in some forms of Sandalwood.
@@AaronTerenceHughes Thank you for the tip!
review rochas moustache edp!
If I understood correctly you would say this one is more unisex leaning to masculine whereas the original is more unisex leaning to femenine ?
How do i get hold of your fragrances...theyre always sold out on website mate
Parfum is supposed to sit close to the skin ... I always thought 🤔
Is this unisex? I thought was! But as I was putting in my cart, it stated it was for women.
Are there legal problems with Ylang-ylang?
Let's go Aaron
For a beautiful and challenging fragrance, get ATH Arabica. The Spanish Lavender gave me a Cedarwood and Bergemont vibe. But then the coffee and vanilla tinctures threw me off at first, but afterwards just turned gorgeous!
Thank you for our kind words.
@@AaronTerenceHughes sir which one do you recommend? Black orchid edp or parfum? Im confused which one to try first.
I have black orchid edp and i love scent, but is so fragile, not long lasting. Is TF making a fool of us?
Can you suggest a scent for a 53 year old man of color (African American)
We ALL HAVE A COLOR 🤦♂️ mine is a blueish green. I suggest trying Mancera Red tobacco, Moncler pour Homme, Prada ocean edp or givenchy gentleman reserve privee. All 4 are completely different . But it should help you Discover what you prefer vs dislike. ✅ also try Terra Nova by Michael Malul.
some exotic orchids have floral scent
But not enough to extract and use as a absolute.
It's always annoyed me when all these higher concentrations come out, the performance and/or longevity suffers so much. Heck, look at Sauvage.
I wish that these companies quit milking a name to death like they do with Cool Water and Le Male.
When you say the original, are you referring to the EDT?
EDP I believe
why ... the more expensive the perfume, the worse its parameters than the cheaper ones?
Not always the case but in this case yes.
So many times i feel that the parfum is not that gold as the eau the parfum ..
A parfum stays closer 2 you body!
*Parfum or Edp?*
Great review, Aaron. I just did a vid on this a couple days ago. By all means, feel free to check it out
Rub the perfume, is correct or incorrect?
Incorrect. It destroys the top notes.
Wipe it off and spray on some Onyx 😂👏🏻
I agree with you on that!!!! I love Onyx I wore it last night on a social distancing date and it really drifts lovely in the rainy Manchester weather
Great Thumbnail
Thats video unicorn. Isn't he amazing. He does all my graphics and videos. Im super lucky to have him as an employee and a friend
Myth about "don't rub perfume into your skin" still alive!😂
You know one day Il just do a video where I keep a bottle of fragrance in the sun and then spray a whole bottle and just rub. You know just to trigger some people so there heads explode.
I believe Roja Dove says not to do this...
@@AaronTerenceHughes 😆✋⛔ and "don't shake your perfume - it will change molecular formula!!"
Katya Ivanova Drama Queen channel never!! Oh and store your fragrance in its own fridge. If you don’t have your own perfume fridge... well your not a serious perfume lover!!!
@@AaronTerenceHughes 😂😂😂adore you!😘🦄🦄🦄
Wow, another swing and a miss for Tom Ford. Getting a little too corporate.
Tom Ford has not been a creative director for his brand for a while.
Estee Lauder is in charge of making Tom Ford fragrance now
Estee Lauder? Ugh!
Naboo Licious yeah
You can google it. A lot of company has bought big brands of fragrance, from niche to indie house
I aggree with you. This is clearly a case of money before art
Could it be that the reformulation of fragrance into a lesser sillage is by design. I mean not because of the need to lower costs by using less potent and expensive compounds but because the need of progressive thinking and its desire to isolate the individual and make it less sociable? Maybe sounds silly but think about what a woke person would say? "you don't need everyone to know how you smell, its offensive"
