I’ve had samples of the edp for years around the house and sprayed it here and there but never really got the hype. I decided to wear it to bed one night (which is the best way I’ve found to test fragrances.) I was blown away and bought a bottle the next day. I finally get the hype. I need to smell the edt.
I am a man and I do the same thing ..I wear a fragrance to bed and I enjoy the notes like a song if I still smell it on me the next morning its a keeper ...!!!!
I bought it in 2006 when it first came out, I had just gotten my first bonus from my first job and I ran over to Saks Fifth Ave and bought the EDP.I still have the empty bottle in my drawer. I loved it so much, but I remember my Mother thought it smelled like cough syrup.
I went into Sephora looking to buy another fragrance but it was out of stock. I saw Black Orchid EDP and remembered that I had wanted to smell it based on reviews. OMG. I immediately and LITERALLY gasped at how much I loved it right off the bat. I bought the travel size right there to try it and test it and I can confidentially say that it has got to be one of my favorite fragrances of all time. Wow. It really is a must smell.
This one I was like... ewwww too much patchouli then I was like I NEED that patchouli! It is a straight up addictive fragrance. I have the edt and a sample of the edp. It’s in the same category as Noir de Noir for me. Such a stunner!!!
I just got a sample of the edp. I had to wash it off immediately. Is it just my nose? It smells like something an old grandpa would wear. I don't understand.
The drydown is lovely (layering it with Montale Chocolate Greedy makes my eyes roll in my head), but something is high pitched/headachy for a while before the perfume starts rounding out. I wonder if it's the vetiver. Thanks for the review!
Thank you for this review. I have owned the edp for over a year and I am still trying to understand this fragrance fully. This has helped me articulate parts of the experience I have when wearing it 😊
Hey Arlene 👋 I am so glad you revisited TF Black Orchid EDP... I too think this is a true masterpiece, & I am quiet addicted to it myself! And yes it belongs in every true perfumistas collection!! 👏👏👏👏👏 Take Care ❤🙌❤🙌❤
It’s linked to a good moment for me. I will forever love it. I bought it back in 15/12/2010 I was in my way to the US to start my journey to study in Boston. In the plane I saw they are selling it so I got it. Now when I smell it I just remember the old good days. I was young and I was going to a lane I never knew.
I love 🖤 Black Orchid. It is so unique. I got a 30 day supply from Royalty Scents. They have the older formula EDP before it was watered down and reformulated. The one I have lasts.
was looking for this review... thank u so much. In the middle east sephora the EDP version is sold as a mens fragrance!!🤔 not sure why.. but i love both version on a women. can u advise how long the edt version lasts on skin?
I don't understand people hating Black Orchid. I need a scent that is bottom heavy. Other kinds make me nauseous if they're not bottom heavy. This is my fave
JMornan Beauty It's one of those fragrances for people who got money but not taste at all, like Gucci dresses. " look at me, I smell like a new rich " , opulent without class
If I had the money I’d buy everything Tom Ford has made. For me Tom Ford creates magic. I wear Noir Extreme and Black Orchid. I keep three back ups of Noir Extreme. I’m so afraid it’ll be discontinued.
I 🖤Black Orchid. I have a 30 day supply from Royalty Scents. They have the original version that lasts. It has now been reformulated and has very little longevity. I have never tried the EDT.
Do you still have the box for the edp? I'd be curious to know the batch codes on the bottom The bottle has one batch code but the box has 2 on the bottom flap (one is an alphanumeric 3 digit code and the other is a 5 digit numeric code. They're separated by a slash. I bought a 50 ml from Costco and it's a 2017 bottle. I'm wondering if the nearly 3 year old date of the bottle took its toll on the performance. *What kind of performance are you getting from edp in terms of projection hours?*
Have you ever reviewed the Mon Guerlain perfumes? I'm really interested in Sensualle...but it would end up being a blind but because Ive never smelled it...just basing on reviews... Black Orchid doesn't react with my chemistry...I've tried it. :-(

Lol cough syrup ☺️

Take Care ❤🙌❤🙌❤
Nice video as always! Question Do you find the chocolate note more pronounced in the edp, edt or in both the same?
Hmm...I think the chocolate note is just a bit sweeter in the edt than edp on me 😊
Thanks!
I use the EDP for special occasions just to add more power to my confidence! God I love the drydown and yes men can rock it nicely!

The edp for drama and the edt for sexy

BrighterThanYours So sorry. I typed my comment on your comment by mistake.
I didn’t realize there is an EDT version until recently which I’ll be adding to my collection, the EDP can be a little too much for me :)
I just realized I had an Ept sample and I bought the edp. The edt was very nice.
Thank you thank you THANK you answering this question. You saved me

A very strong but beautiful EDP ik really love it ! The EDT i never smelled ,must try it some time

I prefer EDP. love your reviews. Please review TF Noir de Noir. - Thanks
If you have to chose bettwen Black orchidée edp and coco noir what is yours ? Thank you very much
Hmm...I'd prefer the Black Orchid 😍
Are black orchid and coco noir similar in any way?? I had coco noir and im very curious of what black orchid smells like😭
Petaly Noir by Harvey Prince is very good dupe for TF Black Orchid with a more affordable price
EDT is for me better 👍
What is you perfum for summer ?
Do you still have the box for the edp?

Love them both 😍
Does the edt have a chocolate note?
Love both ❤
EDP all the way for me.
richer , denser and more fuller.
What batch of your bottle for the EDP?
Does a little go a long way?
Have you ever reviewed the Mon Guerlain perfumes? I'm really interested in Sensualle...but it would end up being a blind but because Ive never smelled it...just basing on reviews... Black Orchid doesn't react with my chemistry...I've tried it. :-(
Hi yes its à biautiful perfum
Seems like lately both are discontinued
It’s at Sephora.
So not for men ?
LEYKIS 101
Tried it (edp) several times and uh... kind of stinks :(

I would never wear a unisex perfume/cologne....Nothing worse than being in a club and the woman walks up smelling just like you.....Sorry.
