Black Orchid by Tom Ford Eau De Parfum For Women, 50 ml

Product Information

The one big difference is that on my skin this parfum stays closer to the opening and mid versus the OG. After a very long time the original dies down on my skin to a pleasant sweet vanilla whereas the parfum retains more of it's character. To make sure that you are buying an original batch, I want to share with you some major differences between original and fake batches, that will definitely save you money and frustration. The whole appearance reminds of a luxurious, boss type of vibes, with its minimalistic yet mysterious look — it will sit beautifully on your bedroom shelf. I made the mistake of only smelling this on a tester strip before buying it. It smelled much earthier on paper versus the original eau de parfum version, but on my skin the two are extremely similar, the parfum not really earthier at all. Many people also smelled the truffle (mushroom) note, which has a musky, ambery, animalic scent, and even though my nose didn’t detect it, it doesn’t seem yours won’t.

I compared the two of them side by side (one tiny spritz on each wrist) earlier this morning, and it was immediately apparent that the Parfum was behaving better. It's rounder, creamier and more chocolatey, it wants to seduce you. Finally, for the next few hours I can detect a vanillic boozy note- it's not overpowering since the earthy chocolate and fruit are still there, but it adds a nice "come sniff me again and again" aspect to the fragrance. All in all, even though I don't get a huge difference between the parfum and the EDP, I'm not terribly disappointed. Now I have about 200 ml instead of only 100 ml of a fragrance that's really enjoyable to my nose! 😊👍 Definitely an exclusively night-time scent, can't wait for clubs to reopen so I can wear this out, it has such a magnetic quality to it. The performance is something you have no reason to be worried about when it comes to this magnificent beast. Once you apply it in the morning, you don’t need to worry if the scent is going to fade away before dinner, because it won’t.The majority of people are used to applying numerous sprays of the perfume, thinking it will make the fragrance last longer and project louder. A number of sprays that are needed for a fragrance to open properly and give you its best performance vary from scent to scent. ALCOHOL DENAT, FRAGRANCE (PARFUM), WATER/AQUA/EAU, BHT, LINALOOL, LIMONENE, CINNAMYL ALCOHOL, CITRONELLOL, COUMARIN, GERANIOL, EUGENOL, FARNESOL, BENZYL BENZOATE, HYDROXYCITRONELLAL, BENZYL SALICYLATE, BENZYL CINNAMATE, CITRAL, ISOEUGENOL, BENZYL ALCOHOL, CINNAMAL, ANISE ALCOHOL * Projection was close to your bubble, so was sillage. This will be a scent that doesn't reach across a room- but anyone walking side by side with your or sitting across a restaurant table will be able to catch whiffs of this. Longevity was excellent. Applying at 8PM and a shower later, I woke up the next day and could still smell this on my skin.

A sweet amber-vanilla accord emerges as it dries down, with soft spices and booziness remaining as it fades. Sillage is fairly strong and longevity is long-lasting. Ideally worn during autumn/winter. The projection is also satisfactory, in the first 2 to 3 hours it evolves beautifully around you, and with the silage being strong as well, people a few feet away from you will have no issue detecting it.

My Account

At the bottom, you will find a serial number on both boxes, but on the original, you can see the batch code engraved in the box, while the fake one doesn’t contain one, which is a major difference. On clean skin, spray once or twice on desired areas. Do not rub the fragrance on skin, as this can alterhow the fragrance develops.
