Black Orchid was created by perfume creators of fragrance company
Givaudan
in 2006. It was announced as oriental chypre. The top notes are French
jasmine, black truffle, ylang-ylang, black currant and effervescent
citrus. In the floral-spicy heart, dwells the
Tom Ford's
black orchid,
imaginary more than real, and the base combines woodsy notes (patchouli
and sandalwood), dark chocolate, incense, amber, vetiver, vanilla and
balsam.
"
Black Orchid is opulent, classically dark; its fragrance is
in line with the best creations of the best perfume houses. Luxurious
and sensual fragrance with rich dark trace of
black orchid and spices, modern and timeless. " It remains to be said that
Black Orchid is long lasting and with wide spread aura.
"This is not about an ordinary orchid, it's about something a little
more strange and rare. I wanted the blackest orchid, and those aren't
easy to find." The perfume is luxurious and the product range includes
Eau de Parfum in 50ml (at US$90) and 100ml (at US$135) bottles, and
limited edition of 5.000 15ml bottles of Parfum at US$600. The
