‘I intend to create the first true luxury brand of the 21st century,’ says Tom Ford, who has just launched Black Orchid, his first perfume under his own name. For the designer, the black orchid – a rare, hybrid bloom – has the most desirable fragrance of all. Voluptuously garbed in notes of truffle, incense and dark chocolate, it comes in a luxuriously dark, pure bottle.
The sensual opening note of truffle is blended with ylang-ylang. The combines the intensity of flowers with the lushness of fruit and lotus wood. The oriental drydown, with its ‘decadently gourmand spirit’ exults in woods, vanilla and dark chocolate.
Eau de Parfum 1.7 and 3.4 fl. oz.; Perfume 1 oz. in a Lalique crystal bottle.
A classic yet contemporary jet-black bottle. Finely fluted, it is adorned with a golden plaque bearing the designer’s monogram.
