HEART NOTES: Black Orchid / BASE NOTES: Patchouli / HEAD NOTES: Black Plum / GENDER: Women / Iconic. Unattainable. Sparkling. Black Orchid Eau De Toilette is a completely unexpected encounter at first. Experience its seductive entrance in a new light with its very own olfactory journey. Long-lasting, with a more open, immediate expression, Tom Ford's individual Black Orchid immediately takes the stage and invites you in a way you've never experienced with the classic signature fragrance before. The first impression is very pronounced, with the tangy, flowery tuberose unfolding its full florality from the start. How to use: The scent is enhanced by the warmth of your own body. For a longer lasting, more intense scent, apply to the crook of your knees and elbows. Avoid rubbing or dabbing the skin after application, as this will break down the scent and allow it to wear off more quickly. If you prefer to place the scent on your wrists, you will need to reapply after frequent hand washing as this will help to rinse the scent away.
