The quest for exceptional rarity. Black Orchid Reserve unites the scent of the original TOM FORD Black Orchid with a midnight-blooming Ghost Orchid accord in a powerful revelation that captures the pure intensity of two elusive blooms.
“The original Black Orchid achieved legendary status as it defined a new floral expression that was completely unexpected and unparalleled. Black Orchid Reserve is a celebration of the iconic classic fragrance and introduces a glamorous costar: the Ghost Orchid accord. We started by exploring deeper, darker tonalities of black and doubled the dosage of the signature Black Orchid accord. This amplified the note’s rich, elegant floral essence of fierce seduction. It is striking.” — Yann Vasnier, Master Perfumer
To set the stage for Black Orchid Reserve’s deeper, darker chypre floral dimension, TOM FORD’s signature Black Orchid accord is dialed up and amplified. An increased dosage of ylang ylang adds new luminosity, its sparkling floralcy flecked with effervescent timut pepper. A blackened roasted tonka note smolders in the background while a black truffle accord exudes an elegant earthiness. The rich woody quality of patchouli mingles with amber tones.
