Dark & decadent. Not for everyone and I must say I loved the richness and could see this on a man as well. Not for the weak at heart
Absolutely awful. Smells like old lady perfume & made my eyes water so bad. Had to break out the inhaler, too.
Not for me. I second smells like old ladys purse.
Very Light Fragrance works well with my chemistry.
Hate the scent
Very strong and old lady smelling
Terrible!!!! Smells worse than a 90 year old grandma's purse!!!! Yuck! Do not recommend!!!
Its a great everyday fragrance. Its not too floraly, which i love; and it isn't toos mack ya in the face strong like another one i tried
It smells spicy like peppery. I don't like it at all, however I had alot of women complimented me on it but they were older generation women. My husband did not like it that much either.
My absolute favorite so far. Very deep and intriguing scent Reminds me a bit of Chanel cocomademsale
Good fragrance but was just wasnt for me
I am enjoying this scent immensely! I like the Violet Orchid but the Blsck Orchid has more depth and seems to wear longer.
Idk, it just wasn’t for me. I generally like the more mature scents but this one wasn’t it
I smell root beer when first sprayed. After it dries it’s quite nice but I don’t really have words for it. It’s not a very memorable fragrance for me.
It has a very strong, dark and overwhelming scent. It’s for a more mature demographic in my opinion. Unfortunately, I did not like it.
Gorgeous scent so dark and deep! I cant tell you all how much I love this one. The dry down is amazing so sexy and luxurious. I will be purchasing the full size bottle of this
Definitely not. Smell for me.
It's nice but not for me.
My wife's favorite Tom Ford perfume for fall and winter
It's an interesting scent. Wasn't expecting it to smell like it does. It has grown on my and I have received compliments. Love how strong of a smell it has.
This is not a subtle fragrance. it is heady and to me a bit on the exotic side. I do like it, but not for an every day scent. It can be a bit overpowering
It's a strong intense fragrance..It reminded me of A fragrance of my youth . Opium..which I liked
Thought it smelled manly not girlie like I normally get.
Scent was terrible. Strong projection and long lasting. The scent was nothing like i was expecting.
Just bad. I love strong scents and perfumes but this one made me feel nauseous. I’m sure it’s for someone, but it’s not for me.
It's not a bad smell, but it's definitely not MY smell. It's grown on me since I got my sample, bit I definitely won't purchase a big bottle. It's a much more mature scent than what I'm quite ready for
This is a beautiful perfume. This isn't for the young or the unaccomplished. This isn't an everyday office scent. Instead, it's an anniversary...a birthday...a first date. It has deep vanilla undertones which allow one's presence to be known but it's not overbearing.
It’s nice for a night out, but it’s not a signature scent. There’s almost too many things going on at once that can make it a little overwhelming.
I love it and will definitely buy again
Not for sure if I like it or not. It’s a little overwhelming at first and then fades and seems nice. Just not sure if it’s for me. It’s a little strong on the spicy notes.
Really just too much, I was looking for floral
Love love love!!!
Meh. It's ok. I can't quite decide if I like it or not. It's initially strong and fades quickly.
Doesn’t excite me. Feel like the scent doesn’t last long. Can’t put my finger on what it is that turns me off.
Not for me. It’s for more mature ladies I think.
i love it
This scent was not for me..too powdery and musky but also this odd floral scent I can't put my finger on but for me it's not it. I did end up keeping it for a friend and I'm sure this is for others but not for me and am glad I have the ability to try out a small amount before purchasing a big bottle!
its beautiful fragrance i love it.
I love it in the winter time it will be perfect
I received compliments on it but personally, I did not like the smell. It was a little too mature smelling for my preference. When I first sprayed it, it was so strong that I was trying to wave it away.
It's a bit overpowering. This may be a scent for a more seasoned group of ladies. The scent is a lot mature.
Too spicy for my taste.
love this scent
I LOVE perfume, but not this one. I think it kind of smells like black licorice. It smells cheap. like the body sprays people buy at the dollar store. I'm exchanging it for something else.
Smells old, peppery, and black licorice. Not an appealing smell at all!
My least favorite Tom Ford fragrance! It’s almost manly.
A classic floriental scent, warm, spicy, and sensuous. It has moderate longevity, but stays close to the body, so works in many settings. I really like it because it reminds me of ysl opium, which I love but can’t wear because it turns rank with my body chemistry.
I really enjoy this when I’m heading out for the evening…. It’s sultry, not too sultry..
This is my favorite scent!
It does smell nice but it doesn't seem to work well with me
mature
This has definitely been one of my favorite scents. It's almost a feminine leaning unisex scent. It has some mysteriousness to it. A bit warm and dark but soft and pleasant. I took one star off because it doesn't last as long as I'd like, but still a really good one. I like to keep this in my fall/winter rotation.
Just doesn’t smell right on me, it’s very old lady to me- I even had my coworker smell it to make sure it wasn’t just me as well as trying it several times but on my skin it’s powdery and the florals aren’t right FOR ME!! I’m sure this works great for others and was very surprised when I didn’t like it
Love it! A little dark than what I usually go for, but was absolutely surprised how much I love it. The only scent that's stayed on me for longer than 2 hours. Definitely recommend.
It's very peppery I don't hate it but I don't love it If your looking for something with a bit more pepper to it then it's an excellent choice
I wanted to love this one so bad, but it just isn’t for me. The floral notes are too strong and don’t play well with my natural skin chemistry. I’m sure this is lovely for others and so many will be able to rock it, I’m just not one of them.
Just what I was hoping for deep sensual and lux.
I did not have a good opinion on this
This perfume clearly has its target audience, but I am not it. Before I tried this one, I could truthfully say I never met a perfume I hated. Sickly sweet and cloying.
Love the smell of this perfume! First one I picked and I am a happy girl! My husband did say that it smelled a little like men’s cologne but later said it smelled good!
Love the scent long lasting you don't have to use much spicy
This is top 5 colognes in my collection. Love the fact that it's unisex. Wife and I both love the scent and longevity through the day. You get what you pay for!
Just really not for me
OK fragrance. Smells best o cold days.
This was my first tom ford scent, and I'm very impressed! It smells so unique, definitely worth trying! ??
I love the smell of this perfume. It is very bold and musky.
Not for me. Scent is too bold and in your face type of scent.
Got this one for my wife, and we both absolutely love it! 10/10
My favorite! Sexy and classic scent that lasts all day!
I'm not a super fan of the masculine tone it gives off but everyone loves and compliment me so I'll take it
Strong and sophisticated. This is a potent scent that will last all day.
Gross. Smells like a cross of Channell with old spice but not in a good way at all. I sprayed it and then was mad at myself for the rest of the day because I couldn’t get rid of the awful smell.
Smells great but strong Lasts all day received multiple compliments
Loved this. More masculine but I wore it till its last drop
I love this fragrance.
To me it has a very lotion smell to it, instead of what you'd typically expect from a perfume. If anyone remembers the black raspberry vanilla lotion from bath and body works, it pretty much smells identical to that. It's a nice warm sexy scent, younger people might find it a bit more mature though.
Smells really good, but it is super strong! I accidentally sprayed it getting out of my car before walking into my office and my coworkers got mad at me lol. I had to go wipe some off in the bathroom. I didn’t think I sprayed that much. I guess a little goes a long way. The scent is a mature, grown woman scent but not stuffy and granny-ish.
It comes in hot like old licorice that has been sitting in Nana's hand bag since 1945. It does settle in by the end of the day and has a long shelf life unlike Nana.
Very very strong. A little good a long way and it lasts a long time. A little too grandma for me, I don't like this scent.
A little to sophisticated for my taste but my mother loved it
Smells to much like men’s cologne, not for a women!
Love it!
Super long-lasting, warm scent.
Very strong and exotic. Long lasting.
my sister loves it!!
It's a nice scent but I think it's more of a scent for my mom than me.
This perfume smells like black licorice. Way too strong, not feminine in my opinion.
Enchanting and alluring
Nice smell but also strong. If I could do a half of spray it would be better.
I purchased this fragrance based off the reviews and I must admit that I’m not a fan of this product. It’s definitely a NO for me! My grandmother would probably like this fragrance, it’s more up her alley.
Absolutely one of my favorites. The opening is strong and smells good. The dry down it just keeps getting better and the smell changes!!
This is my favorite perfume! It almost has a fruity floral scent that is indescribable. It lasts all day and I get so many compliments!
I have a new favorite scent!!
Very strong and long lasting scent! I like how it is kind of "spicy" in a way.
Wonderful Scent
I don't normally go for this kind of scent the spicy Oriental smell. But I was pleasantly surprised I really like this one it smells wonderful on me it lasts a long time I really like this. Everyone step out of your comfort zone and try different fragrances in different categories you will be pleasantly surprised not all will be great but what I thought I didn't like I was wrong. Take the time to educate yourself on perfumes smells the different wordings the different families and what things mean I know it doesn't work for me I don't like that powdery smell and I had to find out what made that smell so I don't choose perfumes with that in it. Remember what it smells like in a bottle is not always what it's going to smell like on you perfume works with your body chemistry and smells different on different people. And it matters when you put it on and where you put it on if you're clean or if you put it on a long time after a shower just take a few minutes and educate yourself on perfume it will help you make better choices. And take chances these make great gifts if you don't like it you can always gift it.
Not for me. Very potent, too strong fragrance. Reminded me of my great aunt...who, when she gives you a hug, sufficates you with her perfume. Its not the scent that sucks, the smell is strong patchouli. But it assaults your nose. I like to be able to smell my perfume, not burn my nose hairs off.
Although this fragrance is not exactly "my type", I appreciate its ingredients and found it to be the perfect gift for a friend, who prefers stronger scents. She loves it!
Love love love! And I rarely ever review out of 2 years of receiving scentbox! I wasn’t sure initially but the more it sat on my skin the better it got! And it’s still strong after just a test spritz. I literally keep catching myself smelling it and had to write this review.
I love Tom Ford's Ombre Leather for men & thought this would compliment with my husband's cologne, but I was terribly mistaken. This was too mature and musty for me & hubby did not care for it. I would not purchase it again.
A mature and elegant scent. At first spray it could be very strong and off putting. I got a spicy/herbal scent at first. If you can stand the scent long enough to wait for the dry down, it does get much better because the sharp scent dies down significantly. It's still a little too mature for me though.
Hated it. The first time it was sprayed it smelled okay. But the times after that awful. Husband hates it too. Lol powdery mature
Not for me. The patchouli was really overwhelming for me. But I’m very sensitive to it. Great fragrance though. Very long lasting.
Very intriguing complex fragrance. I was not sure I would like it at first sniff, but it keeps drawing me back. It’s not for everyone as they say but both my mother and I like it !
Terrible! Smells like an old lady
Not for me.
I get sooo many compliments when I wear this scent!! Definitely one of my all time faves ????
I really like this...If people say this is for old ladies, than I must be old, because it smells rich, spicy and sweet and I basically want to wear it everyday.
Meh, while it was strong and spicy, it was giving older woman fragrance. I like it, but not for me. Going to gift this one to my mom who would love this scent, it almost reminds me of her White Diamonds perfume.
My absolute favorite! I feel sexy and confident wearing this. I could roll in it I swear
Not my favorite, kind of has the old lady smell
Delightful and a little spice. I like it.
Love it!
Unusual smell at first but then I really liked it but unfortunately it’s Not long lasting
Incredible
I really liked it after it dried down.
I really wanted to like it, but didn’t. I mean don’t get me wrong. It was a nice scent but more for like older people I think anyway, I will enjoy the small amount I got, and keep looking.
Way too strong and offensive to my smell preferences, just not for me.
At first I was like woah Then after it settled, I loved it!!
Hated this! I couldn't scrub it off my arm fast enough...although I did wait for it to dry down, hoping it would improve. Just not for me.
Not a scent for me. At first I thought I’d like it and could get use to it as the day went on but I did not like it.
Not a scent for me. At first I thought it was OK but it dries down very powdery on me and I do not care for it at all. It does last along time though.
Not my favorite. It really does smell older. It’s very strong and long lasting though!
The patchouli is overwhelming at first. Very strong. Very grandma esque. Smells nice after HOURS though if you are willing to wait. Not my favorite by far.
This scent is very woody, but not in the way I was hoping. It is damp smelling, almost.
Very spicy. Like a concentrated YSL Opium.
The scent is strong up front but once it settles it’s delightful. My man loves it . Will buy again.
I didn't like this when I sprayed it on the first time, but as it sat it faded a bit. The scent after the bit of fade time is great. Not my favorite, but I would purchase.
i HAted this scent, reminded me of dustballs and my grandmas house with pot purri everywhere
This is a classy smell just a big strong for me.
Wonderful fragrance series so good love ?? it
I didnt like this one at all. The smell is over powering and this has very mature lady vibes, and this is coming from an old lady lol. I gave it 2 stars cause it does last all day. I would recommend if you like powdery musky scents.
The notes are over powered by heavy Musk. Really I don't smell any of the floral notes. It reminds me of something my grandmother would wear.
This fragrance is my new signature fragrance. I love this scent and so does my hubby.
This scent is definitely aimed toward an older female audience. I am in my 40's and I felt like this smelled like something a grandmother would wear. Upscale scent, but not very modern, more classic.
This is a luxurious scent. It is dark and mysterious to me. Definitely best for a night out..or if you want to be that girl at work that no one really knows well..but they want to..I was hit with fruity notes first
I loved it! The smell was just enough to stop people in there tracks only to begin to figure out the smell ...office is perfect to move around will leave a scent..ha ha sadly, days later on my way to leave to work i found it popped out from case and leaked ALL of the product out ?? On the silver lining, I would recommend the scent is strong lasting level low medium. For instance, good 3 hours depending on your activity personally. I work in a hotel front desk and Texas weather has been over 107 ..and still got compliments!!
I loved this scent & got a lot of compliments on it at work. I feel like it’s the perfect scent to wear for a little black dress dinner date on a warm summer night. It’s very strong & lasts the whole day so I recommend just one spray on a wrist & dabbing that wrist over other places to disperse.
Way to strong very mature smell
Absolutely horrible! I burnt my nostrils I returned immediately. I was so excited for this scent too!
I’ve always loved this fragrance! Very strong masculine yet feminine scent!!
I don’t like it
Smelled nice. Wasn't my favorite.
At first spray I didn't like it but as it died down I was able to smell the notes better. I can smell the orchid and patchouli strongly. So, it's unique and that's why I like it. I personally would buy the full bottle.
I love this fragrance!!
I didn't care for it at all. Couldn't really tell if it was for a man or woman. I actually gave it to my brother.
I didn't like this personally on me. My chemistry calls for a more gourmand/ sweet oriental, and this was a more spicy. It wears down and the middle floral notes are nice so I gave it a 3. It's actually a very unique scent, and I can only say it just doesn't smell right on me.
Too strong for me which cheapens it's smell. It's reminiscent of the old Avon fragrance named Timeless. Gag!
Lots of compliments
It’s okay, a mature fragrance. Only a little is needed.
Loved this unique scent. Got a lot of compliments!!
Ill be honest... i got this scent cause im an ateez fan and since San (and Wooyoung) have used it I was curious lol. Its not my type of scent to wear normally at all lol. But i can still give a thorough review. If I could describe it I do think its pretty unisex, its like a spicy Christmas flower smell minus the orange and cranberry you would find in those types of Christmas scents. And its not really a strong floral its more spicy Christmas than floral. I hope people understand my description. Its not a bad scent but if you normally like to wear sweet gourmand or bakery or fruity scents this is not for you. I was just curious lol but i wanted to keep it i didn't want to exchange it lol. So for myself because it is ateez related (in my head) and it is a nice scent i give it 4 stars. But i dont actually wear it. Hopefully this review was descriptive enough as well as gave some people a laugh.
Love this smell!
Strong but lasts all day
Very strong and seems more like a fragrance for older women
Very deep and beautiful!
I absolutely love this fragrance. It is full of personality. Very different than most of the perfumes you can find out there. And I would say it lasts pretty long. Probably star to change some after the first 6 hours, but it is still great in my opinion.
Did not like this one. Not with initial spray or dry down. Smells extremely mature. I was very disappointed, I was pretty excited about this one. I ended up returning and switching it out.
I loved it! It is complex but pretty. It remains for a long time. I definitely might buy the full size. It's something I would've never tried but glad I did!
To each their own but this is a strong No for me. It smells like an old woman and black licorice. It very off putting and gives me the worse headache. I’m going to see if someone else like this scent and give it to them or return it.
At first I didn't think I would be a fan- it's a complex fragrance with incredible performance, so the first spray can seem too much with that truffle note. But once it dries down- what a gorgeous floral, woody fragrance!
This is one of my favorites. It is very different and unique. It has a strong personality. A signature scent. Only a confident woman can carry this scent. I smell the orchid, which seems to be an almost startling scent, because it sits in there with some earthier scents. Maybe leather? Chocolate? Wine? It's all things rich, pleasant and representative of the finer things in life.
I didn't like it at first but after the dry down it is amazing. I thought it was too strong and mature, but it really is heavenly! It lasts for days too. I get so many compliments.
Somewhere between grandma and dollar store scent
Love it but doesn’t last very long
Absolutely love! When I first sprayed it into the air I didn't like it, but once it hit my skin gggiiirrrlllll, the scent completely changed! It's classic, it's soft, it's floral, it's spicy, I would wear this forever if I could. Just wish the spillage was further but I love to waft into a room ??
I am in love with this. It is a dark yet sophisticated and seductive. I wasn't sure of it at first spray but it smooths out like a fine tobacco smell mixed with leather with floral notes. It lasts a while too. I really am digging this one.
I put this on and then had to wash it off the smell made me sick.
Lots of different notes, smells better on then by spraying. Smells like it’s more geared to older women. Not a big fan
Beautiful scent and super long lasting! Love it!
Was just way too strong and old smelling for me
This just wasn’t good for me. It smells old and somewhat manly! I think it would be amazing on men.
This scent is amazing. Very sophisticated/rustic scent and lasts all day. I worked a 10 hour shift and after I got home, my husband said I still smelled amazing. I am a huge fan of anything Tom Ford, the quality is always top tier.
Old lady. I wish that “funeral” was an option for the occasion. It gave me a headache and I had to take a shower to get the smell off. So disappointing.
Too much must for our taste.
Right when you spray it on, it's not a great smell on me but after 10 or 15 minutes is settles into my skin and is absolute heaven! I'll see how I feel after a few weeks but I'm thinking of buying a full size bottle already! And it lasts all day!
Smells like old old woman. And worse is that its longevity is everlasting! :(
I really disliked this. It gave me a headache
I found the opening of this to be a bit off putting. Black current (sometimes called cassis) can have a kind of cat urine smell. It didn't have a strong odor more damp soil and slightly cat pee. I have other fragrances that contain black current and I don't get that from them so perhaps it's the amount or combination with other ingredients. Just like taste, everyone is different in what their nose picks up so I would encourage you to try it before you invest in a full bottle. Once the opening goes away the fragrance settles down to a more pleasant experience although it does not project much or last a long time on my skin.
It's not for me
This smells absolutely delicious!
Absolutely amazing !
For grown women only. Very sexy scent.
Too Musky and did not last long!
not feminine. Very musky
Too strong. Not feminine enough for me. Smells like an older generation. Very musky. Overpowering
I wasn't sure I would like this one based on the reviews, but man do I love it! It's a very sultry, mysterious scent that borders on masculine while still maintaining it's feminity. I love how it settled on my skin and blended with my body chemistry. I also love that It smells strong enough to be appreciated but not strong enough to knock the whole room out!
No. No. NO. Extremely strong horrible old smell. Stays on skin. Just no.
Wheeeew...very strong..I wouldn't mind if I actually enjoyed the scent itself.
This is now my favorite scent and I JUST bought a full bottle of something else, wish I had waited a week. I absolutely love how it lingers and how it smells on my skin. It did not smell powdery at all to me.
Loved the smell! Very strong so you don’t have to spray much and the smell lasts all day. I get a lot of compliments
Did not like this scent at all. It is very overpowering and just didn't work well with my skin.
This gorgeous scent lingers to hit every note. Sensual and woodsy with feminine notes of citrus and gentle floral. Not powdery or aged, and blends well with natural pheromones. This warm fragrance danced well on my skin and left me in my happy place.
Did not like it on my skin and took forever to wear out.
Love the scent! It’s very sexy.
Smells terrible, couldn't wait to wash it off
Smells like grandma
So sophisticated and romantic
I love this scent… it a mature smell I get many compliments from it, it last all day
I love the rich scent of it. It has that mature woman smell I love. Long lasting and I keep getting asked what is that your wearing. Definitely will reorder.
Smells like licorice, not my favorite
Smells unique and sophisticated. Not too strong but rich in aroma.
This was not the Scent I was hoping for. Its very Strong, it reminded me of Black Pepper and Cinnamon. Its not a horrible scent but just not for me.
Very strong. It’s not horrible but it’s a mature musky, spicy floral scent.
I loooove this scent! It's a dark, mysterious, sexy vibe.. it sprays on kinda fruity but then once it settles the musk stands out. Perfect for a date night, sexy evening with ur partner for sure! Always get compliments with this one and definitely have been approached while wearing this more times than when I wear anything else. Just wish it lasted longer on me.
A little too woodsy and masculine for my taste, but certainly not a bad scent at all. Just a matter of taste. Also a little more of a mature fragrance.
Nice floral after it's been on for a while but is quite over powering at first. A little bit definitely will go a long way.
Musky and overpowering to the point it nauseated me when I first put it on, as the top notes dissolve it becomes a less powerful and more alluring scent. Long lasting but I would not purchase a full size bottle
Very strong - isn’t my favorite, but not bad at all. It is a sultry fragrance and not one for every day use. I definitely pick it up for night time outings. Longevity and projection is great.
Very musky, best recommended for mature skin. Very long lasting.
Smells super strong and spicy when you first put it on everyone can smell it. after an hour the scent calms down and smells a little bit like chocolate but after 3 hours there’s no smell
Doesn't smell good at all. ??
I absolutely love this. I was worried I wouldn't. It's like a goth girl floral and it stays a long time.
If I could give it 0 I would ?? this scent was not for me, it is very strong like headaches strong.! I wouldn't even buy this for my grandmother that's how unappealing this fragrances is... #sorrynotsorry
Smell horrible on my skin
Its very mature and too musky for me. Great lasting power just wish it had less musk.
My new favorite!
I love this scent. This is going to be my signature scent
Eay to strong for my taste but does smell elegant
Long lasting, great smelling fragrance. I can say its my new favorite.
This fragrance grew on me. When I first smelled it, I didn’t like it but then ended up liking it after wearing it. It smells a little in the masculine side but I like it.
Beautiful, warm & sweet smell, great for fall and winter months for date night! I love that it radiates from the skin and I received so many compliments the first day I wore it!
Nice, but not my taste. More of a mature scent. Very musky and leans on the masculine side.
Returned, definitely wasn't my style! Very strong, very powery, peppery. I like sweeter, warmer scents and I hate pepper and this didn't fit me.
Smell was too strong, and very unpleasant for my taste
Did nit like this one
Very elegant
First time trying Tom Ford smells good not as sweet as I am used to wearing but smells really good.
Wanted to love. Very spicy/musky for my chemical balance. Sweet upper notes, but the heavier spice notes over power the orchid.
Smells old lady ish to me
This is my go-to for date night! Love it!!
I exchanged this one. It just wasn't a scent I would ever wear. It is too old for me.
My favorite!!
LOVE IT LONG LASTING LOTS OF COMPLIMENTS ????????
I think the smell was okay once I sprayed it on my skin. It just was not a scent I would wear because it seems more for a woman 50+. I kept it because it does smell good, but I want to play around with how it smells paired with other scents.
This is a grown woman scent! Its sexy and sensual, and it last ALL DAY!!
I was excited to try this because I love Tom ford. This one i do not care for. I can't figure out what it is maybe it just the floral part, or maybe it just does not mix well work my skin
This is a very mature fragrance. It makes me think of my grandma (who always wore Chanel No. 5), but it doesn't smell like an "old lady" perfume. At first it is very forward, mature almost powdery scent, but once it dries down, it has a spicey, musky tinge to it. At first I wasn't sure if I liked it at all because it was such a mature aroma, but after several wears and getting used to how the perfume develops, I really do enjoy it. It comes across more like a mature-sexy evening perfume.
Oooh I love this one! Not too sweet, leans slightly masculine but that is something I love in fragrances. It's definitely a scent that I would wear on date night and during cooler months.
This one is one of my favorite good if you layer
Not for me. Smells very manly I sent it back for an exchange
I was so excited about this scent, I was highly disappointed. The smell is so strong and in a bad way, why is it that perfumes that stink come out to be strong but the good smelling ones are light. I am going to ask for a different scent to replace this one. Not my cup of tea.
I just love it! I get lots of compliments, musky, sensual smell.
Couldn’t handle the smell ??
Love it lasts for awhile.
Very sexy!! Not for the faint of heart. Musky, date night fragrance. Men love it!
It is lovely fragrance if you like a sweet fragrance. A little too sweet for me.
I'm a fan of Tom Ford fragrances, so when I got the opportunity to smell this one I hopped on it... NOT MY CUP OF TEA. The patchouli is overwhelming or maybe it's the earthy balsamic notes. It kinda smells like the older women at my church. But it last all day, as with all of them and the sillage is amazing. I'll be passing this one to my mom...
I love this perfume and want the full sized bottle!
It smelled like my grandma's perfume hated it!
This is one of my favorite fragrances. However, it is not for everyone. Definitely sample before buying the large size if your curious. It's one of those scents that a little goes a long way, and it lasts most of the day.
You only need 1 spray, really good staying power, a liiiiittle old for my age, definitely would be best for someone in their 30’s - 50’s, I still wear it, I love it, not a tacky cherry smell either
When Ia hear the name Tom Ford I think of a fragrance that will be life changing. With that said..this was not what I expected. The description matched its scent and although I don't typically go for earthy scents I opted to try this one. I expected to smell the orchid a bit more than I did. It is very strong when sprayed so a little goes a long way; however, it comes off a bit manly initially. After it dries down it mixed well with my body chemistry to produce a uniquely pleasant scent. It gave me a mix of both femininity and masculinity. It was quite long lasting and I would definitely say it smelled better as the day progressed. Would I buy again? The answer is no but if woodsy is your type of scent then I'd say give it a try!
This was an amazing sensual fragrance that cativated me an those around me. Long lasting.
Didn't care for it. Not what I thought it was gonna smell like
I really wanted to like this but sadly I do not. Very strong and peppery scent. Lasted hours. It was ok after an hour or so.
Love it, love it, love it. Exactly what it describes, dark floral. The wear is amazing as well.
Tom Ford is my favorite. Always good. Always different from the last.
I absolutely love this scent and it's fairly** affordable for a full-size bottle only given the name Tom Ford. I'd say it's more subtle than some of his other fragrances. So know that. Some of them, one spray is plenty. With this I'd be a little more generous, like 3 sprays. I wish I knew how to describe it, but I'm at a loss lol. It's........ appropriate for everything. Work, party, date night; it's that scent. There was another reviewer that stated, "This is for a woman...not a girl" and truthfully that's spot on; 30s-40s ladies. Lightly musky, oriental, fresh floral vibes. I'm going to use the bottle, but given the price point, this might be the first 'sample' I've tried that I will purchase in the full size.
I did not care for it
It seems everything I get from Tom ford is good.
This has been my signature night out fragrance for years. It pairs well with red lipstick and a leather jacket. ?? This perfume is a crazy mixture of strong, spicy, sweet and sharp. The woods give it a beautiful depth. The first time you try it, spritz it on on a date night or even better a bar night. I’d avoid testing it for the first time in hot sunny weather.
It's ok; not really a fan of this one.
This one is strange because I do really like the smell but it is not what I want to smell like. I would love it as a candle or room spray maybe but it is too heavy feeling of a scent for me to want to wear it. I gave it 4-stars though because I do like to spray it and just smell it around me.
This one was not for me however I am giving it 4 stars because my daughter loved it and it smells amazing on her just didn't mix right with my chemistry
Love! It's timeless!
It’s a beautiful everyday scent. The longevity is amazing! Last all day!
Love the scent, lasts a while! Reminds me a bit of Opium! Yum
Smells like an old rich lady.
Very strong and long lasting!
Nice scent, but very heavy. One spray at a time is plenty. I really like it, but not a fragrance I would wear every day. Still happy with it though.
It is a unisex perfume it's usually for men but I like it ... but it is a heavy scent.
Good when its cold out
Very heavy in the pepper scent, definitely not for everyone or everywhere.
I love Tom Ford and this an elegant fragrance that did not disappoint me. It’s great for evening or a date night. A sexy scent.
Very masculine and dark. I do like it. Would be nice for a night out.
Not for everyone..I love it ! What a masterpiece! At first spray very strong but let it settle and it develops into a sweet dark Scent. Very long lasting .
Typically darker, woodsier fragrances give me migraines. Not this fragrance - and I was going on blind hope because I love everything Tom Ford. Wow. It got reactions from strangers and from friends. It didn't just sit on my skin - it became my skin and it was AMAZING. In full love with this aroma.
Mmm!!! This smells soooo damn good!! YUM! you can legit smell the darkness in it and that isn't a bad thing... like a sweet and spicy berry.
Not for me but my 16yr old daughter likes it so I gave it to her.
This is a very heavy, very strong fragrance best suited for evenings out. I did a test spray on a garment and the scent immediately gave me a headache. I can say, it lasts a long time. I had to wash the garment to get the smell out. Not something that I can wear to work at all, it would overtake a room. Not for me.
This is my absolute favorite fragrance. It has a touch of masculinity with the notes of woods and spice, it matches a personality that isn’t overly feminine but still wants to smell gorgeous.
Warm and spicy, strong and long lasting
Warm, spicy and intense. Strong and long lasting.
Oof. I knew it was a long shot just by reading the reviews and knowing what a polarizing scent this is but WOW! This perfume is an assault on the nose. SO strong. And funky. A mix of mustiness and nasty aftershave.
Ew it's like someone punching you in the face q your nanas smell ??
Strong overwhelming powder smell! Ew! Zero stars if I could!
It smells like my grandma playing bingo with her friends. With the high rating I thought it was fresh but noway!
Everytime I wear this I get so many compliments on it. Love it
This has been my favorite selection so far. People were constantly noticing it on me ( in a positive way). I love it!
Nope! Smells like an old widow in mourning. I’m returning this ASAP. It’s tooooo strong, very overwhelming. Tom missed the mark with this one.
Not my favorite but the smell last all day
I didn’t care for this. It’s too much if that makes any sense. I like fruity floral flirty. This was none of those.
A little goes a long way. Very strong. I’m not sure I like some of the notes. It’s almost a sour b.o. smell to it. It’s definitely something I wouldn’t gravitate towards normally.
It's a beautiful spicy scent that, on me , has an almond- cherry undertone
Very strong. Not for everyone. It was a lot earthier and kinda.. spicy? Than I thought it would be. It's not terrible, but not my favorite.
I like it but it is very strong so only 1 spray will do it
YUCK! IT'S JUST BAD! First time returning a scent. I've received others I disliked but gave to someone else. Nit this one, I don't even want to smell on someone else.
Love this!!
My all time favorite scent! It's is VERY strong and if you don't like deep floral with an earthy base, this isn't for you. Definitely not a scent I recommend blind buying. You have to be a confident person to wear this because it fills up a room! It's unisex so has slightly more masculine vibes but IMO is still a feminine fragrance.
Absolutely worst scent I have ever smelled. ??
Smelled like a No. 2 pencil and grapes. Not for me at all
Smells great, but a little good a LONG way!
Love this scent. Feels like a more mature version of Armani Code. Definitely a night time fall/winter fragrance. Long lasting.
I have tried Velvet Orchid and the Parfum and I think the original is my favorite! Not for everyone, but works for me. And lasts forever.
Wow - way better than I had expected. For whatever reason, reading the description, something was not super appealing to me. However, heard others raving about it so I tried it. So glad I did! It smells much differently than I had pictures in my mind.
There is one note I really don’t like in this fragrance which I think might be the truffle.
I love this perfume. My new scent. I receive so many compliments when I wear it
Love this one , it has to be one of my favorites.
I love it
It has a really nice smell, it’s just not for me. I’m a fan of earthy/woodsy scents and this was more floral than I prefer. My daughter loved it so I gave it to her!
Love the way it smells on me, I have received tons of compliments and everyone loves the smell. Each person, says it smells different. I may purchase the larger size since it smells so awesome.
Lovely fragrance! Warm and floral
Loved it
Once it dries down it smells amazing and luxurious. Love it!
Not sure about this scent. I liked the purple orchid instead.
It is a very unique scent. I'm not crazy about it, but I'll use it up. I'm just not going ro invest in a full bottle.
Absolutely love it! It definitely isn’t for everyone. Very long lasting.
I love this. I tend to like more musky scents however. But it’s definitely not for everyone. I always get a ton of compliments when I wear it.
Smells really grown and sexy. Could last loner
I really like the amber in this perfume. I like that I can smell it for many hours on my skin.
I loved it on the first day and the second I wasn't too fond of it... I guess it's a hit or a miss for me.
Not for me. To masculine
It smells too masculine for me .I really didn't like it.
I was looking for a winter scent. It's fine. I thought it would be more floral than gourmand. The chocolate scent is cool but not the main note I'm after.
This perfume is INCREDIBLY long-lasting and really fills a room. Unfortunately, I can't stand the scent and it's impossible to wash off or get off clothing because of its longevity. I think the scent is just too unique and strong to me.
It’s nice but almost like a need a specific event to wear it? Just not great for daily wear or even casual evening.
At first all I got was men's aftershave and I seriously picked up my phone to do a trade- in. Thankfully I waited only moments longer because this is now one of my favorites. Top was totally aftershave, mid was fruity, bottom was chocolate, scent lasted all day and night, even into morning.
It smell ok. Not the scent I thought it would be.
Not my style
It’s okay. It smells like something my mom wears & shes 67. I ended up giving it to a friend because she really liked it.
Too masculine for me. Smelled like limes and pine trees. Defintely not for me, but maybe on a man.
Definitely not a modern fragrance.
Seductive date night perfume! The initial spray is a little offensive to me, but give it a few min. And the dry down is amazing!!!
Maybe there’s something wrong with me because everyone else seems to love this fragrance. I hated it and had to wash it off. It honestly made me want to throw up at one point.
Wayyyyyy to strong. Smells like black licorice and a old man!!! Gross
Reminds me of an old lady but it still smells nice and lasts all day
Very strong scent but not quite modern enough for me.
It’s to strong to be a unisex perfume in my opinion . I liked it but reminded me of a strong men’s cologne . I will say it lasted all day .
I was really looking forward to this one. Looking at all the notes and considering the popularity of Tom Ford, I was sure I was going to love it. It looked dark and intense, I consider myself to be dark and intense, perfection. Unfortunately, it was just too much for me. Even though there's no black licorice in in, there was something that was reminiscent of it. It's overpowering, there's too much going on at once, and it sticks to the inside of my nose. I assumed it would calm down the longer I wore it, and while it grew fainter, it didn't become more pleasant. Every time I got a whiff of it I felt like I wanted to get away from it, but of course, it was on me, so that was impossible. I ended up washing it off. Most people really rave about this, so I don't know what I'm not getting. I'm new to fragrances, so maybe my nose just isn't refined enough for this yet. I think I can see how people could like it, but sadly I am not one of them.
it's a great fragrance for fall, but like all of the other Scentbox fragrances I've tried, it doesn't last. The scent is almost gone within an hour. Cancelled my subscription.
Love it, admittedly if you have your favorite cologne, it will take a moment to get used to. Put it smells expensive and sophisticated. Definitely nice for a night out or to impress.
Very rich, long lasting scent. The scent won't suit everyone but it was too....I don't know....nah. I didn't love this one.
Strong at first then wears off on ya. Kinda like it.
Really not for me, but it lasts forever, had to shower and alcohol wipe off the scent eventually
Really nice fragrance kind of a deep winter scent.
Took me back to when I was about 7 and helping my grandparents clean out my grandpa’s mom’s house who just recently past away. Reminded me of of the scent of dusted old leather. Last forever though, but it gave me a headache. Requesting an exchange for this scent. I really wanted to love it :(
Better than others I have received from here that are way too floral. Not the best though.
Too old lady smelling. Not worth the hype!!
The only reason this is a 4 out of 5 for me is because it doesn't last as long as I would like it. I work a job where I'm constantly moving around so I like my scents to last all day without having to reapply all the time. I love the classic old school floral musk it has. Definitely not for someone who doesn't like perfumes that their grandmother wore. Got lots of compliments even from my uber driver! Definitely going to be added to my rotation
This is a complex fragrance with longevity, but the smell did not suit me.
Floral and sweet on top, then ashtray scent, then a little bit of chocolate on dry down. I dislike the ashtray scent but I still like it. Doesn't last long though.
I have chosen this scent a few times, I really love it.
Too musky for me
I actually really like this fragrance because of how complex and long lasting it is! IF it smells like old-lady perfume, then it is a very rich, cultured, intelligent and beautiful old lady!
Too old lady smelling I didn't Ike it.
Love this perfume. Long lasting
Very unisex. Reminds me of Rose Prick. A little goes a long way.
I didn’t like this perfume at first in the bottle but on me it smelled heavenly. I got stopped and complimented by strangers at a restaurant. I had a random person come up and sniff the air around me saying oh it’s you that smells so good what are you wearing. It’s definitely long lasting stayed smelling delicious for over 12hours. My new go to.
It's a great scent but it doesn't last as long as I'd like. It's a fairly neutral and lovely every day scent - not as powerful as some of his others
This is a very strong fragrance. It's very beautiful, but it's definitely a fragrance for cold weather months.
Not one of my favorites, it’s a little too musky for me. It’s a hit or miss, I have been told it smells good, but to me personally I’m not a huge fan.
Love this scent
Just ok. Too powdery for me.
Was really excited to try this, but I didn't love it on me. When I first sprayed, it reminded me of a more expensive CK euphoria. After it dried down a bit, it got more "manly." A bit too smoky/leather for me, which was ok because my husband really likes the dry down scent on him and so do I. Scent has great longevity and sillage.
Smelled bad. Sent it back for exchange. Reminded me of a perfume for an elderly lady
Has that strong old lady smell
I really thought I would love this scent, was looking for something spicy and warm. But it came off as powdery and very sweet for me. It was also older than what I was hoping for. Reminded me of my mom's/grandma's perfumes.
Not good
not a fan, too earthy i think
Very sexy, but not overpowering. Lasts all day.
A super mature scent . It smells like an old lady. It last long!! I like when it dried, it smelled very sweet. But it took hours to get to that.
Did not like the way this smelled on me- it didn't seem to match its description
Exchanged this one. Smells ok, it has a very mature scent. Just not for me.
Don’t like it
Very powdery orchid, very sexy scent but not personally for me. However I respect how powerful it is. Perfect if you want something for a date night that will last forever
Luke warm about this scent. Does have a woodsy smell, which I like. But it wears off fast. I did get compliments on it when I was out, I didn’t think it smelt that nice. But I don’t think I’d buy a full bottle, it’s nothing I have to have again.
Smells like pure rubbing alcohol & bug spray when first applied,but once dried it is a sensual,warm scent that makes you feel sexy. The scent wears off after awhile,but it smells lovely.
Very strong, but unique scent. I still haven't decided if I like it
This is better than I hoped! This is a very elegant scent. Definitely a date night fragrance. It lasts longer than most perfumes on my skin. I love it!
I feel like a bawse in this scent. I get a lot of compliments on it as well. Definitely created by the Gawds because LISTEN!!!!!!! IT'S THE BOMB! It really is a super sexy fragrance that can be worn if you want to turn heads at the mall, get a free drink at the club, or want people to think you're a mystery behind your mask!
One of the most sophisticated fragrances.
La verdad no me gusto la fragancia
I was apprehensive about trying a floral fragrance. They're generally too strong and feminine for me, but this one has a unique muskiness to it that brings it closer to a "unisex" scent. It's strong - you'll smell it on yourself all day. The top notes are very sweet and inviting, and the middle and base notes have a rich complexity that'll turn heads. If you're on the fence about florals, give this one a shot.
This for me - has a strong heavy scent that can go well for others- I personally like sweet scents
This is a very unique heavy scent not sure if I like it or not
It was horrible! There were 2 men present when I opened it and sprayed a small amount to sample it. They said it smelt like a old lady's perfume. It was so strong that at made me nauseous.
No. Not a match for me
Super dreamy!
Smells like a feminine cologne. After wearing it for a few hours it's starting to make me feel kinda nauseous/head ache. I will say it's very strong and long lasting which is rare in high end perfumes. I can't tell if I like the smell or not tbh. Like it's nice smelling..but I can't help but feel I'm wearing a cologne?
Love the scent but would like it a little softer in strength. Close your eyes and you're outdoors on a hot summers day,
I love the scent after it dried down. It was very strong when you first smell it and then it gets sweet. It sit close to thr skin and it's very alluring.
I love this
Its difderent than a lot of the perfumes I usually where, but I was pleasantly surprised when I got this. I absolutely love black orchid and sp does my boyfriend!! Will definitely be buying this again!!!
I like more „golden” version, but it’s still marvelous, just more sweet (chocolate instead of rum)
Loved this smell. Not my favorite but still smells great. I would buy again
I wanted to like this one so much but it is a big miss in my opinion. It reminds me of discount fragrances sold at drugstores in prepackaged gift boxes during the holiday season. There is an old lady element to this one that just isn't great.
Older lady musky
When I first sprayed it in the air, smelled like old lady. Then I put it on and WOW! I love it! The smells lasts over 5 hours and the scent thats lasting on me is like a flirty flowery chocolate smell with a hint of spice! Surprised I like it so much. I wouldn’t wear this scent on an evening date, but def during the day.
I love it! It's bold, confident, sexy and very masculine.
I really enjoy the scent, my husband also enjoy the smell.
Smells like old lady.
Smells like an old lady
I loved this one. In my first box I received this and Balenciaga by balenciaga and this one was far superior, mature, and lingering. I didn’t smell it after a while but my husband said he could still smell me and it was still lingering in my bathroom hour later.
You would never smell cheap with this fragance It smells so good
Smells so intoxicating! Didn’t expect to love this but I’ve been using it every day!
So good! I prefer more mature (yet not old church lady) scents and this one did not disappoint.
Doesn't last very long.
Very sensual
I smell like an old lady.
Cloying. Reminds me of a floral arrangement that is ready to be tossed in the trash. I don't sense the black truffle at all.
smells like old lady
Not terrible, but it’s very strong and I normally like a strong, long lasting scent.
Love it! its loud and long lasting! Its dark, dense and a bit mature.
I love this fragrance as I love the strong masculine scents for women!!! This one is my absolute favorite and will be ordering the larger bottle!!
Wasn’t for me It was very strong , it settles in your skin after , but still is not my favorite Send or die an exchange
Just ok
I wanted to love this perfume, and I usually like more masculine scents, but this was too much for me. The smell gave me a headache and was just overall unpleasant. It smelled like an old box of clothes.
Really love this perfume. I'm a huge Chanel #5 fan and this one is warm and toasty. Exactly what I was looking for
Not for me. Longevity of the fragrance is nice, but the scent is very powdery. Too mature for me.
Love it!!
Didn’t like the fragrance at all want to send it back but to much work.
Not my fave but definitely received a lot of compliments. Sister-in-law kept sniffing me...
Very disappointed! It is a very harsh smell. Remind me of my grandma. I really wanted to like it but I didn’t
Not for me
Worst scent ever... a cross between old lady and urine... I love dark sexy scents but this was wrong on so many levels...
i really like the scent of this perfume. to me, it’s not super overpowering and doesn’t make you feel congested. i love the floral notes! i think this’ll be my go-to for spring.
Very disappointed. Didn’t return it, but really can’t use it. Old lady smelling ??
Super nice flavor that lasts for hours. I us not too overwhelming but just enough warmth to keep the mood nice.
I’m on the fence about this one. When I first got it and sprayed it I did not like it at all. It’s very strong and it’s giving grandma vibes. I know this is a popular scent so I wanted to give it another try. Once it dried down it smells better but this is definitely a scent that will have to grow on me
Love it! Such a classy fragrance. Hard to describe, but a must try.
Ew nope straight grandma smell. Had to return ... boyfriend agreed. Stinky cheap pharmacy perfume smell
Did not feel that this was special
I am hooked on this perfume! I do not usually like floral scents, I usually wear spicy, amber or chypre perfumes, but this one is an exception. It has a heavier, more raw quality to it. It smells divine and very sexy. For me it smells best in cooler weather, too heavy for summer.
Smells really nice!
This was really strong and spicy at first, but it settles nicely and last through the day with a more sweet floral effect with a hint of spice. I love it.
I like it.
Don't really like it
Not bad. I like my fragrances spicy and this has that. It is a bit sweet but not just straight up candy sweet although when I put it on I smell almost a black licorice fragrance. It is stronger in general so more lasting. It does not take a lot but you can always carry it with you if you need more. Just a couple of sprays will do you good. Try one spritz down your blouse and one at the wrists whisk you can rub up the neck and arms. It will be enough. I would not say personally it would be a fragrance I would buy but I did not hate it either. It’s ok. Perfect for those who like spicy fragrances.
It's one of the best fragrances that I've ever tried and it is a compliment beast
Orchid in a bottle is what I get.Outstanding scent for a special type of woman.
Smells ok
Smells very much like licorice
Just not my cup of tea. Smelled very matronly.
This is for those that are ok with strong fragrance. I'm a person who likes floral, sweet, or clean scent that's not too strong and this is definitely a bit too strong for me so I gave it to my husband. This last on for a few hours and you will have to spritz it on again if you want it to last all day.
Strong and sensual. Lasts for about half of a day. Not sure I would want a big bottle but love the Scentbox bottle. Perfect.
I struggled with this perfume because I liked it but then I would get a whiff that reminded me of an older style perfume my grandmother used to wear. I went with my husbands opinion and he said I should exchange it.
It starts off as a warm and spicy, 'soapy' fruity floral, it is definitely too much when first sprayed. It's strong and mature, but it softens up and gets smoother as time passes. Black Orchid is a winter/fall fragrance. It's definitely one of those scents that smells better after hours of wear.
Too strong floral to start then strong patchouli. Smelled too mature (grandma) for me. Exchanged!
Love it!
This is not for the faint of heart. This scent is strong and it is for those who want to make a statement. The performance of this scent is also good, it is very long lasting and I don’t need to reapply at all. The florals used in this perfume aren’t overly feminine (think rose, jasmine, peony). What rounds out the scent and makes more feminine are the strong notes of sweetness, warmth, and spice which makes it feel heavy, or more appropriate for the evenings and colder weather.
I wanted to love this scent but as soon as I tried one spritz I was out. It just didn't resonate with me at all.
This was a let down for me. I picked this scent based on other people's reviews but from the second I sprayed it on me, I knew it wasn't for me. It's so heavy and smell so strong. It might be for someone wayyy older.
Love, love, love it??????
At first when smelling the scent from the bottle I was like I don't know about this one. But, when I sprayed it on my skin I quickly feel in love with this fragrance. It's not just sexy but it's also long lasting. I love it!
I only rated 4 because I absolutely couldn’t stand the scent at first. Reminded me of old lady forest. Was upset because I wanted to love this scent. BUT after it settled (2hrs) this amazing beautiful scent lingered. I would say it’s definitely a night time scent.
It’s not quite what I expected from all the hype. It’s a nice scent with sex appeal but I wouldn’t call it seductive. It’s a light floral. I’d really like scentbox to offer some of Tom Ford’s other fragrances like Fabulous. This fragrance could easily get by in any season. Classy.
I don’t like it. I love perfume and was excited about this. It’s just not my style. I love the idea of this more than the perfume itself. I don’t think it works with my body chemistry. It’s to heavy and I love musky. I love patchouli but this smells like dirt and old people. There are other scents that work better for me. It lasts though. I could smell it all day which was a cruel twist of fate.
The only TF fragrance I like/love! It’s so sexy...my God! I already have the full size bottle but I like to have these to take in my travel bag.
I absolutely love this fragrance. The notes are light and yet intense with a not overpowering floral scent. There is a nice bit of musky undernote that keeps the floral notes at bay. This is a very sexy fragrance that can be worn for a date night or at a party once we can socialize again. The fragrance is not too strong and is very classy. The fragrance stays close to the skin and does not get to the destination before you do. I am planning purchasing the regular size bottle.
Very intoxicating and long lasting fragrance. Perfect for winter.
It’s ok
Very sex. The orchid lingers but isn't over powering with subtle notes of vanilla. This is a super sexy Feminine fragrance
I would rate it a 3.5 if I could. When I first sprayed it, it gave off strong grandma vibes. But once that went away, I loved the woody, patchouli, incense smell. The perfume is long lasting, I would rate it higher if it weren’t for the initial grandma smell. Fiancé loved the woody smell on me.
This is the sexiest scent I have ever owned! I LOVE it. I just wish it would last all day.
I choose this on my calander because I readbitbwas rated a top fragrance for women and I can definantly see why. Back in the late 80s and 90s some may remember the fragrance that was THEN very popular called "Fendi" it very much puts me in mind of THAT, but with much softer tones to it. I really am.enjoying it!
I’m trying to figure out how to say I can’t stop sniffing myself in a non creepy way. BUT I CAN’T ?? I think I fell in love with myself ?? it’s like a man laid on your pillows and your perfume and his cologne mixed together and you rubbed it on your body ??
I had such high hopes for this perfume based off all the amazing reviews, but it was way too strong and grandma-esque for me, even with one small spray. I feel I’m definitely in the minority here as many keep leaving glowing reviews, maybe my nose is just weird, but it didn’t resonate well with me.
I love it- very heavy scent- but I like that.
I absolutely love the scent itself. At first, I thought it was way too masculine for me but after a little wear more floral notes come out making it more feminine. The only thing is sadly it doesn't last on my skin at all. I looked at a lot of reviews calling this everlasting so I'm assuming it will last on most people. That's just my experience.
So good! So sexy!
Loved it! Very different from other scents I have in my collection.
Do not base your selections from reviews cause that was my mistake. My whole cue is based from reviews and I dont think people are being honest. For me I had high hopes for this being my free exchange however this perfume has a strong musky scent but then dries down to a neutral powder type smell. I dont have perfume lingo. Idk it's a strange one mr grinch.. lmao!!
Once I learned how to barely, barely apply this, I loved it (not when I first put it on, but after a half hour into the dry down period). BUT my husband hates it, and I have to wear it when he's not around, he said it smells too much like a men's cologne. I really had a hard time figuring out the proper way to wear it for me, but after dry down it smells soooo good on me.
Strong, long lasting, mildly too feminine but still good.
Love love love this one! Wish the full size bottle was on my price range. I would totally snap a bottle up. Smells sooooo good! Sensual and complex.
It is an absolute stunner! Its very dark and mysterious. One of my favorite fragrances for sure.
Too heavy and musky
It’s ok, but not one of my favorites.
I’m more of a light, subtle fragrance. This is definitely the opposite. One pump goes all day . This is not a perfume to over use because it can be very overpowering. I like the scent but when I used it the one time, I found that one pump will be enough. That’s actually a plus because it last longer and stays on you all day.
love the smell
Wonderful smell
She's heavy and not for the faint of heart. It's classic and sophisticated and unique. Personally, it's 3 stars for me, but I can see why this is a 5 star fragrance for others. For the mysterious classy kind of person.
Where to begin? I'm the kind of gal who prefer lighter, sweeter scents that don't lean too heavy on the floral side. I've heard so much about Black Orchid and gave in to the hype. Of course I didn't want to blind buy a bottle of this and thanks to ScentBox I wouldn't have to. Upon the first spray, I was struck at how dense and heavy this perfume was; it literally clung to my skin and clothes. I didn't hate it, nor did I love it. It was extremely spicy and woody; very masculine in my opinion. But once it dried down, it mellowed out into a warm patchouli and vetiver with notes of orchid and other scents I couldn't quite detect. I wore this perfume over the course of a week, and the longer I wore it, the more I fell in love with it. My husband even commented on it saying how good it smelled. It is smooth and sensual in a sense. Perfect for evening wear during the late fall and winter months. Some will hate it, some will love it and some will grow to enjoy it.
If you don't like sweet perfume, this is for you. It's more spicy. Almost reminds me of incense.
My husband attacks (in a good way!) me everytime I have this on. I had to buy the larger bottle! You will either love this one or hate it. I'm not sure if there is an in between fan club on this one! It's a serious scent! It's deep, spicy, bold and exotic at first, then it dries down to an incensy slightly sweet and vanilla scent. I think the big factor with this one is how it mingles with your body...It mixes very well with my chemistry. It is bold and I can see men wearing this as well.
Not a floral person this was set up to seem like it would be sweeter.... not a fan
Not a huge fan I'd like to exchange
Cloying and overpowering .. not for me.
When I first smelled this I liked it, then put some on and it seemed overpowering for a while. The longer I wore it, the more I loved it! It settled into a rich, warm vanilla and I can never stop reaching out and smelling my wrist ??not for the faint of heart, and definitely not a sweet flowery fragrance although I do love the floral side of this
This fragrance is sexy. I love it!
Smell pretty good and last a while.
It has a strong spicy scent to it. Smells like it is more of a mature men’s cologne.
Normally don’t do the musk scents but this one is really nice! Not too musty and last a long time before you’ll need another spurt!
I got several compliments on this. Long lasting and a sophisticated and classy scent.
Do not care for the scent. A bit masculine and all I notice is incense.
This scent is expensive smelling and overall nice smelling. I think it is a bit too mature for me (I’m in my 20s) and a little too much of a certain floral Scent. I could see how other people might love this though. Smells better a few minutes after it’s been sprayed.
One of my favorites - I was happy to find it available here. Very sexy and mysterious and smells expensive.
I didn't really care for this. The smell was a bit too mature for me...
Super dark and chocolatey smelling. Definitely a fancy dinner date fragrance. The tiniest spritz will last you all night!
Nauseating at first, smells like wet cigarettes and a bottle of Jovan white musk. It dries down with aldehydes and powdery flowers with lots of bitter wood, almost tobacco and leather and it lingers. I'm exchanging it. I really don't like this perfume at all. The bottle looks nice and I'm sure it's prestigious as it's a Tom Ford fragrance, but other than that it's truly awful.
Smells horrible.
Luv it!!!
I really wanted to like this because I know people love this but for me, it made me want to gag! It was tooooo strong and over powering for me. I think the best part of this would be the dry down but for some reason I just can’t stomach this scent.
Masculine (on me), warm, woody and spicy. I didn't like it at first but it grew on me during the drydown. Not my usual taste but lovely and complex.
It's dark and musty. Sexy and spicy. I like it. It's a mood fragrance.
At first I wasn’t a fan...but as it sat in my skin...I liked it more and more.
Although it does smell great, it reminds me more of a men's cologne. Just isn't right for me but if you're into that, try this one out. :)
It’s really good! I actually didn’t like it first spray but after a while it grew on me! I mix it with poison hypnotic and it’s a great great combination for me.
It is a very sexy scent but a bit over powering. Just a couple of sprays will do.
I think it has a harm spicy smell for the winter
I loved how it smelled, however it didn’t last very long.
It’s has spicy smell at first but doesn’t stay smelling like spices, it smells a lot like incense. This will not be to everyone’s liking. It does have a more masculine feel to it, so if your looking for sweet this is not it. The sent is long lasting and it projects moderately. I like it but my liking is more to musky and dark.
This was not for me. The initial smell was extremely strong and musky, but once it died down it was really nice. However, the musky smell still lingered to much for me. I exchanged it.
This one isn't for me
At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it because it was strong but as the day went on it became a fragrance that I am now obsessed with! Remember that you only need one spray to do the job
This fragrance wasn’t what I like.
Love love love it.
Strong and musky at first then simmers to a musky floral.
omg i i love the noir pour femme and souiel ochird but this is all bad :(
Musky floral, pleasant.
This fragrance isn't for me. Way too strong.
Just not for me, not my taste but I am going to keep trying it to see if it grows on me.
Different smell musky with flowers to much for older women for me
Love this scent. It gets better the longer you wear it.
This scent is unlike anything I've sprayed before. The 1st spray is mysterious but I love it. It's sweet but floral at the same time and I love it. Thinking of buying the big bottle.
Rating this highly; but also returning. For fans of oriental fragrances, this is the most balanced, modern oriental noted perfume Ive smelled. Sweet floral with the classic “oriental spice” but an uplifting and surprising fresh note. I really love this fragrance, and if it were a candle I’d be obsessed... I just don’t think it smells like “me.”
It’s very different! It’s a smell that you’re unsure about as soon as you put it on, but once it sits it smells very nice. Probably would never buy a full bottle but it’s a great backup!
smells like a mature woman should wear this. A little too musky for my taste. Only lasted 30 mins tops, not impressed.
This fragrance is really different. It’s slightly spicy at first, but fades into a really smoky, soft powder. It took me a few tries to determine how I thought about it, but now I love the way it settles and that it’s warm and unique. I’m going to purchase the full bottle of this one.
The smells is unique. Has a medicinal smell at first but, drys down to a nice pleasant smell. I can't really explain it. I wasn't able to fully wear it because, of the strange fibers in the bottle. Scentbox replaced it right away though.
Not my favorite scent on me, it didn’t mix well with my body chemistry. I will say that I gave it to my 5 year old who proceeded to spray it all over the house and my house smelled terrific ??.
Loved!
One of my favorite perfumes. Definitely a strong smell so I only use one spray but it's very elegant.
I’m torn. It’s pretty strong and a little too musky. ?????
Dark Floral smell. It lasts a long time and the projection is amazing
Well I'm a perfume FREAK . OVER 500 scents. Can't believe I've never ran into this before. So. STRONG . Which is normally fine. But this is like Oops spilled the bottle strong . I don't find ANY of the supposed notes in it, which are my faves and why I tried it. What I do smell is a spoiled fragrance. Like your favorite perfume that's no longer made so you hang into the last little bit and its old alcoholy smell. OLD STAGNANT perfume . But longevity? Ooh too bad it is lllooonnngggg . Projects all over the house. I so want to like this. So far nothing redeeming to say.
Always wanted to try this scent. On my body it brings out a heavy musky scent that’s okay. Smells great by itself when sprayed on clothing just not in my skin.
I have mixed feelings. It smells amazing, but the scent is too strong, too overwhelming. Normally a scent that is so strong would give me a headache, but this one doesn't - which is a good thing! It smells like vanilla and almost peppery. When I use it, I spray once into the air and walk into it, then it's not too overpowering.
Too strong!!!!
Definitely dark, rich, and thick... kinda almost smells like vanilla and oddly cucumber on me. Definitely more appropriate for cooler months. I'll spray 1x on my chest and it will absolutely last all day.
Oof...nope. It's oddly familiar to me, but I can't quite put my finger on what it reminds me of. Whatever it is though, I find it really unpleasant. To me, it starts a little green-minty (like mint jelly?), maybe has a hint of licorice in there, with some underlying lawn clippings. (That may explain my dislike...I'm one of those weirdos that finds zero appeal to the smell of cut grass.) After a while, it starts to smell like a bouquet that's been stomped on and had all the flowers torn off, so all you have are a bunch of injured stems. I envy those who get better results out of this fragrance that I did, because they way they describe it sounds pretty special. That's why I gave back a star. For those who enjoy it, it's quality--Some good throw and longevity here.
Sexy, sexy and sexy! It turns the head of everyone! I would make it the only perfume to wear everywhere!! Love it so much!
Way too musky
The quality of the perfume is really nice but the scent is not for me. It is a bit too old and powdery for my liking. It’s something that I can imagine someone else loving, but for me it’s just not what I like.
I think this is a great fragrance, though it may not be the greatest for me. At first, the scent is a bit alarming simply because of how strong --and powdery-- it smells. I was worried I had made a horrible mistake and would smell like AARP No.5 all day. The scent quickly settled, however, and I was left with a soft, non-powdery scent. If you like patchouli, with some warm floral and amber notes, you will love this perfume. I enjoyed that the scent seemed to evolve a bit throughout the day (and let me say, this is an ALL day perfume-- it sits close to the skin but you'll get 6-8 hours out of her). Very pleasant, but not the daytime scent I'm looking for. More of an evening or office perfume.
Heavy and sweet. Not a fan.
Very intoxicating
I always get compliments on this fragrance
Definitely not for me it has more of a mature smell to it
One of my favorites. My coworker complimented me, and liked how mysterious Black Orchid smells.
I love this scent plus it’s long lasting. I don’t spray too much cause it can be an overbearing scent if sprayed too much.
This scent is amazing.. definitely 5 stars
It’s really strong. Many of the reviews are right, that first spritz feels like a mistake until it sits on you. Very subtle after it settles and lasts all day.
Not a fan. At all.
I love it. When it runs out I will buy a full supply. The fragrance is warm and intense, perfect for this fall and winter season. I feel expensive when I wear it, which is everyday since I got it.
VERY heavy scent. Overpowering and headache inducing. NOT a fan.
I was not a fan when I applied it for the first time... but after it dried down? LOVE IT. This is a much stronger perfume than I normally wear, so imagine my surprise when it changed my whole walk! It's sexy, powerful, and classy. Don't let the initial spray scare you -- let it dry and enjoy!
This is a strong warm scent. At first it hits strong and spicy, then becomes a little more calm. I enjoy it.
This scent is not for the sensitive at heart, however mixed with another fragrance this has become a favourite for my senses.
This fragrance is SEX. All the way. It screams sensuality and oozes desire. This is thee scent for that red room in a Fifty Shades of Grey book. Too bad we are still dealing with this virus. I want everyone I come in to contact with to be enveloped with this smell.
Beautiful fragrance. I would consider it as a complex perfume. I would use it for an evening, fall season.
Way too strong
very old musk
Too strong for my liking
It’s not the best woody perfume out there. It’s long lasting but I would recommend choosing other brands if you are a female
Strong smell at first but love the middle and base note smell!
Absolutely stunning! This is now a favorite, I received so many compliments. But you have to be a bold woman to wear a powerhouse like this.
Absolutely love this fragrance!!
Didn't like scent on first, but once settled on me it's really nice.
Am obsessed with this perfume! It has become my favourite!
very unique, alluring cedary perfume. makes me feel powerful- not for the meek!
What an complex and intoxicating scent! Black Orchid starts off very strong and spicy, heavy on the patchouli. But over time it develops with so many creamy romantic layers. Warm, musky, chocolate, cinnamon, roses, and a hint of fruitiness. Such an elegant experience. Not for every day wear but when I want to feel like a bold, sexy, badass this scent fits the bill.
I normally love strong floral musky scents. They’re generally my signature go-tos. This one however, is extremely strong. I may try doing the “spray and walkthrough” technique to see if I like it better on me that way, because it is so strong it gives me a headache. But it has amazing longevity!!!
My absolute favorite scent ever. I know that it's not a scent for everybody but I feel and look rich whenever I wear this scent. It's an acquired scent, if you will.
The scent is very strong when you first spray it and is quite overwhelming. It's a bit too musky smelling for me, though it does seem to smell better and become a little sweeter smelling after a while. I will say that the scent lasts all day long.
This fragrance smells delightful! It’s warm and musky and lasts all day. This is definitely a fall/winter date night scent.
Amazing love the way it smells on me.
I smelled lovely wearing this scent, and received many compliments. Could last a bit longer but other than that I'm in love with this one.
I wouldn't necessarily say "men's" fragrance. But it is "deep" and musky. I do like it. However, it will be a fragrance I don't wear in the summer.
This literally smells like a cologne a 76-year-old man would wear to 6:00 PM mass. There is nothing feminine about this perfume. It smells like an old man’s cologne. Do not recommend if you are looking for a feminine fragrance.
smelled a bit like an old lady. not a favorite at all.
Love the way it smells, it’s very sexy. However, it has zero projection, and wears off very very fast.
I am obsessed with this fragrance. It is such a gorgeous, classic scent.
I was not impressed with this scent whatsoever. It’s very mature, very strong and spicy smelling. Would not wear or purchase
Very strong when you first put it on but, then it has a really pleasant smell after a few minutes. My husband loves when I wear it.
I still don't know how I feel about the fragrance. It's like I want to like it but it smells like an older rich lady I guess. No too bad, but not a fragrance I would purchase.
The initial spray is very strong, but not really in a good way, I didn’t really like it. But as it dried down it smelled better and I actually enjoyed it and so did my husband. I wish the initial spray wasn’t so intense and different, because I wouldn’t spend the money on the full size for this but I will enjoy the sample size.
It has an oriental flavor, a little sweet, a little gourmand, and a little flowery. Very nice overall and stays on for quite a long time!
I love this perfume! I always get compliments too.
I didn't like this scent at all.
I wanted to love this fragrance but at first smell I was a little put off by it, its really strong but after it dries down it become more pleasant and i love how unique it is, so if you don't like a strong scent or get headaches from perfume easily id say dont pick this one it might be to strong
Love it for a night out
Super strong and smelled like something from the dollar store
Everyone that smells it inquired about it I love the scent Not flowery more like a spicer smell
I absolutely love this perfume!! It smells wonderful and lasts a long time!
This scent is very alluring and romantic. Smelling it on other people will drive you wild because it smells so good. I noticed a great wear time by the end of the day I was still getting whiffs of it when I moved my arms and it settles mixed with your body chemistry nicley.
Smells ok. Seems more masculine to me.
Enjoy it
Always get lots of compliments
DONT like
Smells very good. Sadly not long lasting on me. Will use the sample but will not buy
A little too mature smelling for me. Have to re apply often as it doesnt smell for long.
Doesn't last. I put it on at 830am by 1130 I couldn't smell it anymore. Very strong at first spray, would recommend for an older woman.
This is a very strong scent. Reminded me of an older woman scent and like many others pointed out, it smells manly. I exchanged this one.
Smells too masculine, gave it to my husband I like the way smell on him. Hated it on me
Kinda man-ish and after a few hours on my clothes, it smelled like b.o. to me. Husband disagrees, and he liked it a lot on me.
I did not like it at all.
Did not like this scent at all, it seemed more like a man's scent.
Love it!
Smells like straight up freshly cut wood on me. I have heard so many amazing things about this perfume and none of them are true! Im so glad i tried it througg scentbird instead of purchasing an expensive bottle. There is nothing fresh about this to me. Its dark, woody, & strong. It stayed FOREVER and gave me a headache. I could still smell it after i showered THROUGHLY.
Very mature but also sexy!
Not something I would usually wear.
I like this fragrance. It has a nice scent suitable for dates/nights out in my opinion. Not sure if I’d buy a full bottle but it is a nice option for every once in a while
I am 29 but I feel like this scent is for a more mature woman. It is very musky and strong when you first spray it, eventually it settles but it gave me a headache. My mom (64) loved it. Smells pretty when it settled... but not for me. Very strong.
Definitely not for me it reminded me of something my grandma would have worn. I’m glad the scent didn’t last very long and that is the most positive thing I can say about this perfume.
The smell is awful, I don’t see what all the fuss is about.
I honestly can’t decide if I like it or not. It’s sweet smelling and very strong, hard to describe. If you like unique scents this is for you. It is definitely fun to try, but this is not a scent I would recommend spending a lot of money on unless you know what it smells like.
Nice scent
I love this scent! It has a great fragrance. My husband noticed the second I walked in the room last night with it on. He loved it. It will definitely get your man's àttention ladies!! ??????
Do not like this scent at all
It has an oriental kind of smell. Not harsh but pleasant. He does go away quickly
Old lady ??
Don't like it
Strong when applied but does quickly
Not for me
Love it! I was so excited to get this and was not disappointed! Absolutely love it!
I love this perfume the very first time I used it I didn’t really like it to much but I put it away and a few days later I decided to give it a try because in all honest I had just took a shower and had slathered my body with a very highly scented body butter that I really like to use at night time a lot and then I have a dry oil that matches it that I spray over it to hold the moisture in and I fell in love with Tom Ford perfume sweet but spicy like something I’ve never smelled before very alluring and sexy and sophisticated definitely going to try some more of his formulas and it last a very long time on me but I always spray a couple spritzed in my hair and a couple sprites on the collar of my top
Not a favorite. Very strong when applied, but can’t smell it later.
Not what I expected at first after a while it has a better smell.
This scent is alluring and beautiful. It lasts all day and is very very much a head turner. Hubs loves it and I will def be buying the full size bottle!
This grew on me. Still it is not my favorite. My husband really liked it though. It is almost spicy. I'm not sure if that is just how it is on me.
Wow, this scent gives you a serious kick to the nose...painfully. I would describe it as very very spicy, warm, oriental, and intense. I have a hard time imagining anyone actually wearing this. It almost smells more like an incense stick than a perfume. Quite serious, approach with caution.
I love this scent on me. It has a great longevity and is so pleasing to the senses
Smells good but for a older person.
Loved it!! My first time trying Tom Ford
I love it
Fragrance changes scent after wearing, not very long lasting either. Very strong initially and patchouli and incense quite noticeable. Good to try once.
I like the smell. My fiance and other people in my office though aren't huge fans. I've gotten the comment that it smells masculine but sweater, and is very strong - one spray is more then enough.
Not awful but smells very average and doesn’t last very long
Love it
Love it!
This smells odd. It smells like really sweet and a yoga studio at the same time.. Sending it back i think.
I think it depends on your body chemistry.. hard to describe this scent but I found out about it after following this gay guy through a store once.. lol it smells sexy on me I’m happy with this scent!
Not the smell for me but not bad. Smells better when it actually dries up on the skin. I enjoyed it but wouldn't do it again.
Very strong and smells like something an older lady would wear. I’m not quite sure why this fragrance is getting so many great reviews. I think the name is what sold this because it sure isn’t the scent itself.
This scent is amazing on my skin! I really love it, I will be buying this on to have it all the tie
I’m a 25 year old male, I had this fragrance when I met my woman 5 years ago. I had ran out and she told me this was a scent that she loved on me. Had to restock on that !
I don’t like it. Smells horrible on me but my mom loves it
Love it, this last on me all day.
Ill start with saying i am a huge TF fan. But this one is just not it. Very classic grandma scent
Longevity is nice. You wear this when you want to make power moves if that makes sense
Old lady. Gave it to grandma
I love black orchid! This is one of my favorite scents.
Strong old lady smell
It's too strong first thing my mom said when she smelled it on me was that smells like something ya grandmother would wear smh I wouldn't buy the full size at gun point
Scent is over powering at first but lasts long and is light throughout the Day scent itself was okay not completely in love
I was really excited for this bc of all the hype but it’s just okay
After all the hype, I was so excited to be getting this fragrance. Now I wish I had chosen something else. I love musky, deep, sultry scents but this one is a no-go for me. It’s too powdery, overwhelming and a sort of sickening sweetness follows as well. This is your bougie grandmother’s perfume, not a mature middle-aged woman’s like myself. I ended up giving it to my mother (haha go figure she’s a bougie grandmother lol).
It was incredibly overpowering. I sort of liked it at the initial spray, but then after 5-10 minutes I hated it. Several hours later it was light enough that I enjoyed it somewhat- but it was way too strong initially to tolerate it.
its a soft musk but so elegant at the same time. I truly love this perfume.
Amazing, multi-layered scent. There is an Oriental bouquet of fragrance. Romantic. Seductive. Enticing.
This is my absolute favorite. I actually had a man stop and ask me what I was wearing, so he could pick it up for his wife. ??
I love this scent it is so complex and so sexy that I can bathe myself in it and still will adore it. It is an intoxicating scent that changes after a few hours but it remains a mystery of undertones that make it so alluring.
I was so disappointed when I receive this fragrance in my subscription in April 2020...I watched and reviewed dozens YouTubers and other beauty experts who were given it the bests reviews stated that this smell is unique, sexy and just WOW in general...I was almost crying when first few drops fell on my skin - it seemed rough, powdery, heavy,too mature and just overwhelming for me! I was preparing it for an exchange, and used couple more times.. I've noticed that after first few 10-15 min of wearing it, the smell is getting mild and even raises my curiosity..So, I've decided to keep it, using more rarely than my usual ScentBox items. From now on - I will write my reviews only after good 3-4 use - even if it means to lose the privilege of exchange ...I have a feeling that I will develop a different relationship with that fragrance
Love it! It kinda has a unisex scent but, more feminine It does last long Fall & winter fragrance
I got this one with my points. I adore it. I went to price full size and cringed. Why is Tom Ford so expensive?
It’s very unique and you can tell it’s a great quality perfume. I wanted to adore it! However, it’s just too musky for me. I thought I’d get a floral note in there somewhere. My search continues!
I like this fragrance for the most part. It is quite strong. A little more floral than I expected.
I LOVE this fragrance, it is a great match for my chemistry and it lasts all day!! I am very happy that I chose this perfume, it’s definitely worth it!!
I absolutely ADORE this fragrance! I have smelt the men's version and it also an AMAZING scent! I am very happy with my decision on trying it out!
With this perfume I am always told that it smells fresh and wonderful. Long lasting also.
I simply love the fragrance it is very sexy and romantic however I enjoy smelling like perfume chest as well as other people smelling it after about an hour I no longer could smell the perfume and I didn't get one compliment on it so I'm not really sure how I feel about that
Love this perfume! I am attracted to deep dark oriental floral fragrances. This one fits the bill. I wanted to try this out before investing in an expensive bottle of perfume I may or may not like. Some people may think it smells masculine but in my opinion it smells like a mysteriously sexy sophisticated woman with confidence. Or at least that is how it makes me feel. A good fragrance is supposed to make you feel better about yourself or improve your mood, right?
When I first tried it on, it seemes to have a vanilla/cinnamon smell. But the longer I worn it the more it smelled like a Christmasy pine smell.. (very annoying smell for me) This is the first scent I've got from scentbox that I dont really care for.
Absolutely love it one of my all time favorites!!!
At first, it was so strong and in your face! But after a few seconds, it became this complex, feminine, sensual and sexy scent. And it lasts for hours! I still got hints of it the next morning. Total date night fragrance! So happy I got this one!
Absolutely love it. This is my new “date night” or any going out night fragrance!! Very sexy!!!
Very bold perfume. It's very nice. Reminds me of a mature romantic or sexy evening out. It's for sure a unisex fragrance. More for women, but a man could wear too.
I love love this scent. Very mature
It’s different ??
Do not care for it at all. Won’t be wearing this one.
Didn’t like it at all sorry
Receive so many compliments when I wear it. This along with Velvet Orchid are amazing, long lasting and not overly strong.
Absolutely beautifully fragrance!
Didnt like but didnt dislike.
You just need very very little very strong scent. It's a five-star restaurant sent.
It's quite sweet on the nose, nonetheless a very beautiful fragrance.
I love this scent! Ive recieved so many compliments.
Soooo many compliments and alluring enough that can be worn for all occasions
Absolutely a grown sexy scent. Love it
First notes are powdery. Scent stays well on clothing but fades quickly on my skin.
This perfume is interesting. It's definitely a winter perfume. It's bold but not unpleasant. I was hoping for a spicier scent. I like it but it's not really for me. I will still use it though. Others may like it better, worth a try!
I love the scent but it didn't stay on me for 10 minutes. It's not anything wrong with the perfume, it just doesn't work for me
I've wasted my money on lots of things, but this subscription definitely is NOT one of them! This scent is a head-Turner for sure! Super sexy and seductive. This scent seems to last longer on my body than some of the others. I need a full size bottle of this in my life for sure!
This is one of those fragrances that for me can just make me feel amazingly sexy, and the next day I just don't like it at all. It's a love/hate relationship I have with it. It doesn't last that long on me, drying down from a creamy gourmand to a very subtle powdery scent. I find it interesting it is named with an orchid as its inspiration because an orchid is very loyal & stable if kept in the same environment. The fragrance is a mystery, so perhaps the love/hate relationship I have with it is exactly how it should be experienced. Though for me, if I'm going to buy a fragrance and there was another option besides this one - I would pass.
This was a very hard NO for me. Smells like bug spray to me
This scent is purely depends on body chemistry. Smelling it from the bottle I was not impressed but once I sprayed it on my body, jackpot! Smells sexy, powerful and like money. I will definitely buy the full size bottle.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this luxe, sexy scent. Tom Ford never disappoints
I am absolutely loving this perfume.
Definitely not for everyone, but I loved it!! It’s a very rich, glamorous, seductive scent.
This fragrance is lovely and is as described. I would give it five stars except it seems to become subtle too quickly. I would purchase though for daytime office/work use.
This is a warm wintery spicy FEMALE scent. It is beautiful! It’s a bit edgy, yet also classic. I wear this for those “special nights” with my husband.
One of the best scents I've ever tried. Smells expensive, seductive and sexy. Deep and dark but also sensual.
This is my go to Winter scent, I get so many compliments when I wear it.
At first I though “ew smells like big spray” but once it dried down it was a beautiful, sultry, slightly spicy fragrance.
This is a beautifully mixed, rich scent. I gave it 3 stars because, yes, if I were to have smelled this on a man, it would work and work well. Simply put, it smells amazing after it fades a bit, but it is NOT a feminine scent. I would return it, but I think I'll slide it in my oldest son's stocking this year. ??
Smells to manly for me
I love this, very sexy smell. Deep rich sent.
This one not for me. I didn't care for this fragrance.
I love it. I like how long it lasts and I love the smell
Very nice fragrance
Love the smell and the fact that it lasts a long time. My go to scent.
I personally did not like this scent.. My fiancé said it smelled more like a man's cologne than a woman's perfume. He liked it for himself actually haha. I am returning this for a more daytime, lighter scent.
I recently sampled this fragrance by TF & I don't dislike it. I wasn't in love with the first layer of notes. But the dry down is lovely! It also seems to have great staying power! I would probably get a ScentBox sample but not the big bottle.
Lots of compliments beautiful fragrance....you have to experience it for yourself I say no more you... TF
I was looking for something similar to Coco Chanel Madamoiselle and this fragrance was recommended to me. It is similar, however this has a strong powdery scent to it. Overall I enjoy it. It's a nice dark scent and it lasted a good amount of time on m skin.
Sultry. Wait for the dry down.
Not for me. Too musky and masculine almost!
I lovvvvve the scent of it but it does not have a lasting effect!
Smells almost bad if you accidentally over spray but it does last a long time so a little goes a very long way!
I really, really love this scent. Very unique... not too "perfume-y."Smells like exotic spices... warm, elegant, mysterious.
Didn't like it, feel like it was to much of an older lady smell
It’s such a unique scent. I don’t think it works good with me, but I still wear it bc I enjoy it. Doesn’t last long
Love the smell but it doesn’t last long.
I didn't like it.
It has notes of musk and powder... I'm not a fan of musk and powder but there's just something about it that's alluring ....I feel like it's great date night perfume...I wouldn't wear it as a daily perfume but it's definitely a good one to have for fitting occasions or if your feeling suductive I feel like this could do the trick...and once it dries on it even better
This is not for me at all. I'm sorry. It's too strong. Too much patchouli. The good thing (for those who like the smell) is that a little goes a long way and it lasts a long time. That's why I gave it a 3/5.
Love the fragrance. something different I wouldn't normally pick
This scent is absolutely seductive. Its complicated and smells like a mysterious woman, classy yet sexy. I will say it is quite a polarizing scent. You will love it or hate it and there will be no "meh, its ok". A little goes a long way, which is not to say its overpowering. one spritz during my initial testing lasted all day until my shower that night. It somehow both sits close to the skin and radiates in the room. My fiancee prefers me in clean and flirty scents. Think Viva la Juicy or aqua di gioia so I figured he may not like this one. When he smelled it, he said "Daaaamn, I like that one!" This is the perfect place to give it a try because this perfume is NOT cheap. If you want a sexy, woman on the prowl, date night scent, give it a try! If your dolce and gabana light blue type of person, this scent is the polar opposite. They couldnt be further apart in perdonality.I like light blue A Lot, especially in summer but still somehow love this one. For all the reviews I heard saying it smelled like "an old lady" perfume.... It is SO not that. If this is elderly, sign me up! It is a mature, elegant, classy, sexy, mysterious scent. Some people cant handle it. Those who can will love it. Also, this scent changes many times with the dry down and your body chemistry effects it alot. It went from green, fresh and woody smelling initially on me to within 5 mins or so become earthy, woody, floral. The longer I wear it the more of a hint of Patchouli I get so if your not a fan of patchouli, woody, earthy but in a sexy, expensive way, you may not like.
Wish I could give it a 0 hate the smell!
Strong floral scent. I feel like I smell like grandma!
OMG!!! I love it, I returned one that I didn’t like at all. I chose this one and ?? I LOVE IT
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! The smell of Tom Ford's Black Orchid is sophisticated and elegant.
Love this. Combination of sultry, seductive, and sweetness. I am laughing at a review saying you need to be older to wear it. No, dear, you just need to be sexy enough to wear it. Stick to Victoria's Secret perfumes if you don't think you are old enough to wear this lol.
Very different from what I am used to but loved it!
A mature smell. Not my favorite. If you like that strong orchid smell then it’s for you. I prefer sweeter or fresher scents. But this one does smell better after settling on the skin. I did not like it at all at first try but after giving it s few minutes it smelled better and grew on me. I like don’t love.

I personally didn’t like it ... too strong
This one I do believe is my favorite so far! It’s a fragrance that reminds me of outdoors and it lasts so long! Definitely an amazing scent I 100% recommend
Loved it
Love it!
Long lasting scent! Love this! One Of my favorites.
Love it
Not bad but I never really wear this one. Not my favorite
One of my favorite! Very sexy smell
I super love this fragrance. I will purchase a full bottle! The scent is long lasting and amazing. I was complimented several times.
The smell is powerful! It’s a dominating scent and well people will take notice. Not what I would normally wear. I call it my “bossy” perfume because you have to have confidence to wear it and own it!
Didn't like this at all. Smells unisex, and too strong. I just know wearing this would cause me a headache. Sent back for an exchange.
not for me
I can't believe some of the reviews on this are so bad it smells amazing after it dries down.
Not what i will wear but, nice
Didn't like it at all..It didn't smell like the Black Orchard in the department store.
It’s a lovely perfume and VERY long lasting however I have to be a lot older to wear it. I would say 60+ range. It’s an elegant older woman’s perfume. Nonetheless, it was still lovely.
It's ok - haven't decided yet
This scent smelled something like a perfume from an older woman. It’s not something I will be ordering again. My mom enjoyed it though!
Just ew big time... worst mixture i've ever smelled in my life
Smelled like corn flour to me.....not my type of perfume..
Returned it and did and exchange.
I kept smelling something like cat urine.
Heavy at first but very, very nice later on. Love it after one hour.
It’s a little bit stronger than I thought it would be but it’s a beautiful scent.
Not sure how I feel... smells strong at first but then it kinda grew on me... I am still contemplating if I am going to exchange.
When I first braided on I didn't really like it but after about an hour or two it was very woodsy and sensual which for me is the element of a good fragrance
My new favorite. Sexy and strong.
This smell is bad wanted to try it but yuck!
Not my favorite, but every time I wear this scent. I get compliments.
It's certainly different. It's subtlely strong. Definite orchid smell. If you're not fond of orchids, don't get this one. Scent softens as it wears.
LOVE LOVE LOVE! it's dark, mysterious, but inviting. It's easily becoming my new favorite, ive worn it almost every day since it arrived. it's not too sweet, but just enough. the orchid has a very prominent scent in this one, the scent carries a ways. I know the price tag on this might scare you, but the smell will leave you wanting more.
I did not like the scent at all. Just did not smell good.
I tried this perfume because a lady came in my work and smelled so lovely I had to ask what she was wearing. Unfortunately it only smells good after it’s died down. The inital scent is so overwhelmingly strong musk, it’s definitely not my thing. After an hour it dies down and a soft scent of vanilla, orchid and slight musk remains but I don’t like choking out until it fades.
Excellent and soft ... It last for like 8 to 10 hr
OMG... Not my cup of tea!
It took a while to grow on me, but after about 2 days, I really grew to love it. Now, I’m using it every day & love the soft scent.
Do not get this this Fragrance smell reminds me of old People very Discusting all my co workers said it wasn't a a good smellig perfume
Love it!
Not for me. For a more mature woman 80 plus. ..
Love this scent! Nice and soft !
I Love this and it smells amazing.... Like ny other perfume it mixes with the bodies chemistry , it works for some and some it don't I love it.
Delicious fragrance. Floral with a deep amber undertone, feminine without being girly. Sexy. Super long lasting. LOVE this, will be buying the full size.
Very nice scent. It stays for a few hours but eventually fades out.
Love it
I fell in love with this scent. I feel like it’s a classy, serious and mysterios scent. Not all can pull it off. It’s strong but in a subtle way. A different scent and I love that. I feel like I stand out when I wear it. Never felt like that about a perfume! I get compliments when I use this scent and my man loves it. I will be buying the full size and lotion.
I love this fragrance! It’s bold , strong and has lasting power! Very very good!
The scent was more mature than I expected. I did not Love it. Would return if I could.
Ok fragrance.
Gross suffocating old lady perfume
Love It!!!
Love the scent lots of complements
I agree with the other reviews it’s strong but not overwhelming. I really like it.
It is very spicy, it didn't mesh very well with my natural scent. It smelled much better on a test strip than it did on me. I'm a little disappointed but glad I didn't waste my money on an entire bottle. It's not for me.
I like this fragrance.
Not a bad scent, but it is too overwhelming for me even though it fades out to some nice notes after a while. Definitely more on the masculine side.
Smells like men's fragrance. To musky for me. I would love it on a man or my granny.
I love it !!
The scent has a horrible smell when you first spray it on your body. Once it is settled in it smells better, however i would not recommend.
Love this scent!!!
Love this scent!!!
I’m obsessed with this scent! It is rich and beautiful??. Winter scent
Just a little fruity. Overall it's a fun fragrance. It's not overpowering.
favorite hands down!!!
I thought it stunk so bad. I got sick to my stomach and had headache. I would not recommend this to anyone.
Loved it
Love this and so does my husband... and tells me it’s so me! I like the notes and how long it lasts! A fav go to...
It's a little strong for me, but when new male acquaintance hugged me, he smelled it and said, that is NOT cheap perfume, that's some real stuff, not that Bath & Body stuff. I laughed!
Love it. Lots of compliments when I wear it
Unique..sexy..love the scent
Really dark spicy... to strong for me
I didn’t know if I would like this when I first smelled this fantastic scent. I love how this smells on my skin...and it’s still there 24 hrs later! I didn’t spray again after my morning shower. It’s a scent to try for sure.
I didnt like it for myself,was definitely a win for my 18 year old son.
I am giving 5 stars for its uniqueness. A scent that can be used on both genders, great performance. I actually use this in my car, it is a very interesting smell.
I love this scent (dude here) ! I found it when a friend was wearing it and I was like "What is that cologne / perfume I need to know and I need it !". It smells sophisticated, hard to describe, not exactly woody, not exactly floral, definitely not fruity or sweet. Mystical perhaps?? Either way I love it and definitely recommend it!
I love this fragrance ?? I have gotten so many compliments on it! I will be ordering a full size bottle of this!
This is one of my all time favorite scents. I had received a tiny sample of this in one of my subscription beauty boxes and used it up in a week. I was so excited to find it on here, i just wish you carried the full size version so I could purchase it from this site. I love this scent!
I wanted to like this but it is wayyyyy to strong for me. I have to say the next morning when I woke up I could still smell it and I actually liked the next morning scent. I gave it to my mother and she flipped out and thought it was wonderful. She is in her 70’s.
I love this scent!!!!!!
It is absolutely heavenly. Iove this scent. Long lasting not overpowering..can't wait for the white patchouli
Horrible
Not a favorite to say the least. It smells old lady-ish. It's not a bad scent, in fact I did get a couple of compliments from some older ladies at church. It's just not, in my opinion, for a female in her 20's. It's an interesting scent, it's not perfect. Would I purchase a bottle? Probably not. This is why I love Scent Box.
I wasn't sure if I'd like this one, but I do. The top notes aren't my favorite though. At first, it's very loud and strong, not in the best way. However, it gets better on my skin after about 30 minutes and the dry down is lovely. I've only worn it twice so, I'm gonna need a little more time with it.
It's not perfect, in my opinion there's something a little off to the combination of the top notes, but maybe it's this imperfection that I like. It's such an evocative and alluring scent in it's complexity. That not quite harmony of the floral, the sweet, and the woody, chocolate base notes. As a man, there are times when I love wearing this. It's a fragrance that tests the boundaries of what's masculine and feminine in such a tantalizingly seductive way.
I love the smell even though it’s kind of strong at first.
Way stronger than I like.
I love, love, love this scent! It's spicy, sexy, and warm. It's a strong scent, so not everyone will like it, but it's one of my favorites. It's vanilla/patchouli/orchid that fades down to vanilla chocolate.
Love it! Strong, like me :) I get so many compliments.
This fragrance is remarkable. I highly recommend it. I love this fragrance!!!
I love how "spicy" this smells :D
I really like this perfume so far. My husband loves it on me. Not sure that it would be a daily wear for me but I really like it!
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!! This is one of my favorite scents. It smells soooooooooo good and it lasts a long time. I will continue to buy this fragrance... FOREVER!!!!
Strong
It’s ok. I love Tom Ford Noir and soleil Blanc but this wasn’t a good one for me. Too potent and not gentle enough for me.
I enjoyed this scent. My girlfriend didn’t like it but that’s because she’s much more partial to the citrus scents. I read that men also wear this scent so I may have to try it out on myself. Based on some of the other reviews who think it’s too masculine, this may work better for me!
Not particularly attractive to me. I wouldn't purchase the fragrance otherwise.
I was not a fan of this fragrance as it was too strong. I tried to just wear it anyway, but could not take the strong smell, even with just one spray.
I see the possibility in this fragrance. Too "woodsy" for a woman. Better suited for a man for the fall. Too expensive. I would not purchase nor want someone to gift this to me.
Too strong for a woman
I was so excited to get this and then I didn’t care for it to much. That’s why I love SCENTBOX! I don’t have to spend a WHOLE LOTA money to find out and I can go on trying different scents!
It smells awful. I had to wash it off!
Smelled to masculine; didn't last long at all. I was truly disappointed in this scent for sure.
Love this scent. It's so warm and sexy. My boyfriend went crazy over it.
It goes on rather strong, however, the die down is soft and powdery to me. This fragrance is definitely a keeper. I just wish it lasted longer, no worries though, I have a purse size to take with me.
Love this scent. It's so warm and sexy. My boyfriend went crazy over it.
Horrible
It smells like men's Cologne
The scent makes me sick. It smells of old musty lady
Not too sure if I love it but I know I don't really hate it
Love everything about this scent!
I did not like the fragrance. It was too mature for me. It reminded me of how my grandfather smelled
My boyfriend loves it. It changes as the day goes on. Masculine on me and very woodsy with a sweet coconut undertone. I could see making this my staple fragrance.
My favorite so far
The scent is nice but it smells more like a men's fragrance than a women's to me
Loved it it was very mysterious and smelled very expensive.
Its definitely different. Not necessarily in a good way. A little to dark for my scent
I wasn't too crazy about this fragrance. It was missing something for me
This one smells different than the one in the store
I love it!! I love amber and dark scents. Makes you feel pretty!!
To earthy for me but has a sweet under scent I like
Very strong scent...not an everyday fragrance and it reminds me of an older persons scent
Amazing
I really like this scent
I did not like this smell at all nothing about it smelled good it has a weird strong old lady smell to it my husband said that perfume stinks lol
Way to strong, I'm a light scent kinda girl. To be completely honest I don't think I'd like it even if it was lighter. Something about the smell makes me sick to my stomach. I've heard from so many people that this fragrance is absolutely amazing. I guess, everyone has their own opinion but it makes my skin crawl. It reminds me of something for older women maybe, I get a grandmother vibe from it.
love it
I bought this fragrance for my wife at Printemp in Paris 1yr ago. Friends of my wife loved it but they could not get it here. Well now you can and men buy it for your wife or girlfriend. She will love it
A one in a million fragrance. Sensual and complex. Just when you think you have it figured out, another scent wafts through. I love the mysteriousness of it!
it,s the best perfume for me .and a luxury for smart men
This is a full-bodied fragrance. It smells very strongly of orchid. Definitely a woman's fragrance. The dry-down on this one is fantastic. Perfect for a romantic winter evening.
You won't be able to get enough of this sensational perfume. It is very complex and ehudes one scent after another. It is dark and mysterious. This is for a woman - not a girl. I highly recommend this one. I am really surprised that it has not been discovered and made very popular. Let it dry down, inhale its tantalizing aroma and you are hooked.
This is unusual - initial blast of fruits almost knocks you out - then orangey and spicy which is nice - but i haven't found a good way of wearing it yet as it is a bit too strong for me
I can't believe that I am the first one to review this fragrance. The description given here, on Perfume Emporium, is as good as it can be. This fragrance is truly luxurious. There is a mysterious quality to it that will keep you sniffing to see what you will discover next. Different and alluring. A must try for the people who love fragrances.
The top notes - oh my Middle Notes - ummmmm Bottom Notes - this is heaven To be appreciated by the wearer and even more by those around. Expect compliments... even from strangers. This one is the one! Enjoy.
but can not afford this one. I was going off a lot of *Barbara W* 's reviews. I love her posts and oppinions and whenever I try her suggestions, or Judi W's or Robin's they just seem to fit what I look for in scents! Love having this review board....we are so fortunate, no!? Anyway, as I said, I can not afford the $ on this one, but I have purchased from a company (home made) called somethinspecial.com for YEARS. She does a DEAD ON (IMO) copycat of this and I purchased the heavily scented body cream (shea butter) and a roll on perfume oil of her version of Tom Ford's Black Orchid. Compliments galore. I know some people consider this tacky, or morally wrong, but you really can not "own" a smell. It is everyones interpretation of scents. And to me, that just makes good common "sense" :) Cheers!
This is my signature since that perfume was born and it WILL BE FOREVER! Thank you Tom Ford!!!
it is the loveliest scent what i ever have worn.it is magic and glorious.it is divine. i advise every woman to buy it. this fragrance is the classic version.this is a sophisricated and unique scent.i am in love with it as men fall in love with you when you smell black orchid.
