Transcript:
Tom Ford Black Orchid hits ya with a syrupy, almost fermented mix of mushroomy chocolate and berries. The oozy over-ripeness peaks with a cheesy note before it softens to leather.
Way to make an entrance!
Real black orchids naturally have a sweet, cocoa-vanilla scent, and it’s no wonder that they inspired this debauched concoction. But ten minutes in, Black Orchid lightens up into something a little aquatic. I smell the shadow of pineapple, which vibrates between sweetness and piss.
This reminds me that Tom Ford’s input on Black Orchid was to request that it “smell like a man’s crotch”. All I can say is that Tom’s had his nose in some pretty high-class groins, because this thing is a million miles away from a party in a public toilet. Capiche?
This eau de parfum keeps getting more watery and floral as it lifts off the skin. After it settles in, it thins out to low-key woodiness. It pretty much blows its wad at the top.
Overall, Black Orchid is bold and pleasingly weird. It’s an oceanic oriental that makes an exotic evening scent for the ladies, and a great non-clichéd choice for men. I’m Katie Puckrik, and I smell.

My only technique is repetition. Smell enough different perfumes with sandalwood or iris, and you begin to recognize it when you come across it.
And reading all the wonderful perfume blogs and writers out there is so educational and inspiring, too.

Yeah! I know, everyday I try very hard to train myself smelling every possible smell, but come on!! you know there are some secrets you use, and a kind of techniques to keep smells in your mind!
Your own nose can …
Your own nose can teach you. Just put a little consciousness into your everyday smelling – all smells: food, nature, people, perfume. You’ll start to make connections, and to be able to remember them. It’s all about where you put your focus. And how much a “fume-nerd” you are!
Oh my Gosh!! …
Oh my Gosh!! CHOCOLATE!!! Katie what a perfum!! And I love how do you describe and use those technical words of an absolute nose! Could you teach me please? =)
Angel is all about …
Angel is all about the chocolate/cotton candy/patchouli, and while Black Orchid has a chocolate note, it’s more restrained, and blended with florals. Black Orchid isn’t as loud and penetrating as Angel, and not as “edible”.
