A Black Orchid Parfum review doesn't not count until The Queen does it. I don't trust very many reviewers like I trust you. Queen, you have never let me down. I have been rocking with you since day one and you've always been right in my opinion.
eva monroe- I love Black Orchid. Great choice. But, please share your favorite Roja Dove fragrance. What fragrance should I try first- but have to save up my coins first
I felt that way about Tom Ford Black Orchid when I first tried it. I was like this is “different” (earthy) but the dry down is everything! Thanks for the honest straightforward opinion. We are here for it!
Black Orchid is the bomb. I love it and I live in a hot country and I wear this baby and I feel like the queen that I am. Really agree with you regarding redundancy in perfumes, especially from the same brand. Love your reviews!
Hey Queen Eva, I have both and I really like the dry down of the gold bottle, I received a lot of compliments and I almost like it better than the black bottle, I love fragrances with plum, truffle, booze....I’ll keep both bottles cause it is a slight difference imo....
I love black orchid! I have several Tom fragrances, but that one is one of my favs. I think I pd about $100 and it was a steal. Flankers don't really move me and I wouldn't have bought it anyway, but thanks for the info. Im on a perfume buying hiatus right now, but I am saving my coins for my next acquisition... Roja Dove Creation E is on the horizon. Thanks Queen👏🏽💜
I just got a sample of the black orchid and omg i am in heaven. I absolutely love it! it starts out strong but oh my goodness when it wears down it is so nice. I want to wear it everyday that is how much I love it. I trust your opinion about fragrances so I had to get the sample of the black orchid and I love it so much. I will definitely be buying a bigger bottle☺️
I L🥰VE this fragrance. I grabbed a gift set with the purse size included last year and even though I still have a lot left, I considered getting another bottle because I need to have it forever! 😆
Good morning, I hope all is well with you and yours. I recently purchased the TOM FORD: Black Orchid: Black Bottle. I see it says Parfume, can men wear this Fragrance ?
I bought my bestie the black bottle and she RAVED about it.I bought myself the gold bottle, not knowing there was a difference, and I wasn't as in love as she was. Now I know why. Gonna buy the black bottle unboxed just to have them both and see if my son will like the gold bottle. 🙂
I purchased the edp a few years ago and ended up giving it away to my mother in-law...couldn't take those old lady floral..I did love the truffle tho...the Gold bottle is perfect for a man who likes the black orchid dna without those florals 💪🏾
OH NO !!!!! I like the new version better . I love the boozy aspect / RUM .i had the older version and that dryness gives it more masculine appeal . Original is good but the gold one suits me better .I may do a small 10 ml because Rose Prick and Soleil neige have stolen my heart in a awesome way .
Hey beautiful! So glad to see your opinion on this. I've had this in and out of my cart for MONTHS! 😆 This and Angelique Noire are my "Do I pull the trigger" fragrances smh
You said it, everything that you said about the Parfum compared to the EDP is exactly why I love it and why I think it leans masculine. If there is a such thing as sophisticated, chic dirt, with a punch and uniqueness...it's this.
Well I have the original one and it's one of my signature scents so freaking love it but I was curious about the gold one as I heard too many positive reviews about it. I tried it out and the opening was too strong for me almost repulsive. But let me tell you that about an hour later it dried down soooo beautifully on my skin and smelled heavenly ✨️ so so sexy like I was wearing the most expensive lotion on earth it smelled very luxurious on me and had many compliments on it. 💛
I've always preferred Black Orchid on a man personally. You may appreciate Tom Ford's Noir de Noir which is also dark, rich, sweet, earthy. The notes are Saffron, Rose, Truffle, Vanilla, Patchouli, Oud, Oakmoss.
Great review....I never had the original but I recently bought the new flanker and I’m enjoying it. I Can’t wait till it gets a little cooler in NY so I can wear it.
I feel as though is another hype to the original. And if it's not broke why fix it. I will stick with the original it works for me. I like your opinions on these fragrance to me you on point. Thank you for the review❤
For me, when choosing ONE of these, as a man… there is no question, the Parfum is more masculine by far. They are similar, but the Parfum is the male version of the black.
The gold bottle drove my co-workers nut! Had them in a frenzy, they all came out of nowhere saying what is that, I mean it was absolutely hypnotized by the scent, my Creed Adventist didn't even get that kind of reaction... The 2020 in the gold bottle is the way to go
I have been wearing black orchid since 2006 and l have been excited waiting to smell the new parfum...l get what you mean and sure do agree...but l want it.l have all the orchids and love each one but as you Eve said black orchid is my best♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I ordered from Sephora and selected another fragrance sample, and they sent me Black Orchid. It is nice...I sneezed...but I have allergies. I will be buying a bottle for my Mom though!
I need a decant because I just want to know! I love the original one though! I’m with you Eva! I want to be blown away and I don’t want redundancy in my fragrances either.
I guess I'm one of those few people who get out of the Parfum what I don't from the EDP 😂 Which, surprisingly, isn't about strength or longevity, but rather less gardenia in the opening and more sweetness/booziness (to my nose at least!)
They say noses change, I am still holding on to my black orchid decant hoping to like one day. I know, Im in the hate list for now. I agree, I get mad if I blind buy and it smells like something I already own. I like uniqueness in each fragrance.
Maybe the parfum is little bit more masculine then the EDP, because about the rum,I prefer the parfum but not by much, they're a very gorgeous fragrances,classy and sophisticated
I personally love the fragrance, so does my girlfriend but Idk am I the only one who thinks it is hard to smell it. Like people really need to be very close to the places where I applied it in order to feel it.
I receive compliments every time I wear Black Orchid, I get "you smell so good" instead of what perfume are you wearing, which I believe are two different compliments....I wanted to wait for your review, I think I'll pass on this one. 😘😘😘
Hi Mrs. Monroe. I love your videos and really admire your fragrance collection. Quick question...where do you spray the perfume? I never know where exactly to spray. Neck, chest, wrists, behind knees, clothes? Are you spraying after shower and lotion? Or after getting dressed? I need to be schooled, then I'd like to share with my friends....cause we've been debating on how to wear fragrance. One more thing, I have F-ing Fabulous and Lost Cherry too. If I layer, does it matter which one I spray first? Thx!!!!
I don't think they created the parfum because they wanted to improve on the original. More than likely it was created to be more appealing to men so they could widen and reinvigorate sales. I own the new one and have smelled the original. The original is most definitely more feminine
Hi Eva. I think I am in a true minority. I don't know what it is about Black Orchid... It just doesn't like me. I have the original in the black bottle and I went back and sprayed it on my skin after watching your review and it was still a no for me. I am considering trying this one ... perhaps this version will like me back.🙄
Pam Jordan _ Pam FAM! I love black orchid, but you have to spray it on & wait 15-20 minutes for the dry down. This is a perfume I personally can’t spray & go. So try it again & smell after the dry down & it will blow you away.
Wavy Waves thank you so much for the feedback. I mentioned it in 2 of my own reviews and received the same advice from others about waiting for the dry down as well. I tried it again tonight and literally waited almost an hour for the scent to change on me. I liked it, but I don’t know if I have the patience... because it was still a meh for me😳.
Gotta tell you I like the original but love the "dirty" gold bottle. Earthiness is legit and women need to rock it more. So sick of rose and vanilla type scents(gross). I love scents like Nasomatto Baraonda and By the Fireplace. People need to start embracing funk. Drive down is magical on goldie. Oud wood scents are also ethereal. Keep doing you.
Skip the price and get Beverly Hills Polo Club Champion...DEAD ON with Tom Ford Back Orchid for $12.99 . It's crazy. Just like Blaze smells just like Spice bomb and ignite smells just like polo red extreme.
Good morning. I hope this message finds you and yours well. I was recently encouraged to purchase the TOM FORD: Black Orchid: Black Bottle. I can't get a clear answer. Should men or women wear this fragrance ?
@eva great video but i was wondering , i just started a unique fragrance oil business for the home or to spay in your car. just 2 or 3 spays will have your car or home smelling fabulous 3 or 4 days i would like to send u some sample if possible thanks
Sister Eva and family, i have a question. I purchased white diamonds, and I'm not a fan. My daughter says it smells like her grandmother. Should I try to layer it with something or just give to her grandmother?
Courtney Cherry, I haven't smelled that in years. However, I will say that when I wore that back in the day, you couldn't tell me nothing. It probably has that vintage vibe that I sometimes don't mind. I say If you like it, Keep it and wear it. If your daughter is anything like my son, you know sometimes they try to clown us. 😂
For me..Black Orchid (Black bottle) original - my signature..my happy pefume ..the one I put it on and everyone loves it on me..I love myself so mush with..I call it - sex in a bottle
