The perfume bottle is black with gold accents, but you can find a gold variant.

It’s simple, modern, and sexy - typical Tom Ford. You’ll find the brand and fragrance printed in a black square. The packaging for Tom Ford Black Orchid is a rectangular box with gold ridges running the length of the box. We like the simple design of the fragrance bottle. The bottle and carton complement each other, reversing the black and gold color pattern but keeping the embossed ridges on both. The subtle blend of the different accords can be very interesting if you like perfuming your hair, but we don’t recommend layering this fragrance with others because of its rich profile. It’s definitely the right fragrance for a special occasion with its warm, spicy, and exotic profile. The initial lighter notes are fresh and suitable for the afternoon, but it’s best to leave the bolder middle and base notes for evening wear. We recommend applying this perfume later in the day for something you would wear in the evening. The middle and base notes have a warm and spicy profile with bold wood tones and the mix of patchouli and vanilla that becomes more noticeable. The top notes emphasize the citrus and flowery scents. However, we think this fragrance is too bold for spring due to its exotic profile. The exotic flowery notes and light citrus scent make it suitable for summer, but the dominant spice and vanilla notes make this fragrance perfect for the colder months.
