Tom Ford Black Orchid Reserve was released in 2025. Notes of bergamot, truffle, black orchid, ylang, dark chocolate, tonka, patchouli and vanilla. This is the parfum.
From the brand - "A force of nature, TOM FORD's iconic Black Orchid in a deeper, darker chypre floral dimension. An increased dosage of ylang ylang adds new luminosity, its sparkling floralcy flecked with effervescent timut pepper. A blackened roasted tonka note smolders in the background while a black truffle accord exudes an elegant earthiness. The rich woody quality of patchouli mingles with amber tones. A study in the beauty of contrast — light and shadow discover they are one in this transformative fragrance. TOM FORD's prize-winning floral scent meets the phantom-like Ghost Orchid accord in this amplified dimension of Black Orchid."
Fragrantica - "Much more sensual through the heart and base with the dark chocolate amped up and the truffle adding a more earthy effect compared to the other flankers. The opening seems to be brighter and more floral than the others but deepens very quickly. So far, this could be my favorite black orchid flanker."
Fragrantica - "It dried down to a beautiful, black orchid but with a creamy dark choc / patchouli-esque scent. It’s WONDERFUL. I’m excited for the guys and gals who REALLY know how to articulate themselves and tell the story on this. They aren’t sure if this will indeed become a limited edition or not so to the true fans out there, this is a must try! Needless to say I preordered this."
