The review
Worth a try. That is where Oud Orchid lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Black Orchid.
Ard Al Zaafaran sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Black Orchid's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Ard Al Zaafaran publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
What it is chasing: truffle, gardenia and black currant up top, orchid, spices and lotus in the middle, patchouli, vanilla and incense underneath — the shape of Tom Ford Black Orchid.
Top
- truffle
- gardenia
- black currant
Heart
- orchid
- spices
- lotus
Base
- patchouli
- vanilla
- incense
A lush, dark oriental of orchid, truffle and chocolate; unmistakable, seductive and boldly glamorous.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
