Black Opium Zebra: Limited Valentine's Day Edition
Passionate about perfume, Tom Ford joined forces with the great Givaudan to be able to offer from 2006 the fabulous and now great classic Black Orchid. Mysteries, seductions, luxury and voluptuousness, Black Orchid is the very essence of Tom Ford style ...
Black Orchid or the sensual perfume par excellence ...
Tom Ford is a stylist who does not seek consensus. From his beginnings in 1990 at Gucci, the famous Milanese fashion house, to his remarkable stint among the Yves Saint-Laurent collections, Tom Ford has established his sensual, daring and slightly provocative label. By creating his own house after his difficult departure from Gucci, Tom Ford has once again established the codes of his couture which is both elegant and very porn-chic, a style now widely represented in fashion.
In love with perfumery from a young age, it was logical for Tom Ford to add to his first men's haute couture creations the creation of a perfume house in close connection with the house Givaudan. From this partnership was born in 2006 the legendary Black Orchid like a new flower which would only be discovered by those able to see its beauty. "Nothing is more desirable than what is unattainable" said Tom Ford.
Because yes Black Orchid, make no mistake about it, is a perfume for initiates, a rare perfume which is intended to perfectly represent the refined delicacies of Tom Ford's couture. Moreover, the visuals created for Black Orchid are also adorned with this astonishing contrast between heightened sensuality and sober elegance. So we discovered over the years magnificent languid muses (Julia Restoin Roitfeld at the beginning and more recently Cara Delevingne) and little covered selling us the pleasures of this Black Orchid so particular, so vintage and at the same time so modern.
Black orchid, truffle and delicacies for Tom Ford's Black Orchid
In order to highlight the astonishing contrasts of this beautiful Black Orchid, the bottle plays with the art deco style to offer us a juice of absolute modernity. Indeed, the thick black glass of Black Orchid reminds us with a certain daring of the bakelite bottles of the 1950s, as does the vaporous muslin atmosphere of the very first visual.
The beautiful oriental Black Orchid composed by David Appel and Pierre Négrin will first be discovered in a very fresh and fruity citrus light with lemon, mandarin and blackcurrant notes. At the heart, the solar and opulent ylang-ylang comes to meet the delicate jasmines and gardenias. Finally, a furiously spicy wind appears under the features of pepper, cinnamon and ginger to mingle even better with intense woody notes of patchouli, sandalwood and vetiver. The smoke of incense is counteracted by gourmet notes of vanilla and a salty effect, the famous black truffle effect.
