Oud 24 Hours
by Ard Al Zafraan

Not as complex as Tom Ford's Black Orchid, but at £12.50 who cares! Great longevity (lasts over 12 hours) and sillage (an atomiser I decanted into leaked slightly and my toiletry bag wafted of this for weeks). This is defintely unisex but only for the confident male!

I'm glad I tried black orchid before this ..oud 24 hours is a very good clone of black orchid but not quite as dense, it's more fleeting but that doesn't mean to say it's weak, this performs really well ..it will survive a night out put it that way. Quality wise it is very close, as with other clones they can smell a bit scratchy compared to the real thing but this is well blended. Generally I get a sweet chocolate oud with a touch of patchouli. Totally unisex in this day and age. The best thing is , at time of writing, oud 24hrs can be bought for 12 pound , astonishing value. In a bar or room not a single person will tell the difference.

Yes, it is TF Black Orchid.
No oud, so I don't know what's up with the name.
That said, I don't know why anyone would buy the TF when this exists, especially at the cost difference.
Very strong, so be careful especially in the summer time. I prefer it in the winter.

One note: there are nuanced differences between this and Black Orchid, but very hard to tell.

After spending a full day with Oud 24 Hours, the fragrance lives up to its name. However, I don't detect oud and it's not listed in the notes. My nose detects a woodsy, fruity chocolate vibe and it's quite strong, so be careful on the trigger.

Ultimately, it's 95% similar to Tom Ford's Black Orchid and it's a fraction of the price. Knowing Oud 24 Hours exists makes me unable to justify the price of Black Orchid.

If you like Black Orchid, this offering is for you. I'm quite pleased with the fragrance, performance and price.

Rather impressive clone of Tom Ford Black Orchid - with just as much staying power - for about a tenth of the cost.
