Black Orchid by Tom Ford

This fragrance intrigued me from the second I heard about it. The list of notes appealed to me a great deal (Top notes are listed as Black Truffle, Ylang, Bergamot and Black Current, the middle notes mix dark floral with dark fruits, and the base notes are listed as patchouli, incense, vetiver and warm vanilla). It sounded dark enough to capture my attention. When I finally got my hands on a sample my initial reaction wasn't altogether positive. I found that first spray very strong and overpowering. After a few minutes, however, I was in love. It is dark, it is exotic, and it has a definitive licorice scent on my skin. I would not recommend this fragrance for the meek at heart. It is bold and seductive. An added bonus is that the bottle is stunning!
