2022

Dark orchid, truffle, and chocolate wrapped in incense and patchouli — gothic, opulent, and unmistakably Black Orchid for a fraction of the price.

The take

What works

  • A near-exact Black Orchid clone — the dark orchid, truffle, and chocolate accord is all there
  • Opulent and rich in cold weather; a proper winter statement
  • Absurd value at around $20

Trade-offs

  • A little rougher and less refined than the Tom Ford up close
  • The dark, heavy profile is polarizing and strictly cold-weather
