Tom Ford Black Orchid Eau de Parfum

This was a blind buy, so I sprayed lightly at home before wearing it outside. Projection is moderate, which I actually prefer for office days. I already sent the link to a friend who asked about it. I also checked it over the weekend during wear 2, and it remained comfortable up close.

The fragrance itself was fine, but the courier crushed the outer box and one cap arrived cracked. The seller arranged a replacement quickly, so the low score is for delivery. I also checked it on a paper strip during wear 4, and it did not become sharp.

The parcel was delayed for several days and tracking barely moved. The seller replied patiently and added a sample later. The scent was okay; logistics lowered the score. I also checked it during a normal office day during wear 2, and it did not become sharp.

This was a blind buy for me, and it turned out better than expected. It has a clean floral feel, not loud, but people can still notice it when they are close.

The packaging felt secure when it arrived. I sprayed it right away, and the Black Truffle, Ylang-Ylang, Bergamot opening made a very good first impression.
