The original Black orchid movie was a dramatic story with our all time favorite Sophia Loren and Anthony Queen as main actors. Another drama which came from the name is the astounding Tom Ford perfume, which has already become one of my favorites.

Perfume Critic puts it so much better than I would:

"As the scent relaxes on the skin, the richness of the beautiful basenotes (sweet balsam and sandalwood, especially) becomes more evident, all resting on a creamy vanilla accord - not your typical vanilla, but as noted above, similar to the vanilla used in Comptoir Sud Pacifique fragrances, almost like a buttercream.
Here's the best part - there's a little "dirty/kinky" in Black Orchid, a slightly yucky accord, and I'm guessing it's the earthy truffle. Wish it lasted slightly longer, as a little "yuck" can be a good thing...but I'm more than happy with where the scent goes instead."

So, if you'r eready to make your everyday world a bit more luxurious, surf to Neiman Marcus. Bottles of Tom Ford's Black Orchid go from $90 to $600.
