Black Orchid EDP

Black Orchid EDP by Tom Ford is catalogued as a women's fragrance in a 100 ml bottle. An eau de parfum sits in the upper half of the concentration scale: strong enough to carry through a working day, restrained enough to wear in an office. A spray on clothing or in the hair lasts longer than one on skin, though it can shift the balance of the scent and mark delicate fabrics. A discounted listing is only a saving if it is the same size and edition as the one beside it. Heat and light are what spoil a fragrance, not age — stored properly, an unopened bottle keeps its character for a long time. The best deal and the cheapest sticker price are not always the same listing once delivery is counted.
