Tom Ford Black Orchid Reserve Review | Better Than the Original?

Tom Ford’s done it again, or has he? In today’s video, I dive deep into Black Orchid Reserve, a brand-new 2025 launch and flanker to the iconic Black Orchid fragrance. I picked this one up during the recent 15% off sale at Neiman Marcus, and I have thoughts, from the bottle design to the revamped scent profile featuring a black orchid accord, ghost orchid, roasted tonka, patchouli, black truffle, and more.

Is this new version better than the OG? Is it just a marketing move in a fancy bottle, or does it truly stand apart? Plus, I’m giving you my take on how Black Orchid Reserve stacks up against both the original EDP and Parfum.

Stick around after the outro for my first impressions on the upcoming Oud Voyager, another new Tom Ford release coming soon!

A force of nature, TOM FORD's iconic Black Orchid in a deeper, darker chypre floral dimension. An increased dosage of ylang ylang adds new luminosity, its sparkling floralcy flecked with effervescent timut pepper. A blackened roasted tonka note smolders in the background while a black truffle accord exudes an elegant earthiness. The rich woody quality of patchouli mingles with amber tones. A study in the beauty of contrast — light and shadow discover they are one in this transformative fragrance.

TOM FORD's prize-winning floral scent meets the phantom-like Ghost Orchid accord in this amplified dimension of Black Orchid.
