The character of Black Orchid, composed our way.
🌑 Nightfall Essence Inspired by Tom Ford Black Orchid Concentration: Extrait de Parfum Nightfall Essence is the dark one: truffle and dark chocolate over patchouli, intense and somehow subtle, the scent buyers of the original put on at dawn and still catch at bedtime. One spray, two if you're feeling bold. Extrait strength, our own...
Wear it for dinners and after dark · cold weather and coats · meetings and quiet authority. Worn by everyone — we don’t split scent by gender.

Straight answers.
Will people think I’m wearing Black Orchid?
That is exactly what it was built to do. Nightfall Essence was composed to land in the same register as Tom Ford's Black Orchid, at 30% extrait de parfum — roughly double the fragrance oil of a designer eau de parfum. It is our own formula rather than theirs, and that is precisely why it is $34.99 instead of $240. You keep the impression, and the $205.
Is this a Black Orchid dupe?
Most people call it that, and we are comfortable with the word. What you are buying is an original LXPERFUME composition built to sit in the same scent register as Tom Ford's Black Orchid at extrait strength — sold openly under our own name, in our own bottle, at $34.99. We compose rather than copy, which is why our name goes on the front and why we will take it back for thirty days if it is not for you.
How long will it last?
Six to eight hours, and often past midnight on fabric. Extrait de parfum carries 30% fragrance oil — about twice a typical designer eau de parfum — so it is still working long after a lighter concentration has gone. Spray it on moisturised skin at the pulse points and you will get the full arc.
What does it cost me?
$34.99, against roughly $240 for the designer bottle — 30ml at $34.99, 50ml at $44.99, 100ml at $54.99, and the largest size works out cheapest per millilitre. Every order ships free in the U.S., and any two bottles take $10 off automatically. You have thirty days to change your mind, even after opening it — so the only real risk is that you like it.
