But it's a unique concoction and was very original at its launch date (it has been copied several times since then).On clean skin, spray once or twice on desired areas. Do not rub the fragrance on skin, as this can alterhow the fragrance develops. For this scent, I get deep, dark, EARTHY chocolate. It's very rich and dense which translate to luxurious and opulent instead of candy-sweet and playful chocolate. There is definitely a fruity accord to match, and again, it's done in a way where it's rich and decadent. Just adding a hint of sweetness to the deep earthy chocolate. It never goes full gourmand since it does smell like you've unearthed this chunk of dark chocolate from under an old tree and it still has all the soil around it. You wouldn't really want to eat it. All in all, even though I don't get a huge difference between the parfum and the EDP, I'm not terribly disappointed. Now I have about 200 ml instead of only 100 ml of a fragrance that's really enjoyable to my nose! 😊👍 BOP opens with an earthy, vegetal truffle note, similar to the real thing as in the EDP. It is richer and longer-lasting here, complemented to perfection by the boozy rum note. It is quite balsamic. Besides the temperature limitation, I picture it as an accompaniment to a romantic but luxurious dinner date or even when going to the club or a bar where the party is at. It is a rich and sexy scent, it has a dark aura that would work best for night occasions, but some days, formal events would fit as well.

The note of orchid doesn’t have a particular smell, so you won’t be able to detect it, it is a fantasy note that fragrance crafters tend to create from other, synthetical nuances. The atomizer on the original one has a shinier, more goldish color and looks very clean and nice, while the fake one has a pale and rustic design. Striking since its inception, this unisex fragrance continues to envelop all genders in a world of its own. On my skin the Parfum is the smoothest, creamiest and sweetest version. ( it’s not a sweet fragrance but has a syrupy/boozy quality to it). I find it easier to wear day to day than the EDP. Longevity is good (8 hours) - better than the EDT, not as long wearing as the EDP.

Many people also smelled the truffle (mushroom) note, which has a musky, ambery, animalic scent, and even though my nose didn’t detect it, it doesn’t seem yours won’t. Finally, for the next few hours I can detect a vanillic boozy note- it's not overpowering since the earthy chocolate and fruit are still there, but it adds a nice "come sniff me again and again" aspect to the fragrance. It’s a professionally blended composition that requires strong, blending skills that Tom Ford tends to invest in its high-quality scents. The left side of the shirt, that probably was rubbed with my left wrist sprayed with BO Parfum, is smelling heavenly (truffles, vanilla, chocolate and liquor).
