Black Origami

This has become a comfort scent for me I wear before bed and it helps me drift away. It s creamy and dreamy. I have owned Black Orchid and this checks all the boxes. Today I bought Bentley Absolute, Papyrus Oud 71, and as I came to my room to chill and sprayed my Black Oragami, I decided to get a second bottle while it is still $17/100ml on Amazon! I have worked hard recently and have earned a couple small and one big purchase (I got the 100ml Papyrus Oud 71 for $165 on eBay. It has been a while since I bought expensive cologne. My last 2 purchases, a 75ml and a 125ml of Fleur du Male from Gaultier. (I bought one fake one also earlier but finally got lucky.) I don't think they are cloning this level of Niche so hopefully it will be fine. I wore Gucci Pour Homme during the best 10 years of my life, living on Venice Beach having big parties,.. I already own Bond #9 Dubai Platinum, I bought Bentley Absolute and Papyrus Oud 71 today, now I will have all the relevant fragrances from the same Parfumeur who made Gucci Pour Homme (incidentally the one Ron Jeremy wore LOL I saw his cologne on Celebrity Big Brother UK LOL), I am so excited to have made a big purchase on a premium Niche meant to honour my favorite cologne of all time! I will update with impressions. Of both! Bless!

Love this one 90% dupe of Tom Ford Black Orquid edp. It is not as 3dimensional and rich as the Tom Ford but it is so close. The black origami has a fresher note that the OG doesn’t have. Its performance is pretty decent around 1 hr projection then it still stays on a close bubble. After 6-8 hrs it becomes a skin scent but lasts on skin around 10hrs. What is nice about this one is that is not as nuclear as the OG. I can wear it casually knowing it won’t stay on my skin 20hrs. The OG I use for special occasions this dupe I use it whenever I feel like wearing the scent at home or just because. This scent is so unusual and unique and it is my #1 on my list. It is a polarizing scent either you love it or you hate it. It’s a heavy rich dirty floral and it is 100% unisex. A masterpiece to my nose. Scent 9/10 Projection 8/10 Longevity 8/10 Price 10/10

Unisex, but leans feminine. Lovely scent, but doesn't last on my skin. Strong at first, but dries down to nothing; I can't even detect it on my clothes after four hours. I suppose, like an orchid, you have to appreciate it while it's in bloom. It's inexpensive, so you can always reapply as needed. Solid 7.5/10, but would be higher if it had more longevity. 9/22/25 Update: I've had this for 10 months now. Still a gorgeous scent. Still leans feminine. Performance-wise, it is greatly improved. Definitely projects more, and now lasts all day. Sprayed this on at 900am and I can still smell it at 530pm (but it's not super-strong; light and subtle). I really like this. Like Secret, I believe it can be worn by a man, but it's made for a woman. Confident dudes can pull this off, though, no problem!

This is similar to Black Orchid. Def in the same family and a beauty. There is something in here that smells like licorice to me. Or is it mushrooms in soil. IDK, maybe a combo of both. Likely that truffle. The opening gets on my nerves a lil bit. It dries down to be nearly the same scent. It is worth a try for men. As a woman, it isn't as sweet as the OG and doesn't settle on my skin as nicely. I almost gave this bottle away to my bro in law but I'm still letting it sit bc it is nice. A like, not a love for me.

I blind bought this one, I didn’t know what the OG smelled like. I wore this fragrance today and i instantly recognized it....it smells like the perfume counter at Nordstrom. They sell Tom Ford there, so it makes sense. I am very pleased with the quality of this fragrance, it smells like a wealthy older woman’s perfume...old money not new. I would not overspray this one...2-3 sprays max for me. it is potent but lovely date night, evening at the ballet or opera type of scent profile.
