Scent Black Orchid

Q: What does Black Orchid actually smell like?

Black Orchid centres on black orchid, with sandalwood and ylang-ylang adding body. Patchouli and vetiver make the base drier and earthier, while jasmine preserves the floral character.

Q: How strong is Black Orchid?

Black Orchid is classed as medium in intensity. Its floral-woody character is clear without placing it among the strongest options, and each format presents it differently according to the space and use.

Black Orchid is a dark orchid with the character of personal perfume, not a light bouquet. Sandalwood and ylang-ylang give it body, patchouli and vetiver make the base drier and earthier, while jasmine keeps the flowers distinct.

With medium intensity, it brings the impression of an expensive perfume to a car or an evening living room. Choose it when you prefer florals deep and woody rather than fresh and airy.
