Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Orchid Parfum
Black Orchid Parfum is a dark, intoxicating statement scent that commands attention with its lush truffle, plum, and chocolate facets over a spicy floral heart and opulent base. Not for the faint of heart.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Marien Patchouli EDP
Marien Patchouli is a house-blend, patchouli-led oriental rather than a dupe of any single designer scent. It leans hard into patchouli's earthy, mysterious side with warm spices and a soft yellow-floral undertone, but reads simpler and flatter than niche patchouli compositions built around it.
