Which Should You Buy?
This J Lo effort is a properly divisive one. Some find it a clean, nostalgic fruity-floral, while others declare it cheap, synthetic, or even off-putting. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it affair.
Orchid Essence takes the floral-oriental idea of Tom Ford Velvet Orchid but skips the boozy rum-and-honey opening entirely, landing a brighter, simpler florals-and-vanilla scent with a fraction of the original's sillage and staying power.
