Which Should You Buy?
Dark, lush and long-lasting, a floral for cold evenings. Black truffle and ylang-ylang give it a strange, inky start, orchid and spice fill the middle, and dark chocolate, patchouli, incense and vanilla pull it down.
Dark, rich and long-lasting, Perfume Parlour's version of Black Orchid. Truffle and ylang-ylang open the door, orchid and lotus wood fill the heart, and patchouli with cacao gives a dense, chocolate-dark finish.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Chocolate, incense and patchouli thrive in the cold, so winter and autumn lead, with a cool spring night possible and summer unwise.
Occasions
A formal and romantic-evening fragrance with great presence, and too intense for the office or sport.
Seasons
Truffle, patchouli and cacao are heavy, dark materials, so autumn and winter suit it best. In hot weather it is too much.
Occasions
Strong and sultry, it belongs on dates and at dressy evenings. Office and sport are the wrong settings.
Similarity Breakdown
