Which Should You Buy?
Don't let the name fool you, this Ruth Mastenbroek creation is anything but standard. It's a complex, bold chypre floral with a fruity twist that'll keep you guessing. A real artistic statement.
Surprisingly deep and alluring for VS, Very Sexy Orchid is a dark, fruity floral that's either a seductive triumph or a patchouli-heavy disappointment depending on your skin chemistry. It's a statement scent, not for the faint of heart.
