Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Winter
Also Works:
Fall

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its 'eternal' longevity and 'massive' sillage noted by reviewers, this is far too strong for the office. It's a perfect fit for dates and formal events where its powerful, expensive-smelling aura can shine, but it's generally too much for casual wear.

About

Spicy Orchid kicks off with a bold, zesty blend of cinnamon and pink pepper, brightened ever so slightly by mandarin, before plunging into a decadent heart. Here, the mysterious orchid intertwines with succulent plum and creamy ylang-ylang, creating a rich, floral-fruity core. The dry down is where the magic truly unfolds, with a deep, smoky incense and earthy patchouli anchored by warm sandalwood and a deliciously dark vanilla. It's a complex, opulent journey from start to finish.
