Le Chameau Arabia Orchid is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021. Arabia Orchid opens with Truffle and Plum, settles into a heart of Ylang-Ylang, Orchid, and Rum, and dries down to a base of Patchouli. Le Chameau's Arabia Orchid carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

A divisive Tom Ford Black Orchid dupe that's lauded for its beastly performance and uncanny resemblance by some, whilst others find its patchouli note unbearable. This is definitely a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent.

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:
Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its long-lasting performance and moderate-to-strong sillage, this isn't one for the office or casual daytime wear. It's best suited for night-time dates and more formal winter events where its bold character can shine.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Arabia Orchid opens with a rich, earthy truffle note deepened by the luscious sweetness of plum. The heart unfolds into an intoxicating bouquet of exotic ylang-ylang and the signature narcotic orchid, all warmed by a boozy hint of rum. It dries down to a deep, grounding patchouli, creating a dark and opulent finish.
