Orchidea

Louis Cardin Orchidea is an Eau de Parfum. Orchidea settles into a heart of Cinnamon, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Spicy. Louis Cardin's Orchidea carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This is a seriously impressive dupe for Black Orchid, with several reviewers claiming it's superior. Massive sillage and longevity for a fraction of the price - a must-try for any fan of Tom Ford's dark floral masterpiece.

About

Orchidea opens with a warm, inviting spice, dominated by cinnamon, before settling into a rich heart where a velvety orchid emerges. A deep, earthy patchouli provides a sophisticated base, softened by creamy sandalwood. This is a complex, almost Gothic scent, heavy on the woods and warm spices, with a hint of floral sweetness.
