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.

About

Opening with a juicy burst of red fruits, Orchid Bloom quickly blossoms into a captivating floral heart. The star of the show is a lush, realistic orchid note that feels fresh and airy, rather than heavy or cloying. As it settles, a clean, subtle musk emerges, softening the edges and adding a touch of sophisticated allure to the overall composition. While some detect hints of rose or lotus, the dominant impression is a beautifully rendered, pure orchid.
