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.

About

Black Orchid EDT opens with a brooding blend of plum and patchouli, dark and fruity. A mysterious heart of orchid, pepper, tuberose, and clove emerges, creating an intoxicating, spicy floral aura. The dry-down retains the earthy, slightly sweet depth of patchouli, leaving a lasting impression that's both elegant and edgy.
