About

Black Orchid Reserve opens with a dark, earthy truffle note, swiftly joined by a fleeting hint of zesty bergamot. The heart blooms with an intense, almost creamy orchid and sweet ylang-ylang, creating a rich yellow floral bouquet. It settles into a luxurious, warm base of dark chocolate, earthy patchouli, and creamy vanilla, underscored by a soft, warm tonka bean. This is a complex, shapeshifting scent that marries dark gourmand warmth with potent florals.
