Our verdict on Orchid Soleil: Acquired

Divisive and discontinued, Orchid Soleil is a love-it-or-hate-it scent. Expect a battle on your skin: some get creamy, intoxicating florals, others get unwearable tortilla chips and medicinal notes. Definitely not a blind buy.

About

Orchid Soleil opens with an unexpected, sharp blend of cypress and bitter orange, quickly joined by a kick of pink pepper. The heart unfurls into a rich, heady bouquet of tuberose and lily, a thick white floral punch. This intense florality then mellows into a surprisingly gourmand base, showcasing creamy vanilla, nutty chestnut, and a whisper of patchouli, all underpinned by the signature orchid nuance.
