Timeline

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

Nuit d'Orchidee unfurls as a rich, dark floral bouquet, dominated by a mysterious orchid note that's far from demure. It's embraced by a creamy, almost lactonic sweetness, softened by a gentle powdery haze. A subtle undercurrent of soft spice adds intrigue and depth, making for a smooth, complex, and deeply alluring composition. Expect plums, spices, woods, and an opulent vanilla that rounds out the experience.
