What do reviewers say about Nuit Noor and Black Orchid?
The honey here isn't the sticky kind. It's dark, smoky, the kind that hangs at the edge of a candlelit room. Paired with a big velvet rose and curling incense.Nuit Noor
Black Orchid isn't a fragrance, it's a confrontation. The truffle opening is strange, almost jarring. Then the florals arrive, heavy and rich. The kind of scent people have strong opinions about.Black Orchid
