What do reviewers say about Nuit Noor and Velvet 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
Velvet Orchid walks the line between opulent and approachable. It is Black Orchid's softer sibling, designed for those who want the Tom Ford world without the full darkness.Velvet Orchid
