What do reviewers say about Vanille Patchouli and Black Orchid?
If you want a vanilla that does not shy away from the dark side, this delivers. The patchouli keeps the sweetness honest, and the praline note feels less dessert, more sophisticated indulgence.Vanille Patchouli
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
