    Real talk

    18 Orchid makes its presence known in close quarters. The fragrance doesn't project aggressively across a room. Instead, it creates a subtle aura that reveals itself when someone leans in.18 Orchid
    This is the scent you wear when you want to smell approachable yet put-tog ether. It's sweet without being immature, floral without being stuffy, and the patchouli in the drydown gives it just enough.La Vie Est Belle
