What do reviewers say about Black Orchid and 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
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
