Real talk
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
Not your typical floral. The basil and green notes give it a surprisingly herbaceous edge that keeps the ylang-ylang and jasmine from getting too sweet.Orchid Mantis
