Real talk
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
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
