What does Wild Orchid smell like?

Most voters find both its longevity and its sillage good. Fall and spring lead the season votes, with winter and summer a little behind. Leisure and evening wear are tied, and night out is close behind. Most voters read it as feminine, though it is classed as unisex.

The notes read as one whole: orchid, ylang-ylang, tuberose and white blossoms build the floral body, while plum adds a fruity edge. Vanilla and musk keep the sweetness creamy, and sandalwood, patchouli and vetiver give it a woody base. Pink pepper leaves a light spicy note.
