What does Orchid K smell like?

The top holds oleander, petitgrain, common marshmallow and saffron. In the heart, magnolia, black vanilla orchid, wild rose and jasmine set the floral character. The base of sequoia, frankincense, vanilla and ambrofix softens it over time, bringing out a creamy, sweeter side.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter and summer further behind. It is chosen mostly for nights out and evenings, and although it is sold as unisex, more voters read it as feminine. Banana Republic Gardenia & Cardamom and Marc Jacobs Divine Decadence have a close profile.
