PowderyWhat does Dreamy Orchid smell like?
It opens with tarragon, mimosa and pink pepper: a fresh, lightly spicy, slightly green start. The heart of orchid, cyclamen, ylang-ylang and rose is floral, with fruity and sweet touches that soften it and add some fullness. In the base, white musk and opoponax leave a powdery, mildly oriental warmth. Voters rate it at around seven and a half out of ten.
