What does Orchid smell like?

The top pairs Williams pear and neroli, giving a fruity brightness and a luminous floral edge. In the heart, vanilla, Egyptian jasmine absolute and orange blossom absolute turn the scent creamy and gourmand. The base of orris butter, musk and ambroxan sets a soft, powdery ground, while spicy and faintly smoky touches stay in the background.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are tentative. Its floral, sweet profile suits both men and women. Acqua di Parma Vaniglia (Eau de Parfum) and Nicolaï Kiss Me Intense have a close profile.
