What does Halle Pure Orchid smell like?

The top holds lemon, cactus blossom and papaya, so the first impression is bright and fruity. Star anise, orchid and blackberry cream follow in the heart, moving the scent toward floral and gourmand. The base of sequoia, patchouli and tonka bean closes it on a woody, powdery sweetness.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, and it leans toward daily wear, leisure and the office. It reads as feminine. Ghost Sweetheart and Miro Darling have a close profile.
