What does Sensual Orchid (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Voters lean slightly towards autumn and spring, with winter and summer not far behind, and no single occasion dominates: leisure, daytime, evening and nights out are all close. Most voters read it as feminine, though it is presented as unisex.

Mandarin orange, neroli and almond open fresh and lightly sweet. At the heart, jasmine sambac, heliotrope, orchid and peony build a floral body. In the base, benzoin, vanilla, musk and white cedar soften it into a woody, gourmand warmth. LM Parfums Pure Sensual Orchid and Acqua di Parma Vaniglia have a close profile.
