WoodyWhat does Blue Orchid smell like?
Mandarin orange, sea salt and cranberry open it cool and fruity. In the heart, jasmine sambac, lotus and blossoms lead. Musk, patchouli and sandalwood form a woody base, softened by driftwood and iris.
Voters place it mostly in leisure and business settings, with daily wear close behind; sport and night-out use matter less. It has been discontinued. Its profile is close to s.Oliver s.Oliver Women (Eau de Toilette) and Calvin Klein Eternity Summer 2014.
