La Nuit de L'Orchidée

Its longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Most voters pick fall, with winter and spring close behind and summer far less favoured. Night out, business and evening wear are chosen in equal measure. Most voters find it feminine, though it stays a unisex scent.

The notes are spices, leather, amyris and vanilla orchid. Floral and sweet accords lead, and the vanilla orchid adds a creamy, powdery softness. Spices and leather balance that sweetness with a smoky, leathery edge, while amyris lays a woody base.
