What does Orchid Bloom smell like?

Rose and orchid shape the floral side, while red fruits add a sweet, fruity brightness. Patchouli and musk stay in the background and settle the scent on a lightly spicy, powdery base. A slightly synthetic shimmer runs through the overall impression.

Longevity and sillage are rated as moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and the office lead the occasions, with evening wear also named. Half of the voters read it as feminine. It has been discontinued.
