PowderyWhat does Black Orchid Voile de Fleur smell like?
It opens with blackcurrant, black truffle and bergamot, with ylang-ylang adding a soft floral touch. In the heart, lily, black orchid and gardenia lead while black pepper brings a spicy edge. The base turns sweet with vanilla, milk and cinnamon, over a woody footing of sandalwood and patchouli.
Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind, and it is chosen mainly for nights out and evenings. Most voters find it feminine. It has been discontinued. Tom Ford Black Orchid (Eau de Parfum) and Lolita Lempicka L (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
