What does Orchid Soleil (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with pink pepper, cypress and bitter orange, a spicy and slightly bitter start. The heart of red spiderlily and tuberose gives it a floral body. In the base, orchid, patchouli, chestnut cream and vanilla settle it into a creamy, oriental warmth.

Voters find its longevity strong and its sillage good. Seasonal votes are spread fairly evenly, with fall slightly ahead, and it is picked most for nights out and evenings. Most voters read it as feminine. Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium (Eau de Parfum) and Mugler Alien Fusion have a close profile.
