PowderyWhat does Seduction - No. 1 Dark Orchid smell like?
It opens with bergamot, yuzu zest and blood orange, a bright citrus lift, while plum and blackcurrant creme sweeten the fruity side. At the heart, red orchid, jasmine and red lily lead, with lily of the valley lightening the florals. The base settles into amber, oud, tonka bean and musk, leaving a warm, sweet, powdery woodiness.
Laura Biagiotti Roma and Calvin Klein Secret Obsession have a close profile.
