What does Parfait d'Orchidée smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so those ratings are tentative. Voters choose it most for daytime, leisure and office wear, with evening and night out trailing behind. It is classed as a women's perfume.

Floral, green and spicy accords lead, with powdery, resinous and smoky shades alongside. Ginger, frankincense and jasmine give a spicy, resinous floral start, then Siam benzoin and iris soften it and add powder in the heart. Ambergris, vanilla and white musk form a sweet, warm base.
