Amouroud Dark Orchid is a sweet, spicy floral oriental built around black orchid, Grasse jasmine and vanilla, best suited to autumn and winter evenings.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring further behind and summer chosen by few. It is favoured mostly for nights out and evenings. Most voters read it as feminine, though it is classed as unisex.
It opens with Sicilian bergamot, mandarin orange and black gardenia, a light citrus and floral brightness. The heart leans on jasmine, black orchid and ylang-ylang, with lotus wood softening the floral body. In the base, patchouli, frankincense, vanilla and Mysore sandalwood bring a creamy, resinous, slightly smoky warmth, with a fruity, sweet tone running throughout.
