Black Orchid in a 40% concentration is an oriental–floral composition with a dense, dark structure and a pronounced gourmand base.
The fragrance is built on the contrast between a spicy–fruity opening and a deep resinous woody foundation.
In the extrait version, the formula gains density and a slower development.
A multi-stage cycle stabilizes the dark accords, softens the spices, and strengthens the chocolate–vanilla base.
The opening is rich and provocative: black truffle creates an earthy depth, ylang-ylang adds velvety sweetness, while bergamot and citrus provide a sparkling contrast.
The heart builds a dense floral structure: black orchid forms the dark velvety core, spices and fruity nuances enhance volume, while jasmine and gardenia add richness.
The base anchors the composition: Mexican chocolate creates a gourmand texture, patchouli adds dry depth, vanilla brings creamy sweetness, incense and amber reinforce resinous warmth, sandalwood and vetiver build a stable framework, and white musk adds softness.
At a 40% concentration the fragrance unfolds slowly and lasts for a long time.
It is a dark, velvety oriental–gourmand presence with a dense and rich trail.
