About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Black Orchid opens with a dense floral heart: orchid, gardenia, jasmine, ylang-ylang, and lotus, lifted by fruity notes and spices. The base is a dark, earthy blend of Mexican chocolate, patchouli, vanilla, incense, amber, sandalwood, vetiver, and white musk. This 2006 Oriental Floral is known for its warm spicy, earthy, and woody accords, making it a bold, unisex-leaning composition. Collectors appreciate its rich, almost gourmand depth without being overly sweet. It suits those who enjoy complex, statement fragrances for evening wear or cool weather. The absence of listed top notes means the heart and base dominate from the start, creating a seamless, intense experience. Ideal for someone who wants a scent that feels luxurious and slightly mysterious, with a strong patchouli and chocolate signature.

中文簡介

Black Orchid 以蘭花、梔子花、茉莉、依蘭依蘭和蓮花為核心,點綴水果與香料,營造出濃郁的花香中調。基調則由墨西哥巧克力、廣藿香、香草、焚香、琥珀、檀香、岩蘭草和白麝香組成,散發溫暖辛辣、泥土與木質氣息。這款 2006 年推出的東方花香調香水,氣質大膽而神秘,適合追求個性與深度的人。由於沒有前調,香氣從一開始就展現中後調的豐厚層次,適合晚間或涼爽天氣使用。它不甜膩,卻帶有巧克力的微苦與廣藿香的沉穩,是收藏中不可或缺的經典。

Before you buy

A batch code cannot prove authenticity on its own, but it can expose contradictions — a code that decodes to a date before the fragrance existed, or a bottle and box that disagree.
