Note

Black Orchid

Carried by 9 fragrances in this catalogue

Black Orchid smells of white flowers, and is almost always printed in the heart.

What it is

It sits on white flowers.
Every fragrance here is measured on the same twenty-four axes.
How loud ordinary
It sits about where an average perfumery material sits.
How long it lasts middling
Still audible through the heart of a wearing.
