A fragrance that cannot be worn half-heartedly or sniffed half-heartedly. It blends the earthy, mysterious notes of black truffle with the sweetness of orchid and vanilla. This encounter gives rise to a contrast that is both startling and luxurious. The scent is dark and velvety, more reminiscent of a candlelit, enclosed room than an open garden. It is considered one of the most famous modern fragrances, and for good reason. Anyone who smells it once will recognize it from a distance and never mistake it for anything else.
A quintessentially feminine fragrance. It belongs to the luxurious oriental-floral fragrance family, with a bold signature unlike any other. Its character is strong, feminine, and mysterious, leaning toward unabashed luxury and direct seduction. Perfect for evening events, weddings, special occasions, and long nights. Fall and winter are its seasons, as the cool air enhances its richness rather than stifling it. It has extremely high longevity and a strong sillage that fills the room, so no more than a single spritz is needed.
Top Notes
The composition opens with black truffle and its mysterious, earthy, and unusual aroma. A scent reminiscent of damp earth and noble mushrooms, it is the first distinctive note of this fragrance. It is accompanied by bergamot, bitter orange, and ylang-ylang to balance the opening and lend it a much-needed radiance. A start that is as striking as it is luxurious, unlike any other opening.
The Heart of the Fragrance
The heart beats with the luxurious and distinctive black orchid accord that gives the fragrance its name. A rich, dark flower unlike the luminous blooms typically found in women’s perfumes. Rum-soaked black plums add a sensual, alcoholic sweetness that gives the heart its luscious character. Here, the fragrance reaches the peak of its allure, becoming richer and closer to the skin.
Base Note
The base note rests on deep, woody patchouli with its dark, earthy tones. Creamy vanilla rounds out the composition with a rich warmth that lingers on clothing for days. The combination of the two creates a rich sillage—in the best sense of the word—that clings to fabric and doesn’t fade quickly. It is this sillage that sets this fragrance apart from others and makes it unforgettable.
Who is this fragrance for?
For those who love strong, luxurious fragrances and aren’t looking for a light, everyday scent. Spray it in the evening on your pulse points and on your coat for a longer-lasting scent on cold nights. One spritz is usually enough; using too much can overwhelm indoor spaces. It makes for an unforgettable gift for a woman with bold, confident taste.
