    The name made me think it was going to be one of those lighter summery releases despite autumn starting soon here in my half of the world, but the notes totally suggest otherwise.

    While I haven’t tried many of the Orchid flankers, I love the notes list on this one and reach for Black Orchid quite often this time of year. I’ll definitely have to track down a sample of this and the original Velvet Orchid to see how they compare.

      Sadly, I tried VO and don’t even remember it — will have to go try them both.

    I have a bottle of the original and I really like it. A few sprays is all you need. This one sounds fantastic. Wouldn’t mind trying it.
