Summer night scent
I really like this. I got a tiny decant of Tom Ford's Black Orchid several years ago and loved it but it didn't really match me very well because it was so fancy and I'm not, so I didn't buy more. This scent reminds me so much of Black Orchid that I wondered if it was designed to be similar. I kind of think it is--lots of the ingredients and notes are exactly the same. Except this scent is less overwhelming and less formal, to my nose, so I feel more comfortable wearing it. It's very warm and sexy without being stinky. If I use one spray it doesn't feel like I'm enveloped in it. They're calling it a gourmand fragrance but what I smell is flowers and wood; the foodie notes (vanilla, etc.) are secondary at most. It's a perfect humid summer night scent if you like deep, warm floral fragrances.
