To most, it probably appears a minor misstep, but nevertheless one I can't abide. *After repeated wears, I have become aware of a deeply unpleasant plastic note that almost wholly negates my heaping praise. Its showiness has worn itself out on me, admittedly, but there's something fascinating going on here that someone else might just choose to adopt as a mainstay. The standard plushness has been set aflame, vaporized into a thousand fine motes, suspended across a glittering satin curtain. Orchid Soleil is somewhat true to this sensation of oppressive luxury, yet remains oddly light on its feet. Inside the indolic haze, you feel as if you've been scouted out and marked by some base animal. Verges on the sensation of a physical unguent, slathered across your person. Normally the appeal of an overpowering composition is that it blankets you with its thick, impenetrable veil. Full-figured tuberose is as enticing as ever. It has a few original twists built into its development, but whilst initially a rich and intense floral creation, the second half's ingredients as a bit anaemic on my skin. To me this spring scent is a bit of a misnomer, as the tuberose is the most prominent component on me.

The base adds a mix of vanilla paste and, accompanying as a sidekick, a chestnut cream impression the latter dyad is quite intriguing, albeit fading with time. In the drydown it develops more floral notes, white floral mainly, with a sweet red spider lily as well as the orchid the latter is endowed with a slightly dirty characteristic at times. A floral storm opens this experience: A rich, heavy, moderately indolic and waxy tuberose, with touches of white pepper and a discreetly woodsy background - a but cypress is just traceable.
