Velvet Orchid EDP

This is a sensual and complex fragrance. Mature and elegant. Comforting and decadent. Velvet Orchid is really velvety, thanks to a very well crafted suede note. It is also a bit powdery, a bit fresh and a bit flowery. This contrast beautifully with the richness of the rum. Velvet Orchid is pure unadulterated sweet sex for the soul. It opens with a sweet boozy rum note with a few citrus hits here and there. The opening is a dark floral, with some spiced rum - though it's strong, it's nothing sharp. As the heart develops, there are spirals of spicy myrrh that wrap around the orchid/vanilla - this is the part of the fragrance where one spray too many can cause suffocation.
