Wild Orchid opens with plum, pink pepper and a sweet floral lift, then settles into a woody, patchouli-tinted orchid accord with a creamy, slightly powdery feel. It wears richer than airy, and several reviewers found it long-lasting, though others felt it turned flatter and softer on skin. This suits shoppers who like dark florals with fruit, spice and earthier woods. Sample first. Show less

Black Datura by Miller Harris presents a dark, resinous take on white flowers, moving far away from the typical sunny garden aesthetic. The opening hits the skin with a sharp crack of pink pepper and a thick, almost medicinal dose of tuberose. Within twenty minutes, the initial floral brightness subsides as heavy resins and smoky myrrh take over, creating a dense, woody texture. It is a moody option that suits chilly autumn evenings and dark clothing. Because of its polarizing, balsamic depth, it is not a safe blind buy. We recommend ordering a sample first to see how the dry resins react with your skin chemistry, rather than committing to a full bottle immediately. Show less

LA IMPERIAL opens with a bright, lightly spicy floral mix of bergamot, pink pepper and pear blossom, then settles into a creamy white-floral heart with tuberose, jasmine and ylang-ylang. The dry-down brings musk, patchouli and amber woods, giving it a soft sweet-woody finish. It may suit someone who wants an approachable floral with a fuller, slightly oriental feel rather than a sheer. Show less
