These describe how the fragrance is generally reported to behave. Skin chemistry, weather and how much you apply all change it, so your own experience may differ.

Modelled profile

Orchid over dark chocolate and blackcurrant, with truffle, patchouli and incense adding shadow. Warm and dusky, it balances edible richness with something earthy, sitting close on the skin.

How Black Orchid EDT smells, measured

Modelled profile. This profile is derived from the evidence currently available and may be refined over time.

Warmthwarm, close0.78

Black Orchid EDT reads warm and close to the skin, in amber and resin territory. That is 89th percentile for warmth across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Projectionmid-range0.46

Black Orchid EDT sits mid-range on projection. That is 39th percentile for projection across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Riskmid-range0.50

Black Orchid EDT sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available. That is 89th percentile for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Texturedense0.78

Black Orchid EDT feels thick in the air, saturated and physically there. That is 94th percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessgourmand0.68

Black Orchid EDT is openly sweet, in gourmand territory. That is 86th percentile for sweetness across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin. Where wear reports are thin, those scores rest near the middle by design, so a mid-range reading here is a statement about the evidence as much as about the scent. Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
