Black Opium for advanced users
Is Orchidée de Minuit a groundbreaking new fragrance? No.
Will many people like it? Unlikely.
For me, it's the bolder Black Opium, it dares more. The patchouli plays a dominant role here and gives it more grounding or depth. I don't find it musty; in combination with the clove and styrax, it evokes more of a licorice association, in the best sense.
The jasmine note is no less intense and does not steal the show, but is "darkened" by the rum and patchouli.
This makes it mystical, sexy, bold and seductive for me. An absolute fragrance for nights and evenings when women are fully aware of their feminine allure and want to play with it (while Black Opium is "let's see what happens", Orchidée de Minuit is "it will happen and I have chosen you to become a part of it").
As it progresses, it becomes "softer", "closer to the body", which for me completes the attraction of the fragrance.
My favorite from the new blue range. Lasts longer than average for me.
