more "safe" than black orchid but also more generic
i might just not be into the honey + orchid combination because it just doesn't do anything for me. velvet orchid smells like pretty much any "dark floral" out there. what's worse is that i don't get the longevity that others do: it disappears after a couple hours on me. black orchid may be polarizing, but the reason i own that one is because of its interesting scent profile (spicy truffle + vanilla) and its stellar performance.
