Collection Extraordinaire - Orchid Leather Van Cleef & Arpels 2021

It's time to take a closer look at one of my favorite fragrances and share my opinion about it. First of all, I love this fragrance but rarely wear it because I need the mood for it.
The packaging of Collection Extraordinaire - Orchid Leather is quite simple and spartan, but still beautiful, which is a bit of a minor matter because it's all about the contents. Inside the packaging is a typical VC&A bottle, in opaque black and of course with the trim on it that we all love so much ;)
Now to the good little water itself...
This smoky, liqueur-like plum, with slightly spicy leather and vanilla in the drydown is just my taste. Wicked, darkly sweet, boozy. The color of the bottle describes the fragrance pretty well and I think the scent goes well with an all black outfit and definitely with a leather jacket, even in winter.
At the moment, the fragrance accompanies me from fall into the winter months where it also fits perfectly, spring and summer I would rather give him a vacation.
In short: the fragrance is fantastic, it lasts like a bomb, the sillage is just right and I think the price is more than fair for this quality.

Thank you for the short attention
