Black Orchid Fragrance Oil

Black Orchid Fragrance Oil

Dark. Opulent. Irresistibly sensual.

An intoxicating interpretation of the orchid, Black Orchid unveils a fragrance of extraordinary depth and allure.

The first impression is luminous yet mysterious: sparkling bergamot, mandarin orange and Amalfi lemon mingle with the dark, earthy richness of truffle and black currant. Creamy gardenia, jasmine and ylang-ylang unfold beneath the brightness, creating an opening that is both lavish and intriguingly unexpected.

At the heart, exotic orchid takes centre stage, wrapped in warm spices, lush florals and succulent fruity nuances. The composition becomes increasingly velvety as lotus, jasmine and ylang-ylang weave through its rich floral core.

Finally, the fragrance settles into a sumptuous, lingering base of Mexican chocolate, vanilla, amber and incense. Deep patchouli, sandalwood and vetiver lend an earthy, smoky sophistication, while white musk leaves an irresistibly soft finish upon the skin.

A dark floral with a decadent soul — sensual orchid, bitter-sweet chocolate, warm spice and smouldering woods entwined in a trail that is both mysterious and unforgettable.

Solubility & formulating notes

• For clear alcohol sprays, do a small solubility test, then chill (4–8 °C) and filter (≈0.45 µm).

• In wax: cure candles 24–72 h (soy often benefits from longer), test different wicks for hot throw.

• In water-based products, use an appropriate solubiliser (e.g., polysorbate-20 or a commercial fragrance solubiliser).
