Truth is... BAIE 19 should have been called Water 19. Not that it smells like nothing (though nothing smells like it), but it has this crisp, wet, drenched effect that water gives to the earth after the rain… And there’s a word for that, by the way: petrichor. It’s that magical feeling during heavy rain after a long dry spell, and it’s one of the most beautiful olfactive phenomena in nature. There are many reasons for this, including the ozone in the air, the negative ions, but most importantly the release of oil secretions from certain plants, accumulated after a long dry period.

Black Orchid Eau de Parfum opens with aphrodisiac black truffle and sparkling ylang ylang—touched with effervescent bergamot and bitter orange. Rum-soaked black plum surrounds the black orchid accord in golden sensuality, while woody patchouli and creamy vanilla wrap the orchid in rich warmth. Born of the quest for the perfect flower, iconic Black Orchid fragrance is a deeply seductive potion of black orchids, spice and dark accords.
