The review

On paper, Orchid Water is a strong bet if you want Black Orchid for less.

Oakcha sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Black Orchid's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $72 per 100ml it costs 78% less than Black Orchid — the 11th cheapest of 18 twins we can price.

Value8.7
Evidence7.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Oakcha publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on truffle, gardenia and black currant, turns to orchid, spices and lotus, and settles into patchouli, vanilla and incense. That is the brief Orchid Water is working from.

Top

  • truffle
  • gardenia
  • black currant

Heart

  • orchid
  • spices
  • lotus

Base

  • patchouli
  • vanilla
  • incense
A lush, dark oriental of orchid, truffle and chocolate; unmistakable, seductive and boldly glamorous.
