Van Cleef & Arpels Collection Extraordinaire Orchid Leather Eau De Parfum is an oriental balsamic unisex fragrance introduced to the public in 2021 by perfumer Julien Rasquinet. The composition explores the animalistic aspects of two amazing plants, frankincense and vanilla orchid. Both of them recreate exciting sensual skin notes, and their combination produces a truly magical effect.
The composition opens with amber and balsamic frankincense notes with a subtle lemon accent of cardamom. In the heart is a deep leather accord in the unexpected company of candied plum. It envelops you with its soft spiciness and suppresses the will to resist. Absolute vanilla and mystical incense smoke in the base add sophistication to this seductive fragrance.
Thick. I agree that there is no hint of Kirke in it! To me, it bears a resemblance to Orchid by Ford... Perhaps it reminds someone else as well?!
Everything is great. They are long-lasting, have a nice trail, and are very complementary.
This fragrance is incredibly long-lasting, has a noticeable trail, and is thick and concentrated. It provides warmth during cold weather. It is similar to Plum Japonais by Tom Ford. The ripe plum, smoky prune, and leather notes are clearly distinguishable. It is a very high-quality fragrance. It has nothing in common with Kirke, which has a loud, sour, musky scent of a cat, not at all present here.
The fragrance is truly reminiscent of Mancera Red Tobacco and, in the final reveal, Kirke. It gives the impression that perfume houses shamelessly copy each other. It's as if there is nothing more to create. I wanted to try something new, but it didn't work out. For those who don't have the aforementioned fragrances, they will like it because the scent itself is good.
I really like the scent. It lasts a long time. I checked the batch code and it's authentic. Thank you for the delivery, for the good price, and for the gift. Special thanks to the courier!
