Orchid
Orchid by Zara is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2020 in the budget price tier. It opens with bergamot and pear, moves into orchid and jasmine and dries down to vanilla, musk and patchouli. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Pear Crisp, watery and green-sweet. Clean and modern.
Heart
- Orchid Creamy, sweet and slightly synthetic. A modern florals staple.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
