Orchid Leather from Van Cleef & Arpels, created by Julien Rasquinet in 2021, is a rich, sweet vanilla amber. Gourmand sweetness leads, with spice, resin and amber in equal support.

Its notes are listed as one blend. Vanilla absolute and vanilla give a deep, creamy sweetness at the core, while plum adds a dark, jammy fruitiness. Cardamom brings a cool, aromatic spice that lifts the sweetness, and labdanum and incense add a resinous, slightly smoky, leathery depth that matches the name more than any single leather note would.

Most wearers report that it is long lasting, some even eternal, and the trail is strong to moderate. It is voted for winter and autumn and strongly favoured for night. Worn by anyone, it suits evenings out, dinners and cold-weather occasions, for someone who enjoys dense, sweet vanilla with a smoky, resinous edge, applied with a light hand.
