Orchidea

Orchidea by Louis Cardin is a spicy woody scent for men with a floral centre. Spicy is the word everyone uses; about two thirds also call it woody, and a third find it floral.

Cinnamon and a blend of spices open it with dry, warm heat, the kind that feels more like a spice rack than a dessert. Orchid sits in the heart, a soft, slightly powdery floral note that smooths the spice without turning the scent sweet or feminine. The base is classic: patchouli for an earthy, dark depth and sandalwood for a creamy, smooth wood that carries the spices through the dry-down.

The structure is simple and warm, which makes it easy to read and easy to wear in cooler months and in the evening. It suits someone who likes spicy woody fragrances with a traditional oriental feel and does not mind a floral touch in the middle, rather than someone looking for freshness or citrus.
