Wish vs Black Orchid

Chopard Wish is beloved by its community as a distinctive, compliment-generating signature fragrance with a unique fruity-floral profile featuring prominent jasmine and vanilla notes. However, the fragrance suffers from significant availability issues, particularly in the UK, with many bottles found online appearing spoiled or degraded, leading users to seek alternatives. Despite these challenges, those who own fresh bottles consider it a classic 90s powerhouse worth the effort to locate.

The r/fragrance community has polarized opinions on Black Orchid, with many praising its unique dark, artistic character and exceptional longevity, while others find the heavy patchouli and earthy base off-putting. Most wearers report getting compliments when wearing it in the right context, though it requires careful application due to its extreme strength and works best as an occasional evening fragrance rather than daily wear.
