Gothic I לעומת Black Orchid

Gothic I receives mixed feedback from the community, with wearers appreciating its complexity and how it evolves throughout the day, but noting its weak performance and tendency to become imperceptible quickly. While some find it compelling enough for repeated wear, its low projection makes it better suited for personal enjoyment rather than noticeable presence.

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.
