Gothic II לעומת Black Orchid

Gothic II by Loree Rodkin is regarded as a solid, approachable patchouli fragrance that sits in a similar lane to Psychedelique but with a sweeter profile. While appreciated by patchouli lovers for its balance and wearability, it's often considered a good consideration rather than a must-have compared to other highly-praised options in the patchouli category.

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.
