Lui לעומת Black Orchid

Lui by Guerlain is a soft, powdery leather fragrance with an interesting vanilla and clove composition that works well in cooler weather. However, the community consensus is that it lacks personality and distinct character compared to other leather fragrances, and is generally seen as a decent but unremarkable choice in Guerlain's leather lineup.

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.
