Sonia Rykiel לעומת Black Orchid

The community consensus on Sonia Rykiel by Sonia Rykiel is overwhelmingly negative, with the fragrance being discontinue and largely absent from discussions. The few mentions indicate it was not memorable or compelling enough for users to commit to full bottles, and its discontinuation combined with high resale prices make it impractical for prospective buyers.

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.
