Phloem vs Black Orchid

Phloem from Jorum Studio receives mixed reception primarily due to its patchouli content, which some community members find unpleasant and headache-triggering. While Jorum Studio itself is praised as innovative and underrated, this particular fragrance's appeal is limited to those who enjoy or tolerate patchouli notes.

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.
