La Pluie vs Black Orchid

La Pluie and other fragrances in this collection receive enthusiastic community praise for their uniqueness and spring-appropriate character. While the collection is admired for its versatility and thoughtful curation, some users note that lavender fragrances can skew masculine and reformulations may have reduced longevity. Overall, the community expresses strong interest in trying these unusual perfumes despite their premium pricing.

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.
