All Good Things vs Black Orchid

All Good Things by Lush has a challenging opening that mellows with wear, making it a fragrance that rewards patience and repeated testing. Community reception is limited but suggests it may appeal to those willing to let a scent develop over time rather than make an immediate judgment.

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.
