Nuit d`Orchidee by Yves Rocher

Action

Well, Yves Rocher vintages are quite pricey on Ebay. So if you won a big bottle and you do want to earn money, you can always put it on ebay.

I am sad :-( I got my mini of this today, and I don't like it!! It reminds me of LouLou which I discovered I detest after all these years. They just don't go well with my chemistry. Oh well! I have a mini up for swap if anyone is interested.

Hi Dark Curls,
You are sooo right! The Yves Rocher vintages are highly complex compositions, and therefor have a lot more notes than registrered here. But maybe Yves Rocher limits the information here for outsiders to publish. Make no mistake, YR vintages are masterpieces!
Good luck!

Why does it say on here that the only notes is Orchid? Surely there is more to it? Regardless, I am thoroughly intrigued and will hunt for a sample or mini to try. :-)

This used to be my signature scent, my most favorite scent of all times!!!!Unfortunately its discontinued, I just hate it when some companies stop to make bestsellers!!!!I wish they could bring this back in its original bottle!!!!Orchid with smooth vanilla and tonka bean mixture, simply delicious!!!

Oh I love this stuff. It's just . . . perfect for winter. Not too sweet, not too spicy, not too sour, not too creamy, not too sticky, not too dry . . . I feel like Goldilocks with my perfect pot of porridge with this. Never letting go! It's everything I imagined perfume should be.

First, the bottle is just as gorgeous in real life. Dark glossy glass, subtle sparkle in the stopper, mysterious-looking splash bottle. It has a lovely, smooth weight to it in my hand. To me, holding the bottle, popping the stopper - all of it is part of the experience.

The scent itself first goes on sharp and alcoholic like a whiplash. Like leukothea said below, this opening is fleeting. By the time the juice evaporates off your skin, the strong alcohol is gone. What's left is orchid. Smelling it is like touching the soft plush petals. It's sensuous and gentle, but a little mysterious. This orchid isn't completely open; it's a little bit closed, as if keeping a magic secret to itself, and this has me pushing my nose closer and closer to my wrist. For this fragrance, I imagine a tall long-haired woman with a dark dress. Sensuous and mysterious.

Definitely a true orchid scent.
Long-lasting, medium sillage.

If you're looking for a winter night scent that doesn't make you want to sneeze with spices, brush your teeth from syrupy sugar, or take migraine medication, give this a try.

I adore this fragrance, which is described as "Fruity Green Floral Vanillic Spicy." It is the "night-time" version of Orchidee and has a lovely, bright spiciness added to the soft sweetness of regular Orchidee that I find most alluring. On me, this scents lasts quite some time, so I guess the lasting power must have something to do with body chemistry. It is discontinued, but VERY rarely one can find it on eBay.

Thank you Sandrina for putting it in the base :*
I stil think im a noob at distinguishing ingredients but i will comment this rare lovelyness :))
The perfume is clearly floral, seems strong at first, but thats only an impression! Dont let it fool you because it settles down fast. Is a soft orchid, pleasant, sensual and really extraordinary. Orchid lovers will like it very much! Its not typical and i dont recall ever sensing this kind of composition. If purple-blue colour would have a scent, this would be it.. I have to mention that it reminds me a lot of those old little soaps in their fancy packaging.. lovely. Only thing i dont like about it is that it isnt very long lasting, it lasts up to an hour and then gradually fades away, tho the concentration say Eau de Toilette Concentrée. Since its winter here now, i noticed that winter suits it well, i still dont know if it would act the some on some different temp. If you ever have the chance to buy it, take it and dont let it go! Rare fragrance! even if you dont like it, the bottle is adorable :)
