Victoria Flower Orchid

I blind bought this fragrance based on the notes and the reviews, I'm not familiar with FB Ruby Orchid either. At first I wasn't completely sure I like it, even considered returning. But there's something in it that made me wanting more... There's a bit medicinal/ old lady like note (maybe the vine?) which I absolutely adore. It reminds me of something from my childhood that I find incredibly comforting and intoxicating. I couldn't stop sniffing it all day, so I decided to keep it. I feel like summer heat is not exactly it's time to shine, it isn't too much or headache inducing, but I think it will be more beautiful in colder temperature. Longevity and sillage is fantastic: two sprays can almost fill a room and it stays a good 10-12 hours on skin and days on clothes. In my opinion it is quite unique and easily recognizable too, great signature scent material. I bought it for dirt cheap and it's worth every penny. I absolutely love how it radiates around me, can't wait for chilly autumn days to wear.

I blind bought this as part of a larger order. I had sampled the original V & R and it was nice but underwhelming. This is better than the original and quite a beautiful surprise. For me the orchid is the standout note and indeed it's just like walking into a hot house where orchids are blooming, in fact, it took me back to childhood and my uncle's greenhouse where he grew different varieties of orchids. We also had outings to shows put on by the local Orchid Society, a delicious sensory experience. I just love VFO, it's a perfect sophisticated and sexy fragrance that is also an amazing buy. I'm not always a fan of Maison Alhambra's offerings (although their Delina dupe is amazing) but this one is a true sultry stunner.

Update: Both my wife and I go retard over this stuff. Probably the best cheapy you can get with this level of seductive yumminess. The ordinary Victoria Flower is similar in heart but never as bedroom oriented as this. This is just a first impression from shooting it into the box last night and huffing it this morning. I blind bought this from the few ratings and love scores. No regrets . I shot it in the box and huffed it into immediate LOVE. Thick Vanillic Fruity Seduction. Can't wait to smell it on my wife. I'm pretty sure I will wear it some weekend. This is bananas!! Crazy yummy scent.

My wife chose to wear this today and she is self seducing...she's huffing herself at times with....god I smell so good!! I concurr. This stuff is bedroom date material. Sinful sensual vanilla soft fruity orchid decadence in a scent. An instant classic. If you like stuff like hypnotique poison this goes in that intoxicating direction. I'm glad she loves it as it's a blind buy for Valentines Day.

I just received this last night and I was blown away. This is a total dead ringer for FB Ruby Orchid. I can safely say I like it better than Ruby Orchid. It has strong silage, and I can still smell it on my wrist after almost 13 hours. I can't believe I was able to find 3.5oz bottle of this for only $25. This is definitely going to be one of my go-to office/work casual fragrances.
