    Starts with chocolate notes and clear smoke, morphing into smoked vanilla. A faint lush tropical flower note begins to appear unitl what I get is a lovely smoked vanilla with that suggestion of...

    This strikes me a s a good date perfume. It is sweet, but not overly so and very flirty. IMO it is not too foody, but my boyfriend made the comment that I smelled like dessert so I'm not so sure....

    Susanne Lang changed the name of this to Midnight Orchid. Same scent; different name. I was hoping for more gardenia and less vanilla, but as per the name, vanilla is an orchid, so why am I...

    I receive compliments on this one. Fresh vanilla floral that does not overpower and is not cloyingly sweet.

    This is definitely a keeper. wonderful warm vanilla with a great undercurrent of warm musk (the orchid? not sure orchids smell like anything) and just utter prettiness. Fits the bill when I want...

    I LOVE the way SL designs her packaging, and the little personalized rollers are cute enough, but this scent gave me SUCH a WHOPPING headache, I couldn't stand it on my skin for more than 10...

    This is a really beautiful, floral vanilla. There is nothing discordant, sharp, or unappealing. I love the vanillic orchid smell.

    This winds up on me to be only the playdoh bottom note of POTL. Not a keeper, but certainly interesting.

    SL Black Orchid began as a plain sweet vanilla, and picked up a hint of tropical flowers in the drydown. Didn't last very long. Sweet, pretty scent. A subtle vanilla overall.

    Black Orchid was not very nice at all on me. Not quite bad enough to wash off, but then it really didn't stay on my skin for long enough anyway. A heavy cloud of sweet, dense vanilla that...

    This was a disappointment to me. I find it too sweet, too vanilla, and just kind of plain. Boring really. Not what I was expecting. I should know better than to buy a fragrance without testing...

    When I first put it on, there was something about it similar to the b.o. note I get from Ginestet Botrytis, and I thought “Oh no. Not again.” But thankfully I stuck around for the dry down and it...

    Susanne Lang has had such a low batting average lately that when she finally hits one out of the park, the raves follow. It seems a bit out of proportion to this scent, though. This is a sexy...

    Very, very light, very ethereal, very linear, but rather pretty when it decides to show up. At times I get a whiff of a soft, light-as-powder (but not powdery) fragrance and I can see what all the...

    I think this is a GREAT vanilla because it doesn't shout "VANILLA!" It is sugary but not overly so (like pink sugar and Hanae Mori can be too sweet). And I really don't even think vanilla when I...

    Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. This is a thin, light subtle vanilla scent that reminds me a lot of powdered sugar. Not that it is really saccharine in the slightest -- its a tad more almondy/doughy...
