Our verdict: does Spicy Orchid really dupe Black Orchid?
Dossier names Black Orchid, and Spicy Orchid carries its dark, unusual orchid-chocolate-and-patchouli signature, the vampy, love-it-or-hate-it character the original built a cult on. The savoury truffle note is softened, so it is a touch less challenging, which some will prefer. A close and far more wearable take on a divisive classic.
