The Verdict
Black Orchid is our pick for a dark floral: black truffle, ylang-ylang, black orchid, black plum, rum and patchouli. Supremacy Noir shares the darkness but not the flowers or fruit. Its notes are bergamot, oregano and pepper, then amber, labdanum and opoponax, over leather, sandalwood, patchouli and oud. Oregano is an unusual herbal opener. Choose it for resin and leather.
