    Wow. This is heady, dark, and clearly floral. My first impression was night queen/cereus and tuberose with the dark floral aspects of cereus and the creamy headiness of tuberose. Very bold and elegant but also smells quite natural.

    Sadly it is like cat urine on my wrist. Instantly reminds me of why I avoid the passionfruit accord in perfumes.

    One big floral. Heavy on the Ylang ylang and jasmin, noticeable but lightly present passionfruit, very light woods. I can see references to root beer, in Australia I have honestly not ever drunk it, but have had sarsparilla occasionally and there is definitely a similarity to that; superficially at least. What this reminds me most of though, is time I’ve spent in the hot, sweaty, orchid houses once owned by my stepmother. Sweetly, densely, pungent, it reminds me so much of the perfume rich clusters of dense, sticky stamens, the hot, humid, subtropical conditions and wandering through moist, leafy green foliage taking in all of the rich, honeyed stickiness and dreamy, almost hypnotic scent of the multitudes of orchids in heavy bloom, allowing them to pervade all of the senses. An amazing experience.

    This is one intense fragrance. Almost medicinal. I definitely get the passionfruit, cyclamen and ylang up front. Some kick from the clove with jasmine. It settles and then I get the sweetness with the sandalwood and vanilla. Ive got to say its a good few years since I smelt root beer but I can just about remember it. I see what people mean about it being present. I like this better than the smell of root beer.
    Its a fragrance that hits you in the face on the opening but once the alcohol vanishes it just keeps getting better. It becomes more fruity but still a sexy floral of the night.
    Do be patient when testing this and you will be rewarded. Moderate sillage and longevity.

    Lovely, fresh fragrance, very delicate. I mostly smell jasmine and passion fruit. Light and clean, perfect for summer.

    Olympic Orchids fragrances are really hit or miss with me. This one isn’t my favorite. All I smell is root beer. I love most of the notes listed in this fragrance, but I’m not detecting them at all in African Orchids.

    African Orchid is such an unusual fragrance. I received a sample of it with some other fragrances I purchased from Olympic Orchids. I like many of the other “orchid” scents in the collection, which are almost photo-real renderings of orchid flower scents, rather than abstract perfume orchid bouquets. I’ve never smelled an African Orchid blossom, but I suspect this perfume is one of those photo-real scents, too, and if you like the others, this will probably appeal to you.
    The best way I can describe it is a warm, waxy white floral next to a bottle of root beer. It’s got that realistic flower quality, in which the leaves, the petals, the blossoms, the pollen are all present. The spicy notes lend a warm, fizzy root beer aroma to the scent, and there’s a woody hint as the fragrance dries down.
    As with all the Olympic Orchid scents I’ve tried, the top notes are very strong. This could be overpowering if the fragrance is applied with a heavy hand or when you’re in close quarters, but the dry-down is lovely, with comfortable sillage and good longevity. Overall, it’s unique and so nicely done!
