I get cream soda right at the top which is quite lovely, but then this dies down into a creamy floral which reminds me of Montana 80. Nothing massively ‘oriental’ to my nose. It seems to wear pretty close to the skin and lasts a few hours. Im getting a few creamy wafts which is quite nice. Its ok but a bit generic which is a bit of a shame. Nothing groundbreaking. I think I’ll probably layer it up.
Actually maybe im being mean… the cream soda bit really is lovely.

This is by far my favourite perfume of all time. I’m a huge fan of sweet, floral, gourmand (and all that) perfumes and this is just perfect in every sense. It’s sweet and teasing but in a very sophisticated way and that’s why I like it.
I do believe that as with every other fragrance the actual scent depends on your body chemistry. On me it almost becomes sweeter than it already is and definitely more powdery than when you first dip your nose in it (I absolutely love how this smells on my body and that’s one of the biggest reasons why I’m so in love with Sensual Orchid). On my mom it literally smells aggressive (?).. but in a really weird way, the sweetness almost becomes this deep tabacco infused scent. It isn’t bad, but it smells way different on me and I would say there are plenty of perfumes that smell better on her.
Aaaand it’s really rare to hear my boyfriend say a particular perfume is 10/10, actually it’s not often you hear from him that a perfume is simply “good”. I still haven’t found another fragrance that he would love more!

Now here’s a scent right up my alley; a lasting, loud, full-mouthed floriental with a gourmand touch.
It opens with candied ylang, orchids and vanilla.
Soon the sweetness steps back to make room for the other playes: Musc, woods, heliotrope, jasmin and almond. Ooomph! Full-bodied! A mouthful! Thankfully Sensual Orchid is fairly linear throughout most of its considerable longevity (also more than adequate sillage).
There’s a lovely underlying creaminess throughout the entire thing that reminds me of coconut and custard.
How can a perfume be both clean and edible at the same time?
Because I also agree with other reviewers who think Sensual Orchid smells like shampoo. In fact, most coworkers commented on my wonderful shampoo. Well, that’s just perfect for me, so I bought it.

Wow! This is truly SENSUAL, it’s not just a name .it’s really bold and delicious and unapologetic. This is love at first sniff!
The opening is a hugely creamy smell to my nose, so much so that it makes me hungry for cream filled pastry! It’s edible creamy almond and orchid mixed with some orange zest and vanilla and benzoin.Sometimes the creaminess shifts towards a white chocolate vibe but it tilts back quickly. For a floral fragrance, this is strangely gourmand! The dry down is full of jasmine and Ylang and woods, and it’s not my favorite part because it’s not very unique.
The sillage is moderate, and after 3 hours it gets very close to the skin. The longevity kind of sucks and it’s the greatest problem with this fragrance. It’s somewhat a warm smell, but I find it appropriate for almost any weather and the in particular fall and spring. It’s very good for a signature scent as long as you can afford it. I think the price tag is an important fault with “Sensual Orchid” especially since it’s longevity is weak. Could it smell more niche? yes of course; but then it wouldn’t be as pleasing as it is to most noses and it also wouldn’t be so versatile.

I find this t be a bit of a mixed up soup!
It was pleasant when sniffed in the bottle, but then the first half hour was a bit grim for me – all vanilla and what seemed like coconut (though I don’t see that here in notes). I wished I’d tested some of the oud perfumes as I prefer somthing more woody anyway.
Into dry-down it became a mix of synthetic/sharp/sweet. I expected something a bit synthetic which I don’t mind, it just depends on the effect. In this case I find it similar to, say, a Mugler perfume – it just doesn’t smell either elegant or unusually niche to me.
The general effect is a slightly oily/floral/tart/sweet summer holiday perfume which underwhelms me, it doesn’t intrigue me anyway

It’s a very dangerous and potent stuff. It’s on the same pathway as is Christian Dior Poison – original one from the 90’s!
Beautiful , but not my ” cuppa”! :((

I always hunt when I’m playing or working abroad..
In spite of the internet making everything available, obscure stores selling scents I might’ve never known or couldn’t find, exist hidden -except by foot.
The setting: a seeming work trip. An Intl Film Festival, the king of pop had just died, the Hof. Flashy & bright -of every kind…But, only from the outside, cause, inside…
…was, well, it had been very foggy, in every sense of the been. Slinky -the after party would’ve. Aristocratic -the chaperone could’ve. Early, the night should’ve. Sensual, Munich might’ve. Sober -the girl had been, but, clear it was not, cause…
…unable to comprehend, she tried holding her eyes and squinting her nose, but, only out of politeness, did she allow the scentress to show her what was inside the black porcelain bottle with the silly words Sensual Orchid written on it. It wasn’t the dim and uncategorical smell, it was like an actual spell…
…and sensual is just what did happen. I didn’t know I wanted to, but, I did it anyway, ummm. The girl thinks that you should, too.

Sensual Shampoo.
Remember me a Victoria’s Secret, and more specifically reminds me of Night.
I sensea really green apple that becomes quince, sour plum, vanilla. Stop.
It is not as deep or musky as the title suggests.
But almost a fresh schent warmed by vanilline.
Skin scent.
shuttle – :
sweet creamy coconuty vanilla, a soft and sensual smell, but almost all i can get is vanilla and coconut, almonds? really? maybe almond milk. i would not call em oriental, to me it’s more on a gourmand side. nice, unofensive, wearable and quite common scent
sergodo1 – :
went on sour then immediately a bit of citrus then an amber/vanilla that reminds me of something else I can’t place my nose on; tiny hint of dry orchid and almond, no other flowers, this is a common fragrance that is not amazing

So interesting guy.
I asked some help from my BF to describe thes perfume.
I have it since 2013 and It’s way not my perfect scent but it is my favorite and it will always be oneof my favorite because…
My bf says it smells like sex. It’s definiteley aphrodisiac because it feels like nothing out there, very subtle, only purity,sweetness and affection in the air a source of what is undetectable because it doesn’t grow to something stronger nex to skin. There’s only wooden notes and citrus which sounds manfully, very alien and suddenly.
Before thinking about this perfume it seems so simple, but soft, tender and feminine, I was buying it as a message: I am no longer girl, Im a woman.
I got sample of the perfume from my friend , her skin chemistry made it smell like a mix of vanilla and something bitter, not subtle at all, it’s different on my skin (she was surprised that it’s same perfume) and different from paper, so try every perfume on YOUR OWN skin even if the smell is obvious. Even more because the perfume is not cheap.
I love this smell also because its always “On the verge of” Beinng floral while it’s tend to be giurmet, being very feminine while its masculine next to skin, being subtle while having pretty strong sillage and being clean while it is so sweet.

It’s like punch ice cream. Delicious, love it!
Sergeyk2005 – :
Wow, yum! Versace Crystal Noir and Viva La Juicy had a baby! I always thought they made a good couple. I’m not ashamed to admit I love a candy sweet, fruity scent with caramel and coconut. This is heavy sweet, fruity, a little tropical and richly musky. It doesn’t exactly smell unique and niche so I can see why people could be disappointed by it. I have a fragrance from Victoria’s Secret I adore, Very Sexy Now 2014, that smells like they could be sisters but this lasts much longer and is a little fresher. Basically, I love it for all the reasons it’s hateable by other reviewers!
Edited to add, I put this on my wrist and asked my husband for his opinion. I told him nothing about the fragrance. He smelled it and became sexual aroused and said it smelled “Slippery.” I have no idea what that even means, but he purchased a full bottle for me immediately and says its the sexist perfume he has ever smelled on me.

The impact that the scents have on a person varies according to different parameters , mood, hormones , climate, knowledge and familiarity with the notes . as soon as I smelled it, does not appear sensual.Then warming acquires a charge that makes it interesting and attracts like flypaper , sniff one behind another. However, the name screams something cloned , very popular..it stinks so much (to use a metaphor , remaining on olfactory sensations ) of marketing strategy . After an hour he does not fall in love at first sight , like straw fire . all over.now I’m a little disappointed , I just smell a good sunscreen , but always and only sunscreen . I do not accept this from a smell of this stature. I’ll try again another day and hopefully it will be different my opinion..

Meravigliosa fragranza in cui la dolcezza di mandorla e vaniglia si sposa magnificamente con le note floreali.
Un connubio perfetto per un profumo intensamente femminile.
Superlativo
NugUndund – :
Mandorle e fiori (gelsomino, eliotropio e ylang-ylang) si espandono vitali e vigorosi in un mare di vaniglia ammorbidita e scurita da benzoino.
Il profumo è potente e bellissimo, femminilità in piena espansione.
La nota “mandorlata” è opulenta e dolcissima, inebriante e quasi stordente.
I legni e i muschi sono letteralmente travolti da una cascata immensa di fiori, ipnotici e seducenti.
Un profumo che non prevede mezze misure, di lunghissima persistenza. Audace e sfrontato nella sua essenza, ama il centro della scena nella sua assenza di timidezza.
Il prezzo è alto, equiparato a forza, sillage, persistenza.
Assoluto.

Man… I have no idea why I put it on this morning, after I already tested it earlier and decided it is such a boring, ordinary fragrance.
Eau de pretentious fabric softener/air freshener.
And the brand-new foil sealed spray vial was only about half full – what’s up with that LM??
Андрей3001 – :
First, this is by far a much nicer and rounder scent than Midnight Fleur by Nest. It is beautiful from initial spritz to the last note. I love how it settles and develops on the skin with those vibrating waves of bliss floating around as I I move. I feel it like a lush floral perfume with a touch of sweet vanilla which is all but foody. The quality is sure and almost visible. It says for long hours and I simply enjoy it.
Paher – :
Unlike others, I did not find “Sensual Orchid” to be particulary sensual at all. This is a very pleasant scent.
I do enjoy orchid and almonds and this scent by LM Parfums has done a good job of combinating the two. But for me this lacks some bitterness maybe? From the start “Sensual Orchid” is almost chokingly sweet.
It lasted around 10 hours and projected very strongly.
Worth a try for those who enjoy floral ultra sweetness. Not worth the huge price tag, though.
Retails for 196 EUR/100ml

It reminds me of Versace Crystal Noir. Sweet and creamy, at a moment almost gourmand almond-vanilla. It is an extrait and too dense for hot weather but nice for winter and colder weather.
Amunkjudy – :
To me, this fragrance seems more like a sensual peony than orchid itself. It has something of the shampoo-like floral aroma of peony massmarket fragrances, here made more interesting by a complex combination of powdery florals, sweet almonds, cozy and sweet and somehow nutty benzoin and creamy vanilla. It’s more floral at first, but the rosy and clean peony aspects linger for a good time after the fruity aspects are gone, and what lingers mixes well with the warm sweet base. It has a very good sillage, but altough it’s an extrait i just think it’s, pretty or not, just very expensive for what it is.
Deroxytdic – :
Tried it in a department store in Knightsbridge this summer (2012) when it was brand new.
It is an incredibly luxurious, exotic and beautifully blended creation.
All the flowers harmonize together and somewhat amplify the orchid note.
I am daring enough to wear this as a man, but I guess you have to be somewhat adventurous.
THE perfect contender for an ASIAN holiday far away, say Japan or Burma, Java.
I consider it an aphrodisiac. Just like NOTHING out there at the moment.
10/10 Masterpiece.
