Night Flyer Olympic Orchids Artisan
by Olympic Orchids Artisan Perfumes
Night Flyer by Olympic Orchids Artisan is a deeply evocative, earthy, and mineral-heavy fragrance that captures the sensation of a humid tropical cave rich with overripe fruit, wet soil, and damp stone. Its opening is strikingly raw—dominated by ripe banana, fig, and a surreal mineral note reminiscent of wet rocks or freshly turned earth, along with a soft, musky leather and warm resin base. Over time, the scent evolves into a complex and balanced composition of tropical fruits, earth, and resins, with a slight musty, cave-like depth that some compare to petrichor or soaked moss. Despite its boldness, it maintains remarkable depth and longevity, lasting well beyond 12 hours on skin with a moderate to strong sillage that lingers through the night.
Pros
- +Uniquely compelling and artistic, offering a deeply immersive experience akin to walking through a natural cave.
- +Exceptional longevity and projection, especially for a niche fragrance, with lasting power over 12 hours.
- +Delivers a realistic, high-quality earth and mineral accord without being cloying or overly fruity.
Cons
- −Stands out as extremely niche and polarizing—its earthy, 'dirty' base may be overwhelming for those not fond of mineral or soil notes.
- −The initial sharpness—slightly reminiscent of hairspray or stale air—can be off-putting, especially on first application.
- −Not a sillage-friendly scent for casual wear; warns against overuse due to its powerful, persona-focused projection.
