    Sunds more interesting then the usual VS output, and I love the bottle. I’ll check this out when I go to the US next month.

    There was a really nice orchid interpretation from VS back in the late ’90’s-early 2000s that I loved. It may have been Tender Orchid. Whatever it was, I’ll definitely check this out since I often like the idea of orchids as a main fragrance note. Even the oud doesn’t scare me off this time. ;)

    The name reminds me of that Blake poem ‘O Rose / Thou are Sick / The invisible worm has come in the night…’

    It’s interesting that both B&BW and VS are launching new scents/lines that seem to be striving for a higher level of sophistication (they’re the same company, right?).

      Yes, both owned by Limited Brands, and yes — good point!

    QUESTION: Being a guy, does everyone think a guy can wear this fragrance?

    Because it sounds interesting enough to me to be intriguing and possibly worth a try.

      There’s no way to tell w/o smelling it…but VS’s “usual” style is very sweet & very feminine.

    I have to admit, I’m intrigued by this! Ever since I moved from NYC, I’m much more dependent on malls and department stores for my random fragrance fixes :-) Although I find the pacing of VS releases really dizzying…didn’t they just release one, with the bottle that kind of resembles Prada Candy?

      VS does a new fragrance every month or so, they work at an incredible pace.
