Orchid Accord.

Orchids — Exotic, Elusive, Endlessly Inspiring. With over 25,000 known species, the orchid family (Orchidaceae) is one of the largest and most captivating in the plant kingdom. Revered for their striking beauty and rarity, orchids are also known for their complex and often unexpected aromas—ranging from vanillic and spicy to citrusy, chocolate-like, and even mimetic of roses or hyacinths. Many orchids are epiphytes, growing on trees and drawing moisture from the air—a fitting metaphor for their ethereal charm. While most species are scentless, the few that do possess a fragrance are unforgettable. The orchid accord featured here leans into the sultry and vintage, almost a classic chypre in its own right: warm, spicy, and earthy, with a soft floral core. It can stand alone as a full-bodied fragrance or act as a base with remarkable depth. When paired with patchouli—a timeless match—it takes on a darker, moodier elegance rarely explored in modern floral compositions. Not your typical airy or powdery floral—this is orchid with soul. 🌸✨ Would you wear an orchid scent that leans spicy and earthy over something soft and sweet? Let us know below.
