Vanilla Orchid
Vanilla orchid is the flower of the vanilla vine, and while the flower itself is fleeting, in perfumery the name evokes the delicate floral aspect of vanilla before it becomes the familiar sweet spice. It smells soft, creamy-floral with a hint of vanilla warmth, more blossom than bean. Perfumers use it in refined vanilla florals where they want the flower's elegance rather than the pod's richness. In India, its soft creaminess suits winter evenings, adding gentle warmth. A subtle, sophisticated take on vanilla for those who find regular vanilla too sweet or obvious.
