Floral

Cattleya orchid smells like expensive silk and creamy vanilla with a whisper of fresh, almost soapy floral brightness. Imagine walking into a luxury hotel lobby where someone's just arranged a dozen exotic blooms—there's an indolic, slightly animalic warmth beneath the sweetness, rather like the scent of a woman's powdered skin or soft peach flesh. It's not sharp or perfumey, but luxuriously soft, powdery, and slightly intoxicating, with a delicate spice that makes you lean in closer.

Oriental

Labdanum smells like walking into an ancient library where leather-bound books meet honeyed amber. It's warm, slightly resinous, and vaguely medicinal—imagine dried apricots dusted with incense, with a subtle leather undertone and a hint of barnyard earthiness. There's a sticky, almost tar-like quality that feels both precious and primal. It's the scent of luxurious comfort with an unexpected roughness, rather like wrapping yourself in a worn cashmere blanket that smells faintly of honey and smoke.
