Scent Profile
Within a fragrance inspired by night flowers, Dendrobium Orchid can contribute a deeper floral expression. Tuberose absolute and jasmine join it to create a fuller bouquet, with fruit, vanilla and the softness of musk providing surrounding textures. The character described in that setting comes from the meeting of the different floral and accompanying notes.
