Walk into a hothouse full of colorful moth orchids with their perfect round flowers and their succulent green leaves. Suddenly you're captivated by a sweet, heady scent that seems to be coming from an invisible flower. It's Phalaenopsis javanica, whose tiny red-striped flowers hide underneath the huge, shiny, umbrella-like leaves and produce a seductive spicy flowery scent. Javanica, a perfume inspired by this orchid has citrus, bergamot and fruity top notes, with mid and base notes of nutmeg, frankincense, lily-of-the-valley, rosewood, and vanilla. This mellow spicy floral scent typifies fragrant moth orchids.
