By the editors · 2 min readOrchidea leads with lavender that skews herbal and clean rather than sweet, grounding the fragrance from the outset. There is no obvious top-note brightness — the composition feels like it begins mid-stride.
Ambrox provides a smooth, skin-close warmth that diffuses through the sandalwood, lending a soft, slightly solar quality. Leather appears as a dark undercurrent rather than a dominant statement, adding texture and a faint animalic edge. Amber ties the base together with low-level resinous depth.
The result is an aromatic-leathery fragrance built around contrast: medicinal lavender against warm amber-skin, with sandalwood acting as a quiet mediator throughout the drydown.
