Orchids depend on scent but, sometimes more important to them is appearance. .Their shape and color is often a perfect doppelganger for their insect pollinator and they draw the insect in this way. Sometimes they reward their particular insect’s devotion, sometimes they just trap and deceive. In perfume they are also about attraction and beauty. They evoke feminitiyand  sex and  are a symbol of woman's private parts in art.  We have  three orchid specialists, Orchid whisperers,  that share with us not only their knowledge and affection for orchids but also their expertise in re-creating this beautiful and difficult perfume type. Elise is one in cultivating orchids and we invited Ellen Covey of Olympic Orchid Perfumes and Juan Perez of Exotic Island Aromas to divulge some of their secrets in creating orchid perfumes and knowledge on the many orchid varietals
