Blue Orchid is a light, airy fragrance with a delicate balance of salty sea notes, sweet citrus, and soft floral undertones. It opens with a juicy burst of cranberry and mandarin orange, framed by sea salt and driftwood, creating a crisp, refreshing impression. The heart reveals a dreamy interplay of lotus and jasmine, giving it a gentle aquatic quality without any harsh or overbearing elements—it's as if you're walking through a dewy spring garden near the coast. The dry down features a soft blend of musk and sandalwood, leaving a tender, skin-scent quality that lingers on fabric and skin, especially in warm weather. This is not a powerful or long-lasting scent, but rather a refined, transparent elixir best worn during spring and summer. Its wearable, unobtrusive character makes it ideal for office environments, casual outings, or as a body and laundry spray to refresh your clothes. It appeals to those who appreciate clean, fresh scents but dislike the sharpness often associated with aquatic fragrances. The scent feels serene and uplifting, with a subtle sweet nuance that feels safe and elegant.
