White Cattleya Olympic Orchids Artisan

White Cattleya by Olympic Orchids Artisan delivers an intense, initially harsh opening dominated by a sharp, waxy lemon-citrus accord that some find reminiscent of cleaning products or public restroom air. This initial intensity is a defining characteristic—unpleasant for some, but others describe it as natural, bright, or invitingly effervescent. After about 20 minutes, the fragrance transforms into a soft, delicate white floral-velvet core with vanilla, heliotrope, and musk, creating a warm, innocent, and airy finish. The perfume exhibits a remarkable evolution, balancing citrus intensity with gourmand sweetness, making it both uplifting and refined. It's particularly well-suited to spring and summer days, where its clean, breezy character and moderate sillage shine. While longevity is noted as long, it is highly unpredictable across skin chemistry. Some users describe it as an almost edible lemon meringue or vanilla-infused fizzy lemonade—refreshing and light without cloying sweetness. Others experience the initial citrus blast as overwhelming or unappealing, likening it to an industrial cleaner or bitter urine biscuit. Despite the divide, many appreciate its effortlessness, elegance, and unique character. It lingers well and projects softly, often receiving compliments despite its polarizing nature.
