Zoologist Orchid Mantis Extrait de Parfum Decant
What it smells like on skin
Read the full scent story
Orchid Mantis draws you into a humid garden where beauty conceals something predatory. Juicy pear, citrus and basil glisten beneath dewy leaves before an extravagant bouquet of orchid, queen of the night, ylang-ylang, jasmine and rose blooms. Moss, patchouli, vetiver and sandalwood turn the garden darker as it settles.
Try this if you love lush tropical florals, green humidity and fragrances that are beautiful with a slightly dangerous edge.
