The orchid-scented cream
You can hold a small, hand-carved rosewood jar containing a thick, easily spreadable scented cream. The orchid note is unusual: delicate, slightly sweet and exotic shades sit on a floral base, providing a fragrance that is anything but ordinary.
Why choose the orchid note
Orchid is an elegant, slightly mysterious floral scent, unlike the more familiar rose or lavender. If you enjoy it when friends comment on how interesting your fragrance is, it is worth giving it a try. Thanks to the cream base, it stays close to the skin and never feels intrusive.
How to apply it to your skin
Unscrew the rosewood lid and lift out a poppy seed-sized amount of cream with your fingertip. Warm it on the back of your hand, then smooth it onto the inside of the wrist, the soft skin of the neck or behind the ear. The cream releases its fragrance with the warmth of the skin, so the full scent unfolds slowly and gradually.
For which occasions
In its mood, orchid is elegant and especially recommended for festive wear. It pairs nicely with evening events, concerts and dinners. By day, you might choose it if you enjoy a slightly unusual fragrance that no one else in your surroundings is likely to wear.
What to watch out for with sensitive skin
The cream contains fragrance compounds, so a skin test is recommended: apply a little to the inside of your wrist and wait an hour. Do not use on broken or irritated skin and keep away from children. Store the rosewood jar in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat; this way both the fragrance and the beauty of the wood will last a long time.
