Hidden away in exotic foliage is the Madagascar orchid that blooms in secluded beauty at night just before dawn, perfuming the air with its delicate fragrance. This precious white flower is the inspiration behind Lisa Hoffman Beauty's exquisitely romantic Madagascar Orchid fragrance, a floral blend as softly haunting and mysterious as the rare ephemeral flower itself.
This FiFi Fragrance Award Finalist of 2012 opens clean and fresh with notes of lemon and bergamot against sheer jasmine, giving it a powdery quality that seems to float with airy sweetness.
The floral heart is lush and overflowing with romance and exotic beauty. Notes of lily, tuberose, orange, ylang dew, mimosa, and pink peony sweep the wearer into a private sanctuary surrounded by untouched wild blooms. The reality of this place is almost dreamlike as the fragrance warms with that heavenly floral sweetness everywhere. That enticing blend makes you feel utterly feminine and privileged to be granted access to this secret garden.
As this intoxicating fragrance dries down, it is elegantly seductive with notes of amber and soft musk in its base with a dash of spice from clove bud oil to keep it somewhat mysterious as well.
If you appreciate white floral fragrances, you should try this one because it can sweep you away with its beauty as it did for me. What elevates this Madagascar Orchid scent is reflected in the layering of the notes for a clean, but powdery floral that keeps you guessing with that subtle hint of intriguing spice for graceful sophistication.
