Stanhopea Pulla - Used in Fresh 1 (Men) for Team building Perfume workshop
Stanhopea flowers have a short lifespan of three days or less, necessitating the attraction of pollinators quickly. Male euglossine bees, such as Eulaema meriana, play a crucial role as pollinators of Stanhopea flowers. These bees collect the flower fragrances throughout their lifetime and store them in their hind tibia. It is believed that the deceptive mimicry of the orchids' form and female sex pheromone contributes to the attraction of these bees. The fragrance of Stanhopea flowers is delicate, reminiscent of lemon-lime candy, cool mint, and citrus. They have a tight texture and feel similar to plastic. Benzyl acetate, a chemical also naturally found in jasmine, is prominently present in many Stanhopea species, particularly tricornis. |

Ipsea speciosa Lindl.
The Daffodil orchid, also known by its Sinhalese names Kiri Walla Kada and Naga-maru Ala, has cultural significance and specific uses in traditional practices. The tubers of this orchid are highly valued by sorcerers for creating charms and love potions, as well as by village quacks and medicine-men who believe in their aphrodisiac properties. However, the Daffodil orchid is already a rare species and is at risk of extinction due to overcollection. The popular Sinhalese name Naga-maru Ala translates to "the tuber that caused a sister's death," possibly referring to the potent effects or legends surrounding the orchid. It is important to note that the traditional uses and beliefs associated with the Daffodil orchid are rooted in cultural practices and folklore, and their effectiveness has not been scientifically validated. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect this species and preserve its natural habitat. |
