Native Singaporean Orchid notes: Vanda Miss Joaquim
|
Vanda Miss Joaquim - Used in Floral 5 (Women) for Team building Perfume workshop
Hybrid between Papillionanthe teres and P. hookeriana, the National flower of Singapore. This is a hybrid and barely has any smell, but we had to extract it because it is the single most important Singaporean flower in our opinion. We worked extremely hard to extract and stabilise the smell, whatever little it was. You wouldn't believe the smell we found. Come and smell it anytime you like. Anthocyanins (a type of flavonoid) extracted from Vanda Miss Joaquim exhibits anti- oxidant activity. Coumarin class compounds which exhibit anticoagulant or antiplatelet activities are phenylpropanoids (three carbon side chains attached to a phenol). |
