Native Singaporean Orchid notes: Bulbophyllum Macranthum

Bulbophyllum Macranthum - ​Used in Oriental 2 (Women) for Team building Perfume workshop​
​This orchid is pollinated by flies, so the smell is designed to attract them. Most people find smell sweet.  Some think of it as clove like. Few people complain that they find it irritating. The oil we extracted has hints of spices, but we do not find it irritating in any way. It can add a lot of value to an aftershave or EDT for men and also adds lot of character to a women's fragrance when used carefully.
This is another Orchid used by Singapore mints on their silver coin collection.

Papilionanthe teres (Roxb.) Lindl. Syn Vanda teres Roxb.

Indian names: Chaitek Lei in Manipuri, cylindri- cal Vanda
Indonesia:    Anggerik pensil;  (Belgian): Potloodorchidee
Nepalese names: Harjor, Thurjo in Nepali, Harjor (Gurung)
Formerly known as Vanda teres, this is parent of a very important flower- i. e. Singapore’s national flower, the Vanda Miss Joaquim.
It is distributed from the foothills of the Himalayas to Upper Myanmar, southern Yunnan, Laos, Vietnam and Thailand at 600 m, and has been cultivated as a garden plant for centuries.
Phytochemistry: Eucomic acid [(2R)-2- (p-hydroxybenzyl)malic acid)] and vandateroside II isolated from stems. This compounds oxidase activity and/or expression without enhancing cellular mitochondrial content in a human immortalized keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT). Decline in mitochondrial functions occurs with age and may be an underlying cause of age-related changes in the body.
 
Eucomic acid and one of its three glucopyranosyloxybenzyl eucomate derivatives (vandateroside II) are candidates as new natural ingredients for “anti-ageing” preparations to remedy age-related disorders such as skin aging.
The discovery of anti-ageing agents in P. teres are likely to lead to its incorporation in cosmetic preparations.
 
Herbal Usage: Stems and leaves are used to improve blood flow and reduce swelling. A paste made from the plant is used to treat dislocated bones in Nepal. In northeastern India, leaf paste is also applied to the forehead to reduce fever. Tribal peoples tie a length of the orchid stem to their loin to protect themselves from coughs and colds.
