The fragrance contains scented notes of Coelogyne Mayeriana, a native Singaporean orchid. Coelogyne Mayeriana is used as an ingredient in the perfume Citrus 2 (Women) for Team Building Perfume Workshops at Scentopia, known for its essential oils derived from orchids.
Coelogyne Mayeriana is characterized by its beautiful lemon fragrance and its attractive, clear, apple-green petals and sepals. However, the flowers of this species only last for a few days. In 1928, it was reported that the species was pollinated by wasps attracted to its scent. While it was extinct in Singapore, it was fortunately still found in the lowland forests of Malaysia, Sumatra, Java, the Philippines, and Borneo at elevations ranging from 0 to 100 meters.
Fortunately, Coelogyne Mayeriana has been successfully reintroduced to several parks and roadside trees in Singapore. Its scent is often described as a sharp lemon mixed with lime flower. The plant is pollinated by wasps that are attracted to its smell.
Another therapeutic orchid note is Acriopsis liliifolia. It is known by various Malay names such as Anggerek darat, Sakat Ubat Kepialu, and Pemolek. The name "Acriopsis" is derived from the Greek words "acris" (locust) and "opsis" (resembling). These orchids are commonly found in lowland forests and on roadside trees throughout Southeast Asia.
Ants are known to build gardens around the pseudobulbs of Acriopsis liliifolia because the lipids on the orchid's seed coats attract ants, which assist in their dispersal. In Malaya, a decoction of the leaves and roots of this orchid was used as an antipyretic. In Indonesia, the juice from the pseudobulbs was applied to the ear to treat earaches or tinnitus, and pulverized pseudobulb was used as a plaster on the head or abdomen to alleviate fever and hypertension. Additionally, the roots of this orchid are used to treat rheumatism in the Western Ghats region of India.

The species possesses a delightful lemon fragrance and is distinguished by its appealing, transparent, apple-green petals and sepals. However, the flowers have a short lifespan, lasting only for a few days. In 1928, Carr reported that the species was pollinated by wasps, which were drawn to the scent emitted by the flowers. While it had become extinct in Singapore, it was fortuitously discovered in the lowland forests of Malaysia, Sumatra, Java, the Philippines, and Borneo, thriving at elevations ranging from 0 to 100 meters. Fortunately, this species has been successfully reintroduced to various parks and roadside trees in Singapore. Its scent can be described as a vibrant combination of lemon with hints of lime flower. The plant relies on wasps for pollination, as they are attracted to its fragrance. |
Therapeutic Orchid notes:
Acriopsis liliifolia
Malay Names: Anggerek darat, Sakat Ubat Kepialu, Pemolek The name of the orchid, Acriopsis liliifolia, has its roots in the Greek words "acris" (locust) and "opsis" (resembling). These orchids are commonly found in low-land forests and on roadside trees throughout Southeast Asia. Ants have a tendency to create gardens around the pseudobulbs of this orchid because the lipids present on the seed coats of the orchid attract ants, which aid in their dispersal. In the past, a decoction made from the leaves and roots of the Acriopsis liliifolia orchid was utilized as an antipyretic in Malaya. This usage was recorded by Ridley in 1907, who served as the Head of the Singapore Botanical Garden, and also by Burkill in 1935. In Indonesia, the juice extracted from the pseudobulbs was applied directly into the ear to alleviate earaches or tinnitus, and powdered pseudobulb was used as a plaster on the head or abdomen to treat fever and hypertension. Furthermore, the roots of this orchid are employed in the treatment of rheumatism in the Western Ghats region of India. |
