Native Singaporean Orchid notes: Vanda Miss Joaquim
Vanda Miss Joaquim is a hybrid orchid made from Papilionanthe teres and P. hookeriana, and it is Singapore’s national flower. While its scent is subtle, efforts have been made to extract and enhance it for use in perfumes and team-building activities. The orchid contains anthocyanins, which are antioxidants that protect cells, and coumarin compounds, which may help with blood clotting. Although not mainly known for its fragrance, Vanda Miss Joaquim is highly valued for its cultural significance and potential health benefits.
