ORCHID MANTIS - ZOOLOGIST

ORCHID MANTIS - ZOOLOGIST

In the humid shadow of a tropical forest, an orchid sways seductively. Its shimmering petals tremble with impatience, inviting a passing butterfly to partake in the intimate act of pollination. Succumbing to the allure of the silky flower, the butterfly eagerly approaches. But just as it is about to land, the exotic flower suddenly transforms. Its delicate leaves twist into forelegs resembling daggers, grasping the fragile wings of the insect. Before the butterfly can comprehend its fate, its head is devoured, crushed between the powerful jaws of the stealthy orchid mantis.

Orchid Mantis, the zoologist perfumery, takes you on a scented illusion. Juicy pear, exquisite rose, and delicate jasmine blend with basil and ylang to evoke the intense fragrance of orchids, set against a backdrop of humid tropical forest, recalling patchouli, moss, sandalwood, and vetiver. Finally, a lingering musk powerfully reminds us that beauty can also be beastly.
