Orchid Mantis by Zoologist £200.00
- Key notes:
- jasmine
- lemon
- orchid
- patchouli
- rose
- sandalwood
- Aromagroups:
- floral
- woody
In the muggy shade of a tropical rainforest, an orchid sways seductively. Its glistening petals tremble in anticipation, inviting a passing butterfly to consummate the intimate act of pollination. Succumbing to the allure of the silken flower, the butterfly eagerly flits forward. But as it prepares to alight, the exotic bloom abruptly transforms. Delicate leaves contort into dagger-like forelegs, seizing the bug’s fragile wings. Before the butterfly can comprehend its fate, its head is devoured, crushed between the powerful jaws of the stealthy orchid mantis.
Orchid Mantis lures you into a fragrant illusion. Juicy pear, rich rose and heady jasmine entwine with basil and ylang to suggest the intense scent of orchids. This vintage style is set against the backdrop of a humid rainforest evoked by patchouli, moss, sandalwood and vetiver. An enduring musk serves as a reminder that beauty can also be beastly.

A rugged patchouli in extrait strength.

About Dream Moon by Pacifica
- What makes Dream Moon different from these similar fragrances?
- Dream Moon uniquely balances floral, woody, and musky notes with a distinct pink rose presence, while many similar fragrances emphasise either fresh, smoky, or more resinous facets. It maintains a softer, elegant character compared to some richer or more intense alternatives.
- Are these perfumes suitable for both day and evening wear?
- Many of these fragrances offer versatility for day and evening, but some, like Beso Negro or PG08 Intrigant Patchouli, lean towards a richer, more intense profile better suited for evening wear. Fresher options such as Campus or Orchid Mantis can work well during the day.
- Do all these perfumes include floral notes like Dream Moon?
- While Dream Moon highlights pink rose as a floral note, not all listed perfumes focus on florals. Some emphasise woody, earthy, or smoky elements more strongly, though several include violet, geranium, or jasmine to provide floral facets.
