What does L'Orchidée Terrible smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though both ratings rest on only a few votes. This 2012 perfume by Josh Meyer has been discontinued.

The notes read as one whole rather than in layers: honey sweetness meets orchid, lily of the valley and aldehydes lighten it, and satin and white musk add a soft, powdery finish. It carries a fresh, citrusy air, with gourmand and synthetic touches staying in the background. The Body Shop Honeymania and Prada Candy Florale have a close profile.
