From your scent profile
Lanvin Blue Orchid is a women's fragrance that links a fresh opening of candied mandarin orange, apple and Calabrian lemon to a powdery floral heart of heliotrope and blue orchid.
Skunky's take: That just-out-of-the-shower feeling, clean and fresh.

PowderyWhat does Blue Orchid smell like?
The citrus notes come first, with apple softening the brightness and the mandarin adding a sweet edge. In the heart, heliotrope, blue orchid and orris root build a floral, powdery surface. The base of musk, cedar and tonka bean settles it onto a light woody, sweet footing. The overall impression is a clean floral that sits between fresh and sweet, with a slightly synthetic sheen. Intimissimi Innocente and Jil Sander Ultrasense White have a close profile.
