The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018 and crafted by Pierre Montale, Orchid Powder by Montale is a floral fragrance that seamlessly blends sweet and white florals with powdery and woody notes. The composition opens with a bright burst of yellow florals, which quickly gives way to the creamy richness of coconut and lactonic accords. This creates an enveloping warmth that is both comforting and sophisticated, making it suitable for any occasion.
Orchid Powder is best applied lightly to pulse points — it blooms over time and has a lingering presence. The sweet florals are most noticeable in the first hour, but the powdery base notes sustain the scent throughout the day.
