De Laire produced two orchid bases, Orchidée №s 1 & 2. Fraterworks Orchidée № 2 is a restoration of the latter — the more floral and historically more popular and widely used base. Orchids are generally odourless and in perfumery circles the term is commonly used to refer to clover (treflé) or salicylate based fantasy aromas. Orchidé

This helps make my Orchid accord come to life. This is beautiful scent. Absolutely got to have in a perfume organ.

Jamie had warned me that this was not based on any actual orchid, but I still imagined it would smell like some glorious heady cattleyas that can smell like a perfume in themselves. Of course he was right, this base does not smell like an actual orchid. It is a complex aldehidic floral with gravitas. Smelling it I was filled with nostalgia. I don't know if it reminded me exactly of a vintage perfume in my scent memory or rather of the quality, detail, and beauty that we used to experience in our world. I am very grateful for artists such as Jamie who maintain and create these experiences of awe and beauty. These are the things that make us human.
