[Guest guest]

Hi and all

Looking through Parry this morning I came accross this .....I don't know if

this is any help to you ...... you seem to have a good take on the

odours.... here it is anyway

Acropera loddigesii ...............................scent of wallflowers

Angracium fatuosum...............................scent of tuberose

Bifrenaria inodora......................................scent of lily of the

valley

Catasetum scurra ....................................scent of lemons

Cattleya Eldorado .............................scent of roses ( in the evening

only)

Cleistoma ionasmum..............................scent of violets

Coeliopsis hyacinthisma scent of hyacinths

Dendrobium glumaceum scent of lilac(morning) scent of

the heliotrope

(evening)

Dendrobium nobile...............................Scent of Hay (evening ); scent

of honey (noon); scent of primroses (morning).

Epidendrum vulerum.............................scent of carnations (morning).

Maxillaria aromatica ................. scent of

cinnamon.

Odontoglossum citrosum .............. scent of roses

Odontoglossum gloriosum ................. scent of the hawthorn hedge

Orchis sambricina......................... scent of the elderflowers

He also goes on to recommend Mousse de chene (Oakmoss) as the decidedly the

best fixative for orchid perfumes.....
