      ‘In the muggy shade of a tropical rainforest, an orchid sways seductively. Its glistening petals tremble in anticipation, inviting a passing butterfly to consummate the intimate act of pollination. Succumbing to the allure of the silken flower, the butterfly eagerly flits forward. But as it prepares to alight, the exotic bloom abruptly transforms. Delicate leaves contort into dagger-like forelegs, seizing the bug’s fragile wings. Before the butterfly can comprehend its fate, its head is devoured, crushed between the powerful jaws of the stealthy orchid mantis. Zoologist Orchid Mantis entices you into a fragrant illusion. Juicy pear, exquisite rose and dainty jasmine entwine with basil and ylang to conjure the intense scent of orchids, set against the backdrop of a humid rainforest evoked by patchouli, moss, sandalwood and vetiver. Ultimately, an enduring musk serves as a captivating reminder – that beauty can also be beastly.’ – Zoologist Perfumes
