Fantasy/Concept

Definition

Almost scentless, waxy, tropical-architectural. Anthurium's visual drama — glossy red spathe, protruding spadix — has no olfactory equivalent. Pure concept.

Scent

Near-absent. The fantasy: waxy-smooth, faintly green-tropical, with a warmth suggesting greenhouse humidity. Less floral than anything — more like the smell of a warm, damp conservatory. Tactile rather than aromatic.

The Full Story

Anthurium (Anthurium andraeanum) is a tropical plant known for its glossy, heart-shaped spathe in vivid reds, pinks, and whites. Like calla lily, the visual impact is inversely proportional to the scent — virtually none.

No extraction exists. The fantasy accord translates visual and tactile qualities into scent: waxy, slightly green, warm-tropical, with a faint sweetness. Think of running your finger across that glossy spathe — smooth, slightly damp, tropical.

Built from waxy-clean elements, minimal tropical florals, and a green-stem note. The note functions as atmosphere — tropical indoor garden — rather than identifiable flower.
