Therapeutic Orchids


Style is a way to say who we are without having to speak. Our choice of outfits, hair styles, make up and shoes, all reflects our personality and who we are. The same goes for fragrance. It is an additional invisible accessory that adds the finishing touch to your outfit of the day perfectly. It can play according to your outfit of the day and mood of the day.
Most of us probably buy our fragrances off the shelves. We would spend considerable long a time in perfume shops browsing through different scents to find one that we love and suit us the best.
