What do cattleya orchids smell like?

by Orchid Grower

A friend of mine who makes perfumes recently made a floral perfume with orchid notes, and she said that the scent was that of a cattleya orchid; she called it a purple orchid. I've never smelled a real cattleya orchid before, but the smell of this perfume is fresh, brisk, floral, green and sweet. Would this be the smell of an actual orchid of this variety?

We have some that smell like fruit punch, chocolate, lemon, vanilla, peaches and more.

Perfume is strongest in the early morning.
