to me it is a hint of spearmint fused with a light powdery fragrance when you back off the flower some. It has ahh lets say a sweet spot

the color has changed from the 2nd flower somewhat. more light and more heat? We see if being open for a few days darkens it up.
Sam did offer this phal , some cattleya and a dendrobium amongst his other list.

The color variation due to variations in growing conditions is quite amazing!
