I found it at an orchid show a while back and I browsed my pictures. For funsies, I included the picture of my plant because who here doesn't love more orchid pictures?

Astrid you are the best! Thanks so much. I love putting a name to my babies. Hooray!

Good job astrid. Mine is probably something similar to it but with more spotting and a pink lip.

I didn't know mine was fragrant until I was half way home and started looking around at what smelled good. I tried to smell it in the store but it didn't.

Hey! I was just wondering - could you describe the fragrance of your plant?
I am really curious! I detected a few notes of ... pine? piney smell? but overall the plant essentially had no fragrance for this bloom cycle.

My orchid stopped smelling about a week after I brought it home

It was light and sweetly floral. Can't remember more details, unfortunately.

Now that sounds strange. Mine is still smelling. I wonder why it would do that?

I went away on a business trip and didn't water it. 8^)

We have a lot of very similar NoIDs which we buy from a cultivator and resell. The cultivator is an agricultural engineer with 30 years' experience in cross-cultivation of orchids (cattleyas are his speciality). What I DO know for now is that they're a hybrid of a very fragrant star-shaped phal from Thailand (he showed me one of the parent plants last time I visited his greenhouses). Next time I see him I'll ask him if he has a name for these (not quite sure why it never crossed my mind before... oh well). Meanwhile, here's a few of my photos (gotta show 'em off, eh? hehehe):
