New to perfumery + want to recreate a scent

Hi! I’m new to perfumery, but I wanted to get into it to recreate a scent from one of my favorite characters from a c-drama. I’m also currently pursuing a biochemistry degree, and I may be interested in pursuing a career in fragrance chemistry!

This is how the scent I want to duplicate is described:

- orchid (specifically ghost orchid)

- hints of jasmine

- soothing middle notes

- milky

-light and sweet

I’ve been browsing The Good Scents Company and so far I’m thinking that creme fleur (2-[(E)-hex-2-enyl]cyclopentan-1-one) might be a good option, but I’m still unsure about what other compounds I should use and how to get started. Any advice would be much appreciated!
