Question Id Mystery / Vietnamese mini w/ Chocolate Scent

This is a long shot but maybe someone out there knows this one.

I don't have a photo...the orchid is long ago dead...hubby wants another one.

Here is the information we have. Orchid supposedly originates from Vietnam. Monopodial in growth, micro mini blooms (2cm), lavender/might have had a little white in the column and/or labellum, lightly scented of Chocolate.

Plant was blooming sized at 2"-3" across and 3" tall. Slow grower and mounted. Needed high humidity.

The guy who gave it to us a long time ago said it was a species and not a hybrid.

They bloom only up to 5 buds per spike evenly spaced and not clustered tight. The spike is firm and grows only about 3" long. The flowers lasted only about 2 weeks. The flowers were close to the spike maybe with a 1/4" stem. Usually single spiked but once it put out 2.

The leaves are thin in width and fan like very similar to the neostylis BUT with the notch on the end of the leaf tip very similar to the Anc. Didieri. Very dark green leaves both on the upper and lower sides. The leaves were stiff too.

Any ideas?
