What kind of phal is this?

I just bought a fragrant phal from trader joes. I tried searching online but with no success. Can anyone help me ID this phal? It has a very perfumey smell.

I have bought KelpMax from Ray and I have to say that it works!! Any orchid I sprayed with KelpMax is growing numerous roots. The only orchids that seemed like it's not really responding are my phals.
