ResinousWhat does Orris Wakan smell like?
Its longevity is rated strong, while sillage stays moderate, so it is felt close rather than filling a room. Being unisex, it sits comfortably on both men and women.
Orris butter leads at the start: fresh, green and slightly earthy in its floral feel. Sandalwood in the heart adds a creamy woodiness, and white musk in the base smooths everything out. Sweet, spicy and resinous tones give it a quiet oriental warmth. The Dua Brand Wakan Iris Orchards and Kinana Qamra have a close profile.
