What does Orris smell like?

It opens with pink pepper, coriander seed and Italian bergamot, with carrot seed adding a spicy, green freshness. In the heart, lily of the valley and tea blossom bring a light floral touch while Atlas cedar and patchouli lay a woody base. Vetiver, vanilla and iris lead the base, and the scent softens into something powdery, lightly sweet and creamy.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it leaves a close trail rather than a loud one. Most voters pick summer, spring and fall, with winter less favoured. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Most voters read it as feminine, though modern and masculine votes are there too.
