What does Suede Orris (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are moderate: it neither stays close like a skin scent nor fills a room. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, and it leans towards daily, leisure and business wear. Voters read it as more feminine, though it is marketed as unisex.

Mandarin orange, elemi resin and frankincense give it a fresh opening. In the heart, Florentine iris, jasmine and rose add a floral, powdery softness. Labdanum, cedarwood and patchouli then ground it in a sweet, creamy, leathery base.
