What does Orris Noir (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter and summer trailing behind. It isn't tied to one setting, from a night out to a workday. Some read it as feminine, others as masculine, with feminine getting the most votes.
It opens with bergamot, coriander and pink pepper, a citrusy and spicy start. In the heart, iris, jasmine sambac, laurel and pimento give a floral, green frame. In the base, myrrh, patchouli, frankincense and cedarwood settle it into a woody, smoky finish.
