What does No. 07: Orris Root smell like?

Orris root lays down a powdery, creamy base, while rose absolute and jasmine sambac absolute add a soft floral layer. Lesser calamint and fir balsam bring a green, resinous freshness, and Nepalese sichuan pepper, Haitian vetiver and calamus root add spice and a woody depth. Myrrh ties it together with a gentle resinous warmth.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and leisure and daily wear lead the occasions. It reads slightly more feminine than masculine, though plenty of voters see it as masculine. Massimo Dutti White Tulip & Myrrh and Dries Van Noten Rosa Carnivora have a close profile.
