What does Peau d'Orris smell like?

The top shows apricot, osmanthus and kaffir lime, joined by Bangladeshian oud. In the heart, orange blossom, jasmine sambac, neroli and orris root build a floral, powdery backbone. The base rests on leather, Mysore sandalwood, Siberian deer musk and oakmoss absolute, giving it a woody, leathery, animalic ground.

Voters find the longevity very strong and the sillage strong, and although the number of votes is small, the ratings are high. As a unisex scent it can read as masculine or feminine. Wasif Reza Peau d'Orris V2 and Areej Le Doré Borneo de Orris have a close profile.
