I find Orris a very feminine, forget-about-me scent, suitable for a night out. However, you will not stand out with this scent, as it feels very generic;
in fact, the take on orris is of the “I’ve Heard this Before”.
I cannot see a man wearing this scent, because it is too much floral-sweet-sugary.
Try before you buy.

My problem with the entire Commodity line with the exception of ‘Book’ is this: it’s completely generic. Orris exemplifies this sentiment. Orris is ‘nice’. It’s forgettable, a crowd-pleaser and entirely inoffensive.
It’s powdery orris with absolutely no intrigue at all. If you like a nice, accessible scent then you will love this whole line. All of them are so safe and forgettable that you’ll use the whole bottle and never, ever think about them again.

Beautiful quasi-orris scent! Very natural, always a PLUS!
Expensive but it’s original and longevity is pretty good.

Soft, dusty Violet candy and strange emotions. I smell this and feel stuff. I really like it but not enough to spend more than $85 on it. I do want it though. 🙁 It’s absolutely unisex leaning slightly feminine but a well dressed gent could certainly pull it off.

This smells JUST like gold Dial soap.
I love this! Can’t imagine paying $135 for a bottle, but I will definitely get the rollerball.

This is in my top 3 of the 15 storybook Commodity samples I have tried. Its really yummy but not in a over the top sweet way.
The strongest smell is warm spicy ginger, like the crystalized candy kind, or a ginger cookie dough. In the background i get fig and marshmallow.
The dry down does not chage much, gingerbread with a bit more milky coriander. I am not a huge fan of gourmands but this one is lovely and spicy. I dont really get much of the ceder, vetivert, bergamot, floral, or patchuli tbh, and the tea element would have to be a sweet black milky tea, not fresh and green at all.

Edit: got the 10 ml spray from Sephora Au and this is slighly reformulated too! Its not as deep and rich as the storybook sample version.

It’s sweet and a bit familiar but I can’t make my mind up on what it smells like. A soap? candy? flower? I keep smelling different things: powdery florals, gourmands, plants. Smells nice but gives me a slight headache

Even though this perfume is called “Orris”, it’s anything but a one note perfume. The opening is fresh and light–both in projection and feel. Initially I detect some sweet tea, bergamot, powdery orris, a touch of LOTV and a big dose of patchouli. I wish the patchouli was less prominent, but I’m also someone who is fairly sensitive to patch, so take that into account. The opening lasts less than 30 minutes and then Orris turns into a woody scent with cedar and vetiver being most noticeable. Despite the prominent patchouli in the opening, I much prefer the opening to the dry down which I find to be too woody for my tastes. I would easily classify Orris as a unisex scent.

Really, really nice take on orris. I agree with kateapple’s and ellementira’s reviews in every respect. I do not pick up as much of the patchouli, though. I love the mix of orris with the LOTV and tea notes; very fresh and original. The vanilla base note is a lovely touch, it sort of emerges from behind the cedar to mix with the vetiver and enhance everything else that’s going on. I smell the orris notes from start to finish, btw. Update: this lasted 12 hours on my arm! It got softer and softer, but was still very much present after 12 hours.

What a luscious fragrance! This is a true unisex fragrance, for sure. The beauty in this is the dichotomy between powdery orris and rich patchouli and vanilla, all blended flawlessly with the greenery of the lily-of-the-valley and tea. This was completely unexpected, and I could see this becoming popular as more people discover it. This took notes that I don’t tend to gravitate towards and turned them into something delightful. It’s masterfully blended in a way that no one note is too strong, though you can tell orris is the focus. It’s not a typical orris scent though, and I commend the perfumer for making this unique. It is both fresh and deep, sweet and bright…it’s a fragrance to be reckoned with.

I think this is the first Commodity fragrance that halted me in my tracks in the store when I smelled it. Yet it’s not a loud or ostentatious fragrance at all. It’s clean yet warm, fresh yet sensual. The perfumer did manage to capture orris in its facets, buttery warm and yet floral too.
I picked up the Commodity Storybook sampler to get to know the brand a bit better after testing some on tester strips, and I keep coming back to Orris to play out on my skin. I don’t think this is the type of fragrance to garner a huge following, but it’s just dang beautiful. If I had to pick two from the line I would go with Orris for spring/summer and Tonka for fall/winter.
