If you are genuinely “conjugal partners” as you claim to be (and are in close enough proximity to “swipe” some of each others perfumes as you also claim), PLEASE have your conversations face to face, in private or – at the very least – elsewhere.
Please STOP flooding perfume review pages with your personal *banter*.

This has to be one of the strangest and probably the most unpleasant openings to a perfume that I have ever experienced. Orris Florentina hits the skin with a harsh, slightly bitter blast of purple. It almost has texture and smells “gritty.” Sniffing my arm, warily…this stuff is fierce…there is a strange, almost chemical smell. If this is the bergamot, it is bergamot on the hunt for prey; bergamot ready for the kill.
For the next two hours the fragrance on my skin remains harsh and uncompromising, but somewhere in the air above my arm, there is a clear fruity scent, almost blackcurrant but not quite as sharp. Looking for it, I foolishly inhale another gasp of the chemically mutated bergamot. It has not changed. The aura is also still there, seemingly disconnected from the site of the original spraying.
Half an hour later, this is strangely lovely. There is a beautifully clear note of raspberry, a little powdery but not sugar sweet. Even on my arm, which I was not expecting ever to want to sniff again, the change has taken place. I love the way fragrances do this. It is like magic. Unless the powdery effect is the iris, that is not showing yet, but now it seems worth waiting to see where this will go next.
And so, I waited. The lovely raspberry note continued, fading slowly, for several more hours. The touch of powder softened it and took away the sharpness from it, but never manifested itself properly as iris. I am sorry about that. I could…possibly…have handled that harsh beginning, if the iris and raspberry had played sweet duets together. Without that, this is a pretty, raspberry fragrance with a weird start.
Longevity is good on my skin and I was able to smell the raspberry for about 7 hours without effort. Fortunately projection in the early stages is minimal, although once the raspberry appears it is more than arm’s length. For a lover of raspberry notes, this is a very pleasant one, once it is reached. I am not a lover of most fruity fragrances, and Orris Florentina does not have what it takes to overcome that. It is certainly an interesting fragrance.
