This woody, yet interesting scent fits perfectly with so many occasions. It’s soft but also natural and fresh. I often go for typical feminine perfumes but this is a great unisex one. I’m in love!

The very first spray you get a lovely and strong violet leaf. Reminiscent of old style lipstick and feminine powdery makeup. I was in love until a few seconds later when this somewhat mild masculine note slipped in. I am very sensitive to anything with a touch of masculinity in it so that was a real turn off for me. This masculine undertone continues to peak out throughout the entirety of the fragrance on my skin. I tried hard to love it. This NOT at all a bad fragrance. And the longevity and quality are amazing. Just be prepared if your female that this does have a masculine undertone. It does have that lipstick smell as well but it’s like feminine lipstick with a very small touch of your boyfriend or hubby’s cologne. I would love this on my husband but he said nope so I will be selling.

Started out as lipstick scent but it didn’t last. It turned faint sweet woody on me.
edit: Birnam_Wood’s review below is spot-on. That’s how I would describe it if I know English better.

I should have listened to one of the reviewers – it does smell like lipstick. It also reminds me of pressed powder. I should have passed on this one.
Edit#1 – I tried layering with Jo Malone Golden Needle Tea – epic fail.
Gave it away to a friend who likes the scent. Just goes to prove that colognes are a matter of personal preference 🙂

I like this very much! It’s for guys or girls but I like it on clothes too. Very calming permeating scent. Slightly delicate but not overtly feminine. The sandalwood isn’t too in your face and the orris and mild musk work together. I would wear this and share with my husband. The sandalwood is understated.

Orris is vivid yet short-lived, smells like a faded lipstick mark on an old letter.
A few minutes later, it transitions to sandalwood base, though the woody facet of sandalwood is soon tainted by something remind me of…rubber? It pretty much stay that way (rubbery woody) till the end.

A very relaxing fragrance

Cheaper version of Le Labo’s Santal 33. Pretty linear, beautiful opening but a slightly scratchy note in the drydown that I also find in Rose d’Arabie and MM L’Attesa, I’m guessing some iso e super or timbersilk, either way it’s always a deal breaker for me. If either one of those super concentrated molecule compounds don’t bother you and you’re looking for a beautiful sandalwood/orris frag at a great price, you need to check this one out.

The multifaceted character of Orris perfectly interpreted with Jo Malone London’s Orris & Sandalwood. A compelling fragrance; an ambrosial woody note with a charismatic floral accent. Hailed as a complex ingredient and considered as the most expensive in perfumery, Orris are cultivated and extracted in a time-honored process. Orris’ surprising duality; woody and powdery, floral yet deep. Warm and sensual caught in a violety trance. It’s deeply enthralling in its intensity, mysterious in its simplicity.
The scent opens with the delicate floral note of Violet and Galbanum that brings a smooth, earthy and powdery softness with a vibrant green character reminiscent of Iris stems of Tuscan hillsides. The powdery floral elegance of Orris envelops the heart, Iris Captive and Geranium lends a rich facet echoing a classic & captivating elegance steeped in sunshine. This is magnified with Sandalwood, Cypriol, Labdanum and Amber at the base for a creamy, warm and unique sensuality strengthening and extending the longevity of the scent.
