Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its intimate sillage and clean, refined character make it perfect for close-quarters like the office or casual settings. It's too subtle for a formal event where you want to make a statement, and completely unsuitable for sport due to its gentle nature.

About

Orris Wakan opens with a beautifully soft, powdery orris that feels ethereal and clean, avoiding any harsh earthiness. This smooth introduction soon mingles with a creamy, almost oily sandalwood, adding a gentle warmth and depth. The dry down is a delicate, musky embrace, creating an intimate scent bubble that evokes a sense of calm and understated luxury, like perfectly clean, idealised skin.
