D’ORSAY Les Ombres Fantastiques A.R. is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020.

This perfume is a delicate whisper of iris and vetiver, divisive thanks to its intimate projection. Don't expect a powerhouse - it's a skin scent for those who appreciate understated elegance, though many find its elusive nature frustrating given the price tag.

About

Opening with a subtle hint of spicy cardamom and bright bergamot, this fragrance quickly settles into a creamy iris heart, softened by the delicate floral touch of cyclamen. The base is an earthy, woody blend of vetiver, sandalwood, and cedar, all smoothed over with a gentle musk. It's a composition that feels refined and close-wearing, highlighting a powdery, almost sweet iris against a grounding, clean woody backdrop.
