Orlov Paris Red Shield is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Quentin Bisch. Red Shield opens with Honey, settles into a heart of Leather, Vetiver, Iris, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Orlov Paris's Red Shield carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Divisive and sweet, Red Shield is a chameleon. Some get a refined, powdery leather, others a sticky, gourmand blast. Expect compliments or confusion; it's a bold scent that clearly splits the room.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Its potent projection and inherent sweetness make it too much for the office. It truly shines on a date, for formal events, and for casual evenings where you want to make a statement, rather than for a quick trip to the gym.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Red Shield opens with a rush of sweet, golden honey that quickly blends into the powdery, sophisticated embrace of iris and soft leather. This floral-animalic heart is grounded by an earthy vetiver, before settling into a warm, creamy base of vanilla, rich amber, and tonka bean, underscored by a lingering musk.
