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 an Acquired verdict, a powdery-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.

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.
