Orris Noir
by Geza Schoen
Ormonde Jayne Orris Noir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2006, created by Geza Schoen. Orris Noir opens with Bergamot, Pink Pepper, Coriander, and Artemisia, settles into a heart of Pimiento, Jasmine, Iris, and Bay Leaf, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Patchouli, Guaiac Wood, and Myrrh. Ormonde Jayne's Orris Noir carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.
Don't let the 'Noir' in the name fool you, this isn't a dark scent. Whilst some find it a unique spicy-woody experience, a notable segment of the community can't even stomach it. Try before you buy.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
With moderate longevity and sillage, it's versatile enough for an office setting if applied lightly, but truly shines for dates or formal events where its unique spicy-woody character can be appreciated without being overwhelming. The warm, spicy accords do not suit sport.
