Ted Lapidus Orissima is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Alexandra Monet. Orissima opens with Grapefruit, Bamboo, and Peach, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Iris, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Musk, Patchouli, and Caramel. Ted Lapidus's Orissima carries an Acquired verdict, a caramel-led wear.

This is a seriously divisive caramel-peach blend. Some find it a sophisticated, long-lasting fruity gourmand, while others recoil from what they perceive as a poorly blended, vague fruity mess. Blind buy with caution, or preferably, don't.

About

Orissima opens with a bright, juicy burst of peach and grapefruit, rounded by the green freshness of bamboo. The heart softens into a floral bouquet of iris, peony, and orange blossom, subtly powdery without being overwhelming. As it settles, a prominent, sweet caramel accord emerges, grounded by earthy patchouli and a clean musk drydown, creating a warm, fruity-gourmand finish.
