Eel — I’m hopeful he’ll offer samples of Orris when it’s released, so people can try it, but I have no idea. Given its expense, maybe not. I would still encourage you to buy unsniffed — it is outrageously beautiful, and if you like his other stuff you’re halfway there.

Thanks for the wonderful enhancement of your previous comments about Orris. It’s truly a lovely, evocative and informative review (and my hat is off to anyone who can use the word “pellucid” convincingly)! Orris is the only bottle I may end up buying unsniffed, based largely on Andy’s amazing track record and great descriptions like this.

BBliss — I am surprised that more people aren’t put off by the sweetness. I suppose there’s so much else going on in there, it’s forgiven?

March – thanks for making me feel better, as I was starting to feel a little defective in this area!

Yep, the SL sweetness really undoes my stomach, and there’s something else in some of them…but not sure what it is – it defnitely is a common base or note…so maybe it’s the cedar, too. I’d rather waft than wear, too!
