Who Wears It
The story behind the bottle.
Orris by Tauer Perfumes was launched in 2006 and crafted by Andy Tauer. This fragrance opens with a vibrant clash of cinnamon and grapefruit, creating an unexpected tension that is both warm and fresh. At its heart, Orris features orris root, a powdery floral note that adds depth and complexity to the composition. The woody base of sandalwood grounds the scent, providing a lasting warmth that feels comforting yet sophisticated.
One spray is sufficient for this fragrance, as it develops its warmth quickly on the skin. The powdery notes become more pronounced over time, so it's best to let it settle before venturing out — perfect for an indoor evening spent in comfortable surroundings.
