What do reviewers say about Orris Root and Petrichor?
Some fragrances want to fill the room. Orris Root wants to stay with you. The powdery-woody tension reads quiet at first spray, then deepens into something that lingers like a memory you can't quite.Orris Root
Petrichor doesn't try to smell like rain. It smells like what happens after, when earth, water, and a shaft of light exhale together. If you want something that outlasts the clouds, this is it.Petrichor
