By the editors · 2 min readOrris & Sandalwood begins with the unexpected sharpness of galbanum — a green, resinous note that immediately distinguishes this from the house's lighter output — softened by violet bloom. The heart belongs to orris in its most powdery, root-like form: earthy rather than cosmetic, the raw material rather than the processed extract. Geranium adds a rosy-green dimension alongside it.
Cypriol and labdanum contribute dark, smoky facets to the base that prevent the sandalwood from reading as soft or generic; the effect is mineral and woody simultaneously, dry and warm. A composed, uncompromising entry in the Cologne Intense line — Pierre Negrin working at the precise intersection of powder and earth.
