    Well and truly said by a couple of reviewers Orris Noir has the very similar dry down to OJ. It appears to last well with some sillage so far it has been three hours. A great evening wear for the...

    Sligtly spicey, very feminine, dark and seductive. Just not for me.

    Goes on bright and fruity and dries to dark Iris and powdery black velvet jasmine incense. Lovely, layered and complex as all the OJ scents, but unfortunately it reminds me of some vague unpleasant...

    Not one of the best OJ ... so far. It's an iris, earthy, rooty, with a minty herbal accent, in the beginning. There are some resemblances to Iris Pallida and to Città di Kyoto ( two Irises I...

    Orris Noir ... my first, most immediate impressions when I wear this beautiful fragrance are of texture - this perfume is smooth, soft, and sensual. It shares some notes with other Ormonde Jayne...

    I was saving this for Winter as Linda Pilkington had warned me that this packed a punch and was not for the faint hearted! Today, being an overcast, almost typical Summer's day in the UK, I felt...

    This one I did not like one bit. It was instantly cloying for me, I didn't even wait for the drydown (which I probably should of, and I probably will try it again) but I didn't like it. I ended up...

    This is beautful. The pepper is a bit much on opening, but the floral heart is gorgeous, and I know the base will be too.

    I am so thrilled to have found a niche perfume house (Ormonde Jayne) that has so many perfumes that resonate with me. Ormonde Jayne's Orris Noir is one of my favorites. I was sold on the base...

    Orris Noir is not a scent you immediately fall in love with, at least I didn't. The name, as well as the manufacturer's description, is misleading: this is not a noir perfume and at first struck me...

    I should mention that I am a tremendous fan of all the Ormonde Jayne fragrances I've tried so far. I found Frangipani Absolute, Tolu, Ta'if, and in particular Ormonde Woman to be complex,...

    I'm not eloquent and I have to agree with paschat's review. This is a pretty blend but on me it dries down to a fair approximation of Ormonde Woman. Since I have that one and love it I don't need a...

    Most surprisingly, there is nothing "noir" about this fragrance at all. Orris Noir is a gentle, ethereal scent that lacks the richness of Tolu and Ormonde but has a stronger presence than Champaca...
