The enigmatic scent of rain on warm concrete. Rare Tuscan Orris lends a soft, mineral veil; dark Cacao casts a velvety shadow. Seductive Moroccan Neroli and sensual Brazilian Copaiba wood drift beneath, sparked by elusive Sichuan Pepper and earthy French Oak Moss. An effervescent masterpiece.
In the heavy heat of last summer, I passed a building site where they were pouring concrete. A strange beauty rose: the petrichor odour of wet stone and mineral that haunted me for months and months. One day, to get it out of my head, I sat at the perfume desk and actually composed it. That moment became the beginning of Raer 07: Orris + Cacao.

WHAT IS ORRIS?
Orris Root (Iris florentina)
ORIGIN: Tuscany, Italy
EXTRACTION: Resin
Orris Root is the dried rhizome of the beautiful but scentless Florentine Iris flower. Our Tuscan Orris Root is first hand harvested, then peeled, sun-dried and sorted. The root bulbs are odourless when harvested; they must be left to mature for three years in damp underground cellars to enable the Orris roots to oxidise and form the ionones that define the irresistible soft, round powdery scent.
Our Orris root is cultivated completely by hand on a centuries-old family-owned farm in the Tuscan hills.
