Ledda 22 Orris is here. Perfumer: Frank Voelkl who is also the perfume for Glossier You and Le Labo The Noir, both of which I love. Official notes: Pear leaf, pink pepper, orris, ambrette.
It’s that cool girl aesthetic in a bottle. As comforting as a hot shower, warm lather on skin, earthiness but also a hint of stewed fruit, like your mom packing your lunch, and when you gave her a hug before going off to school, she smelled faintly of the pear she was just cutting but also of soap and skin.
That’s basically what you get in the new 22 Orris by Ledda. It’s not very orris-y but more of a fruity musk with hints of earthy orris in and around the fruit and musk, which is ambrette. If you’ve smelled Glossier You or Diptyque’s Fleur de Peau, then you’ll be familiar with the ambrette. It’s like a warm shower, really comforting without being hot, heavy, or cozy. I really enjoy it in every perfume that has it and it’s the most addictive finish for a perfume. 22 Orris adds the fruity component which adds a considerable dose of sweetness. If you didn’t like the floral aspects of Fleur de Peau, or You is too simple, then maybe this will be more to your liking.
