visuals
Well, referring to yesterday’s post: Here are some pictures outlining how the visual sense is engaged when unpacking Orris. The tactile senses are engaged by working on the satin ribbon when unpacking and fooling around with some gold paper. I couldn’t resist bringing in some gold. Don’t worry, the price for the Orris will not be affected by extravaganza…
The concept is similar to what you know from Lonestar Memories. Here, the front images was selected by the artist Sands Murray-Wassink. Click here to read the interview with the artist and perfume lover on this blog a while ago. I find the picture fitting perfectly with the scent. It is wild, and dynamic. Dramatic in a sense, and joyful. When I have seen this proposal to illustrate the scent the first time, I thought: “Wow, what a dramatic, lively picture for this scent!”.
I love it. In it I see the headnotes, the dark rose, with the cinammon and the pepper lines. I can feel the heartnote, a wild orris, with frankincense and the agarwood extending all the way into the base
There, in the basenote I can graps the sandalwood, the vetiver and hints of ambergris.
Thank you Sands for bringing in your very personal appreciation of this scent!

Thank you Barry, I am proud on it, but more…I think Sands picked the perfect picture. The more I look at it, with Orris next to me on the paper strip. Just perfect! Fragrant wishes!

Unique, tasteful, opulent but not showy.
Simple, but effective logo.
Will I love it, as a lover of L’Air ?
I have little doubt…
Nicely done, my friend.

Hi Andy,
Are you going to commercialize the Orris scent with exactly the same formula you used for the samples or have you changed it a bit?
Thanks,
Helene
