A palette with a past
Original French designations, recorded years, historic house names and specialist extraction language reveal how these materials were understood and used in another era.
Grasse · birthplace of modern perfumery
A collection born in the heart of perfumery
Maison Orris is a family-owned collection acquired from a historic professional perfumery house in Grasse. Preserved privately for nearly two decades, it now returns to the hands and imaginations of perfumers.
A working language worth preserving
ABS, CTE, RDE, ESS, DEC, rectifié and décoloré appear throughout the collection. The glossary opens this historic vocabulary and leads back to the materials themselves.
Preserved together
For almost twenty years, florals, mosses, resins, roots, woods and forgotten bases remained together in private care. Their age is part of their character and of the collection’s singular beauty.
