Orissima

Orissima by Ted Lapidus is a warm, sophisticated gourmand fragrance centered around ripe peach, golden caramel, and a subtle patchouli base. It opens with a vibrant burst of grapefruit and peach, creating a juicy, slightly sparkling effect that quickly evolves into a creamy, powdery bouquet of orange blossom and iris. The caramel note is rich and associative, not sugary, with a mature depth that lingers through the drydown. While some note the slight aquatic or minty nuance initially perceived as 'Noxema'—a fleeting impression that fades with time—overall the scent reveals a refined elegance. It's best worn in cooler months; the longevity is exceptional, lingering well past 12 hours even on skin, with moderate sillage that becomes intimate in close proximity. The perfume feels both classy and cozy, featuring a soft, almost radiant diffusion that suits day or evening wear. It’s versatile, with a scent profile that evokes a modern Parisian woman—sophisticated, subtly sensual, and effortlessly elegant.
