Event by Commodity Fragrances

A Lover, a Hater, and the Maker of our Orris fragrance walk into our SOHO Flagship Store…

Join us at our Commodity store in SOHO for an evening of Champagne, Snacks, & a Show, featuring:

- Stephen Nilsen, Master Perfumer (The Maker of Orris)

- Emma Vernon, Scent Expert, Comedian & Perfume Room Podcast Host (The Lover of Orris)

- Vicken Arslanian, Commodity Re-Founder (The Hater of Orris)

Hear from three different perspectives on one comeback fragrance, and hopefully, gain a fuller picture of what Orris actually smells like - before you get to smell it for yourself.

Beyond the fragrance itself, orris is also one of perfumery’s most prized ingredients—earthy, powdery, buttery, and luxurious. To truly understand this fragrance, you need to know the note. So we'll also be including a mini Masterclass on orris: what it smells like, why perfumers love it, and how it shapes the scent of our Orris fragrance.

Orris is back, and now it’s your turn to decide. Smell it for yourself, hear all sides of the story, and weigh in: Like it? Hate it? Or is it actually a masterpiece?
