D'Orsay Olfactory Discoveries

Description

D'Orsay Olfactory Discoveries is the house's own 8-piece manufacturer sampler, covering all six of D’Orsay's major olfactory families (woody, spicy, floral, citrus, amber and aldehydic) in a single purchase. Every fragrance in the "Initials" collection is unisex by philosophy, each one composed as a declaration of love exploring a different facet of the house's founding story: Alfred d'Orsay's forbidden 1830 romance with Marguerite de Blessington. Because it spans the full range rather than clustering around similar-smelling scents, it works less like a sampler of favorites and more like a complete diagnostic of your fit with the D'Orsay aesthetic.

FAQ

How much is in each sample?
Each 1.5mL sample ships in the manufacturer's own set packaging.

Are these unisex fragrances?
Yes. Every fragrance in D'Orsay's "Initials" collection is designed to be shared between couples.

How is this different from the D'Orsay Discovery Set?
This is the larger 8-piece, 1.5mL manufacturer set spanning all six D'Orsay accord families; the Discovery Set is a smaller 5-piece, 1mL set focused on the house's spicier recent releases.

What does "Initials" mean in D'Orsay fragrance names?
Each name is written like a fragment of a love letter and signed with initials referring to a personality whose identity D'Orsay has never revealed, a nod to the lost correspondence between Alfred d'Orsay and his muse, Marguerite de Blessington.
