MCM Orris

I was disappointed by this, a pal sent me a sample and whenever I see 'Orris' in the title of a fragrance I mentally prepare for something lovely and frankly quite safe in terms of most peoples tastes, orris butter is divine, irones and ionones are divine (used correctly) and orris bases and materials like Orris givco are lovely, orris blends well with most stuff...basically how'd you fuck orris up? Well MCM manage it! hahah...no I'm kidding, it's not all bad but I think the name is a little misleading for me, despite some vague orris texture I can just about detect. I think? Opens lovely, complex, lightly floral and fresh but then to me this quickly becomes a salinated, cucumber, dill, papyrus-lite, fragrance which glimpses Santal 33 more than any orris perfume. Do not take from that, that this is a clone of Santal 33, I'm using it as a very loose reference. I'm not a huge fan, smells a bit cheap and lacklustre (yes I know snobby) it does progress throughout the day, and is not completely unrewarding, just not for me.
