Papier Carbone smells of a school. ORMAIE says it is the school of its own founders: the library, the wooden desks, the books and the liquorice children loved.
The liquorice is star anise, set at the top with bergamot, cardamom and coffee. Clary sage, lavandin, coriander and nutmeg form the heart. Patchouli, Haitian vetiver, ambrette and guaiac wood make the base. Guaiac is a dry, smoky wood. The library shelves are in it. ORMAIE files it in the woody family.
ORMAIE is Baptiste Bouygues and his mother Marie-Lise Jonak, in Paris, working only in natural materials. The cap is an abstract shape painted a bright yellow, a deliberate echo of childhood.
ORMAIE gives it six hours on the skin, opening slowly. A working day. The hundred is for wearing it every one of them.
