This enigmatic creation shimmers between dusty chocolate leather and rain on warm concrete. Rare Tuscan orris lends a soft, mineral veil; dark cacao casts a velvety shadow. Vetiver, copaiba wood and oak moss create a tough, leather-adjacent effect. Unplaceable yet comforting.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
An afternoon interrupted by rain: warm pavement darkens, and the air takes on a stony smell. This fragrance carries that contrast indoors, where dusty cacao and soft orris feel comforting without becoming sugary. Its register is quiet but unconventional, suited to close conversation rather than a grand entrance.
How to wear
Start with one light spray on skin, letting the concentrated orris and cacao settle before adding more. Mild to cool weather suits its powdery richness; on warmer days, keep the application restrained so the mineral and savory facets have room beside the chocolate. Skin application keeps the emphasis on its contrasting textures.
Who it’s for
For lovers of powdery iris, earthy woods and cacao that reads dark rather than confectionery. It will appeal to those who enjoy the suggestion of leather and damp mineral surfaces, and prefer their gourmand fragrances savory, abstract and difficult to place.
Release year
2024, new version 2025
The nose
Ted Rohn, Raer’s founder and perfumer, approaches botanical fragrance with a fashion-trained eye for contrast and texture. He previously worked as an art director at Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent under Tom Ford, and is largely self-taught in perfumery, with a brief period of study at ISIPCA. In 07 Orris+Cacao, that approach takes the form of dark chocolate, powdery orris and an unexpectedly mineral, leather-adjacent character.
Raer’s story
Raer is a Berlin botanical perfumery that combines Bauhaus clarity with an appetite for unconventional textures. Its vision of natural fragrance is bold rather than politely green, built around botanical ingredients without synthetics, small-batch production and direct relationships with growers. Formulation, blending and bottling are handled in-house.
07 Orris+Cacao’s concept
The starting point was the smell of freshly poured concrete on a hot summer day. A lingering memory of wet stone and mineral air became an attempt to reconstruct that sensation through perfume. Dark cacao and Tuscan orris give the resulting mineral dry floral its unusual balance of richness, dustiness and softness.
Extra info
The Tuscan orris used in the fragrance is hand-cultivated on a longstanding family farm and matured for three years after harvesting. The official profile dates the current version to September 2025, without specifying the changes. The 30 mL bottle is also available without its retail box.
