Commodity Orris by master perfumer Stephen Nilsen... rich, indulgent, luxurious ...and ready for you to experience at every Sephora in North America and Australia. Watch the complete film at CommodityGoods.com/films | It’s not every day you meet a dreamer and a scientist. As a teenager, Stephen came across a National Geographic article about perfumers, and he instantly knew what path he wanted to follow. His ever-inquisitive mind led him to the world of science, and he received his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering. After an established career in flavors, he switched paths to follow his lifelong dream of becoming a perfumer. His inquisitive nature and curious mind brought him to New York City, where he started his perfumery training. Stephen believes in following dreams; his approach to perfume reflects a sense of play and intelligence. He believes that fragrances can truly bring people to a place of happiness, using scent as a visceral cue to recall memories or create new experiences. “Orris root was my muse for this fragrance. When I contrasted it with floral elements like iris, and combined sparkling aldehydes, an unexpected, cool effervescent effect was created – an inebriating skin-like sensuality.” | #stephennilsen #commoditygoods #behindeverybottleisastory #sephora #sephoraaus #sephoracanada #sephoramx #fragrance #eaudeparfum #orris #orrisfragrance
