ORE 2022
Most of the ingredients this time around are the product of special extraction methods which both remove much of the pigment from the materials and also results in highly ‘sculpted’ and curated aspects of each raw material, allowing the problematic elements to be discarded while retaining the aspects most desirable to the perfumer. Ore is a deep and dark pseudo gourmand. It’s not overly sweet nor overly woody. It exists somewhere between those two, and in-between is a soft bed of sweet & smokey balsam & resin notes. Though with greater emphasis on a baritone throated olfactory timbre, this version is quite true to the original with the primary focus being on calibration and material improvement/quality.

ORE 2023
Mellowed aromatic/herbal notes and increased oak and balsam materials. Ore 2023 is deep and enveloping, and more refined than the prior version. Exceptional.

Here's what other people are saying about Ore...

I have 3 versions of Ore. A decant from 2014 (the 'marble' days), a bottle from around 2019, and a bottle of the 2022 'clear' juice. I've loved this fragrance since 2014 and, I'll be blatantly honest, it has just gotten so much better in every iteration that I've smelled. The 2014 is wonderful but somewhat raw. 2019 felt as though a lens was coming into focus compared to the earlier version. 2022 you ask? 2022 is the lens perfectly calibrated to look into the heavens and see all the stars above. I know there are a lot of ingredients in here but 2022 is perfectly blended to smell like chocolate, woods, and a huge dose of pure awesome. Anytime I want to wear this fragrance at this point, I will be reaching for my 2022 bottle. No question.

My all time fave gourmand. So much chocolate, but not unnatural at all. One spray goes a long way. I've had the same bottle for five years - it's not a daily, but whenever I'm wearing it I get a ton of really fantastic attention. Quite strong - it'll fill up a whole room when first applied. Might be the sexiest fragrance I have.

By Nathan - Freelance Arts from Seattle on 6/1/2021

This is one of the more expensive perfumes in my collection. It is dark and mysterious and so chocolatey. An earthy chocolate with some whiskey that turns more woody later in the dry down, though the chocolate never really leaves. It lasts forever on two sprays. I wear this for me and it is my favorite (though not my husbands, he prefers something sweeter on me). I only took away one star for the price and also I thought the bottle was a bit plain.

The opening is tremendously powerful and rich with cocoa freshly prepared from african forests, fresh and natural. The vibe turns then more oriental with Very rich aroma of spices that are just ground and served in an indian resturant in the heart of islamabad. Very unique and special scent

This was a difficult scent for me to come to a conclusion on. I tried my best to become a fan yet it seems as if the makers tried a bit too hard. I discovered a more cocoa and fruity aroma which didn't combine well.

By Andrew - Sales Exec from Minneapolis on 4/13/2020

This is the only cocoa scent that smells genuine on my skin. Everything else I've tried smells synthetic. I had pretty much given up hope on cocoa and chocolate, and was actually curious about this because of the tobacco and whiskey. I was so surprised when this opened up with real cocoa, and it stayed for quite some time with the other delicious notes. This is amazing, cozy, and warm.

By Leslie - Student from Nashville on 12/24/2017

Whoa this is a very strong scent of some type of wax when you first spray and it is very potent! Then it drys down to an old Library/ or warehouse smell with in a half an hour. Then the final scent on my skin is a little chocolate, more of the tobacco and vanilla with some sandalwood. This is something I will have to get use to because it's a fragrance in my opinion that is meant for a man not unisex at all. I may end up giving it away for a gift! You only need to spray a little of this or it will make you sick and probably be offensive to others!

By Loretta Gay - FUEL CONSULTANT from ATLANTA on 10/24/2017

I bought this perfume because I wanted to smell like a jazz club, and it did not disappoint. It's a bit dirty and gritty, but the gourmand base balances it out. I love to wear it out to dance all night long to live blues music. In addition, I once dated a man who was highly sensitive to perfumes, but this one gave him no issues. Quite the contrary, he loved it! I've only bought samples of this over the years but it may be time to commit to a full bottle.

By Amy - Designer from Charlotte, NC on 10/17/2017

Oh my! Just when I thought I wasn't going to add to my fragrance collection. It's powdered cocoa, vanilla, caramel, whisky and liquid smoke blended to perfection. I will be dipped in Ore this holiday season.

By Earnest - Retired Legal Professional from Washington DC on 9/8/2017

On me, this is a gorgeous gourmand. It opens with a rich raw cocoa, then blooms and warms into a boozy, woody caramel. An astringent oregano surfaces now and then, flickering and keeping things from being sticky sweet. On my male partner, Ore changes character. It's a smoky wood with almost pipe-tobacco sweetness - a bit one-dimensional. I adore Ore, but suggest a sample first. If you share my partner's body chemistry, you may not want to smell like your grandfather's den.

By Jel - Academic from Tempe, AZ on 2/23/2017

Ore is a fabulous, resinous wood fragrance. There is a lot going on in Ore, but ultimately, it smells to me of lacquered woods with a booziness around the edges. I love this fragrance and I'm proud to have it in my collection. Another masterpiece from Josh Lobb, and my favorite after his best ever fragrance, the mighty Norne!

By RPB - Corporate America from S.F. on 1/25/2017

This stuff is amazing. I ordered it purely out of curiosity because I really liked Pear and Olive (I typically prefer fresher frags), and, once I tried this, I have not been able to enjoy any other perfumes. Seriously, it is so alluring to me: warm, sweet, boozy, and woody all at once -- like the patchouli fragrance I never even knew I was looking for! Fantastic longevity and sillage. I am a female, by the way; I do not find this to be too masculine (though I'd love to smell it on a guy!).

By Jay - teacher from Syracuse, NY on 2/4/2016

Manages to pull together a number of disparate elements into a rich, comforting, masculine whole. One of my favorite fragrances.

By Peter - Project Manager from Goleta on 1/28/2016

I did not care for the cocoa -caramel interpretation at all! Interestingly, after I scrubbed if off with soap, there was a tenacious oak and guaiac base that lingered for some time that I enjoyed very much. I would suggest first trying this scent out very sparingly!
