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
This is a scent for close conversation rather than loud entrance: a dry, textured cloud that feels intimate, a little sly, and slightly off-center. It suits someone who likes their presence to register as interesting before it reads as sweet, with the cocoa and orris creating a soft-focus trail over a sharper, mossy frame.
How to wear
Best worn in cool to mild weather, where its powdery orris and earthy moss can stay defined and the cacao remains plush rather than heavy. One or two sprays are enough for a concentrated extrait; on skin it should feel close, textured and long-lasting, with a gentle but noticeable aura in the air.
Who it’s for
For wearers drawn to powdery woods, earthy florals and unconventional gourmand touches, especially if they prefer natural, niche compositions with a dry, savory edge. It will appeal to those who like fragrance to feel tactile, slightly enigmatic and more textured than sweet.

The nose
Ted Rohn. As Raer’s founder and in-house perfumer, Rohn works in a natural, ingredient-led style that treats each material as the starting point for the whole composition. His approach favors clarity, texture and contrast over sweetness or polish, which suits 07 Orris+Cacao’s dry powder, cocoa warmth and mossy bite. Rohn’s broader signature is tied to Raer’s Berlin-based botanical aesthetic: modern, linear structures built from rare natural materials, with an emphasis on ethical sourcing and handcrafted formulation. In this fragrance, that sensibility shows in the way orris is allowed to stay central while cacao acts as a teasing accent rather than a gourmand takeover.
Raer’s story
Raer is a Berlin natural-perfumery house built around handcrafted botanical formulas, rare raw materials and a modern, Bauhaus-influenced sense of structure. Its identity rests on sustainability, direct sourcing and an insistence that natural perfumery can be bold, unconventional and sharply composed rather than soft or decorative.
07 Orris+Cacao’s concept
07 Orris+Cacao is a 2024 reworking of Raer’s earlier No. 07 Orris Root, reframed around the pairing of powdery Tuscan orris and velvety cacao bean. The composition was introduced as part of Raer’s Esxence 2024 new releases and is presented as a mischievous, enigmatic botanical parfum handcrafted in the brand’s Berlin atelier.
Extra info
It is a numbered scent, No. 07, and in 2024 it replaced Raer’s earlier 07 Orris Root. The formula is fully botanical and handcrafted in Raer’s Berlin atelier, with orris from Tuscany and cacao from West Africa at its core.
