Orangey scent?

56 replies

WeirdArchitecture · 27/06/2021 19:59

Can anyone recommend me a citrusy orange scent that lasts well and has a nice warmth to it for summer evenings, etc?

There's a guerlain one that caught my eye but it has some odd reviews - some say it smells like a vitamin drink (!).

I have previously tried and not loved Byredo and Atelier Cologne, nor do I like the orange and bergamot by molten brown.

Under £100 preferably.

Any tips?

Eau des Merveilles by Hermès

So gorgeous. A rich warm orange rather than zingy and fresh citrus.

Shay and blue blood orange. It's devine.

Guerlain pamplelune is extraordinary but might be a tad too grapefruit.

Jo malone orange blossom is amazing

WeirdArchitecture · 27/06/2021 20:08

Beauty Pie also do one, with a matching body cream.

Lancôme O de l’Orangerie

Jo Malone, orange bitters! Delicious but only comes out at around Christmas time.

whippitwoowoo · 27/06/2021 20:58

Shay and Blue Blood Orange is amazing.

I am gutted that Diptyque appear to have stopped making L'Eau de Tarocco which is the most delicious blood orange cologne. If you ever see it, I recommend it wholeheartedly.

4160 Tuesdays The Orange Tree. Absolutely gorgeous with a bit of orange blossom. Definitely under £100?

DKNY woman smells like blood orange juice - it’s lovely.

Penhaligon’s quercus is lovely - it’s orange citrusy but has a really lovely warm, sexy undertone

WeirdArchitecture · 27/06/2021 22:06

so many to check out, thanks!

L'Artisan Parfumeur Seville a' l'aube is the longest lasting orange I've ever come across. Very few citrus based perfumes will last as that's the nature of citrus, (and many of course are specifically marketed as summer scents, so the light/fresh appeal is paramount)

thecatfromjapan · 27/06/2021 22:08

California Reverie by Van Cleef and Arpels. Beautiful summer fragrance.

(But I think you're quite overwhelmed by helpful suggestions now! 🙂)

SecondCityShark · 27/06/2021 22:09

Dior's Dune is a beautiful warm scent that smells like oranges to me.

Janaih · 27/06/2021 22:17

A colleague used to wear boss woman orange, smelled very sophisticated.
Dkny woman as pp said, one of my favourite fresh scents.

Lookatthat · 27/06/2021 22:30

Jo Malone nectarine blossom and honey is beautiful and summery.

MunsterThyme · 27/06/2021 22:36

Some lovely suggestions. Is the Guerlain you’re talking about Orange Soleia? It’s a lovely scent for summer.

If you want realistic, juicy orange then Atelier Cologne Orange Sanguine.

coffeerose · 27/06/2021 22:52

Quercus by Penhaligons.

it was the allegoria orange soleia yes!

I have used orange sanguine before but it did nothing for me, sadly.

I love Gucci Flora which is orange and patchouli, the edt is fresher so might be better for summer but I wear the edp all year round.

CinnamonJellyBeans · 27/06/2021 23:09

Le Labo Bergamote 22. Has the orange you need, but also has an uplifting note, which is hard to describe. You can try a sample first.

SecondCityShark · 27/06/2021 23:23

I just looked up Dior Dune earlier after recommending it. One of its top notes is mandarin, so that confirms that my nose is right Grin

I love Shay and Blue Blood Orange. The Jo Malone Orange Blossom is nice but more floral than fruity IMO.

Not what you asked but Caudalíe Gourmand hand and nail cream (white tube with purple lid/writing) has a lovely fresh orange smell too!

I might check out some of these myself!
