Fleur D'Oranger
by L'Artisan Parfumeur
Fleur D'Oranger by L'Artisan Parfumeur is a highly authentic and evocative orange blossom fragrance that captures the essence of a blossoming orange grove. It leans heavily into the white floral and citrus accords, with neroli, orange blossom, and petitgrain forming a bright, sweet, and slightly bitter core. The scent is described as the most realistic interpretation of orange blossom possible, offering a vivid, almost memory-triggering experience of a Mediterranean summer. While some versions (pre-2008) are praised for their balance and depth, later editions are noted to be greener, more bitter, and less floral, with more petitgrain dominating the composition. It is best worn during daylight hours in spring or summer, and while some users report longer wear when sprayed on clothing, the overall longevity is brief to moderate with minimal sillage.
