Fleur D'oranger Intense

Fleur D'Oranger Intense by Fragonard is a bright, radiant, and intensely floral orange blossom perfume with a clean, soapy character that evokes fresh milled French soap. It opens with a lively citrus-green burst of bergamot and mandarin, harmonized with intense white floral notes—particularly orange blossom, jasmine, and white flowers. The scent is not sweet or cloying but rather crisp, natural, and uplifting, with a drydown enhanced by subtle musk and sandalwood that adds warmth and depth, making it feel more mature and sophisticated than many other orange blossom scents. It has moderate sillage and lasts for about 5 to 6 hours, making it suitable for a full day, especially in spring and summer. The perfume is clean and bright in character but strong in presence, so a light application is recommended to avoid overwhelming others. The scent is particularly appreciated by those who enjoy natural, floral-focused perfumes that feel true to life and evocative of a blooming orange grove in Provence or southern Europe. It strikes a balance between freshness and richness—some users describe it as radiant, joyful, and unpretentious, while others note that its intensity can be overwhelming in hot weather or in close quarters. The drydown is soft and cozy, with a delicate soapy elegance that many find wearable and flattering. The scent has a strong identity and is notably more intense than the original eau de toilette, with a significant shift toward sandalwood and musk, which many consider a natural evolution. While it does not change drastically in nature over time—some find it even less sweet now than before—its original power and punch may be less forgiving for sensitive environments or less confident wearers.
