Serge Lutens Fleurs d'Oranger - You really must like your orange blossom served straight up with cumin. Lovely white florals - jasmine, orange blossom, tuberose, incredibly sensual. Orange blossom beats tuberose and jasmine in this rock/paper/scissors version of white florals. Fleurs d'Oranger is in the Floral fragrance group.
from boisdejasmin - "Fleurs d’Oranger is an orange blossom that pretends to be a tuberose. Or perhaps vice versa. Either way, this Serge Lutens composition dispels any illusions about flowers being sheer, pretty and delicate. Fleurs d’Oranger is sultry and opulent and is one of the most dramatic floral compositions, oscillating between the honeyed sweetness of white blossoms and the salty muskiness of sunwarmed skin."
from olfactoriastravels - "Orange blossom is aided by copious amounts of indolic jasmine and fleshy tuberose to produce a hefty white floral, not disappointing those who love a grand entrance. Fleurs d’Oranger lasts forever and a day and its sillage is considerable if not applied most sparingly."
from perfumposse - "Yummy orange blossom. This one is so well-behaved, with just a hint of naughty in it. I think I’ve only written about it once when I did my Orange Blossom perfume post. I know March has been in love with this forever, and this is my one and only earlier review, which I stand by – “fleshy, dense orange blossom, cumin’ed to within an inch of its moral limits just on the open. Hang with it, that cumin plumps the orange blossom up, the armpitty aspects cool off pretty quickly, and it becomes a spectacular, lush, sensuous orange blossom.”

I like this perfume, and am a big fan of orange blossom, but there is an undeniable hairspray top note. after it wears off, perfume is nice, but doesn't last long after that. I still like it, and if you've ever bought straight orange blossom water, it does have that hairspray smell. But for my money there are other perfumes that do a better job approximating the smell minus the offensive 90s hairspray notes. Not for me, but nice overall.
Spicy, rich, and a little dirty. I really like this.

Rich and spicy and fresh doesn't quite seem possible, but to me this is all three. Not sure about longevity, but I love the way it smells.
More than just an orange flower note. It has a very exotic smell that is sexy yet not cloying. Good sillage and longevity. Am going to add this one to my burgeoning orange flower perfume collection.
...with it's irresistible, seductive (but I find it airy also) aura and unforgettable trail, with a touch of magical spell. A true scented "weapon" for special occasions... All such qualities made me love Fleurs d'Oranger from the first sight and this masterpiece to become one of my favorites...
The smell of white flowers more beautiful than I have smelled, if they want to be thought of as the courts smell of Seville, rose, tuberose, jasmine and orange blossom, try it. It's voluptuous, happy, strong and last long on the skin. It has now been redesigned and is more light ... may not be a success.
