Orange Oudsicle

I purchased this during the sale when it was 100$ for a 50ml bottle. For me, whenever I first smelled it I was disappointed in it because it didn't smell how I expected it to smell. However, the more I wore it and let it develop, I started to really like it and get a sense of the full scent. It starts very floral to go with the orange peel. It doesn't smell like a realistic juicy orange, but a dirty orange tainted with vanilla and florals in the background to round it out. However, as the scent dries down the profile becomes much less feminine and floral, but becomes dirtied with the woods and oud coming more into play. This is where it stays throughout the dry down (about 1.5-2 hours from opening). I imagine Orange Oudsicle tells the story of an orange creamsicle that was dropped in a flower bed and melted, so that the stick still has the creamsicle residue on it, while also being surrounded by flowers and covered in a little dirt.

This is such a playful perfume and I really appreciate the sense of humor behind it while also being of great quality. The orange is rounded with a creamy and sweet vanilla, making the titular orange creamsicle accord. The oud and ebony brings a hearth of warmth, that helps ground this perfume. The almond and heliotrope, help to give more brightness and depth to that creamsicle accord. This smells like the name suggests, and is absolutely worth getting your nose on. For those that seek performance look no further. More than two sprays and you’ll damn near fill a room, and many have commented on how much they like the smell. But may not be the most appropriate in an office or school setting as it can be a little loud when over sprayed.

I bought this beauty a while back and it has become my muse, my companion fragrance that goes with me on almost all my daytime adventures, my signature daytime scent. It starts of with a very distinct , deep orange then you get that wonderful Creamsicle vanilla...but then...the star of the show...the Almighty Oud....an unexpected and delicious compliment grabber. Excellent customer service too!

Sampling Aromas de Salazar Orange Oudsicle, a creative blend that fittingly smells of an orange creamsicle (an orange/vanilla ice cream treat on a stick), like Blueberry Chypre and Cola Oud, a highly innovative mix of contrasting elements with strong performance, a fun semi-gourmand. As is often the case, the opening is a bit spicier, more biting, and intense, while the dry down is smoother, creamier, and sweeter. This is case where I prefer the more toned-down dry down the more intense, pervasive opening, but I think that many will find the evolution to be interesting. Beyond the orange, vanilla, and oud, this is rounded out with florals and woods, but the three main notes are the main story, and I enjoy what Michael Salazar has done with this. Orange Oudsicle is priced at $175 for 50ml, in the middle of the house’s range, very reasonable in the current market for a niche, inventive perfume that performs well, and is sold via the house website and Perfumology. 7 out of 10

$225 for 50ml of this is actually insane. Absolutely not.
