Le Gemme Orom

WILD to compare this to Babycat, even scent profiles don't intersect each other aside from sharing some notes in their respective pyramids. Anyways, I don't think I have actually tried something super similar to Orom, but the closest I can think of was Vertus Vanilla Oud and even that would be a stretch because there is a insignificant amount of challenge to Orom, while the Vertus presents challenge and even more situation-specificity to the wearing. Standalone fragrance, based on this feedback - hope I got the message through. Slightly sweet approachable wood and vanilla matureR fragrance that did not require so much of a commitment each time I've worn it. This doesn't necessarily require planning or a particular outfit, but to someone over the age of 25/27 is an easy reach during spring, fall, and winter - especially for night time wear - when you want this profile, which is, although easy to wear, it probably isn't a daily driver. It is a tinge more elegant than casual. I pick up a resinous touch through its development, embraced by some warmth and sweetness - never too sweet nor funky with the distinctively present oud/woody note. Overall a good performer with great staying pour (>7h) with sufficient projection for me to smell it easily in the air around me for good 3-4h without suffocating. I've worn this at home for home office and never been annoyed by it. Present but not announcing itself, with its quality being so fine! Pricing is justifiable. I upgraded from a 30ml to the 100ml without a doubt, even before getting some other Le Gemme fragrances that I love. Very fine introductory niche fragrance that delivers!

my last review here is what i smelt in store, it smelt like a sensual masculine vanilla but i didnt get carlisle vibes from it at all. it was less dark, warmer, more vanilic and sultry. bringing it home and smelling it properly i see so much carlisle here now!! but its just the dark creamy vanilla of carlisle, theres none of the patchouli/nutmeg/green apple etc which define carlisle heavily. so its like an unfinished carlisle, or if you’re not a fan of the patchouli there this is a great similar alternative wit the same vibe, but much closer to the skin whereas carlisle is loud...in Orom initially i get a bit of the syntheticness red tobacco has (that carlisle doesnt) - though alot less and seems to fade with time as it gets more vanillic. the vanilla is TOP NOTCH here, and becomes more prominent later. Id wear this layered with carlisle or other dark/tobacco kinda stuff...i think its a bit too close to the skin for me to wear out; the juice is also quite thick as you’ll feel when u spray it on skin. it is very long lasting, on the skin, with intimate projection. just dark, smooth and sensual, nothing punchy about it...ill admit its overpriced for what it is but god its good...like a dark masculine skin scent, we all know what this would be appropriate for

when you spray you get hit by a combination of oud, frankincense resins and benzoin, slight hints of green baby pine cones and vanilla on the background. the sweetness at the start is minimal and other dry woody oudy notes dominate the scene. the oud on this one reminds me of the oud in russian tea oud by masque milano. it feels oily, woody thats very addicting without the animalistic parts so its a western safe oud imo thats getting enhanced by sandalwood. as it dries down i feel the combination of vanilla and sandalwood and let me tell you the vanilla is divine and very high quality type of vanilla . the longevity is very nice, it projects around arm length for 5 hours and the vanilla still detectable on my skin after 16 hours. این عطر فوق العادست شروع کارعودی و صمغی هست با ته بویی از میوه کاج سبز ، کم کم بوی رزینی و روغنی چوبی عود کمتر میشه و جاشو به وانیلی بسیار لذتبخش و با کیفیت میده. وانیل این عطر منو یاد درای دون وانیل عطر دیور ادیکت میندازه که واقعا لذتبخش و با کیفیته و اصلا شبیه وانیل مصنوعی و به شدت شیرین بعضی از کار های دیزاینری و ارزون نیست .بعد از 16 ساعت هنوز بوی وانیل روی پوست حس میشه و 5 ساعت اول راحت پخش بوتا یک متر داره. به هیچ وجه باز خورد خوبی نداشت برای من در حد امواج سیلور عود از منفور ترین عطر هایی بود که از اطرافیان بازخورد گرفتم .

This fragrance is so good This is my third review of it because I literally cannot stop glazing it, hands-down highest quality vanilla i have ever experienced, I genuinely cannot say enough how absolutely majestic this smells, it genuinely smells like something from another dimension , it’s not even that unique of a scent profile , it’s basically just vanilla and oud , but it’s the best vanilla and the best oud I’ve ever experienced, also Bvlgari apparently uses actual oud for this which is pretty cool considering most designers use synthetic even in their private lines, and to my nose it definitely makes a difference It definitely has the quality of the real stuff, it’s a very mass appealing type of oud too , it’s definitely more of a sweet smoky oud rather than an animalic one and vanilla is definitely the front of the whole thing, this is a prime example of the difference between high and low quality ingredients because even though it’s just vanilla and oud , they’re both so high-quality that it smells like something I’ve never experienced before, it makes it unique I know this stuff is $400 but I actually labeled it as good value , just because you really get what you pay for here un like most 400$ private lines

I don’t know about the 100ml formulation vs the 125ml I got. You can tell this is from a premium line. The opening is a fresh vanilla, it feels even ozonic, for a few minutes, then it warms up. The vanilla is controlled. Not sweet or cloying. Very polish, nothing out of place. The resinous part pops up after, and takes the vanilla to a slightly darker side. The Oud is clean. Nothing to worry about it. It pushes after 15 minutes, but nothing is out of place. Longevity is great and I don’t expect this to be a loud scent but it gives me 8-9 hours. Projection is good. The first 1 1/2 hours pushes it but again, it’s controlled and never invasive. This is a top fragrance. Babycat is darker and more sweet, with a woodsy base. More spicier. Orom is a step up to Babycat, and Babycat is already a highly regarded fragrance. I love that DNA (I also own Vanagloria). This one, it has an extra touch of refinement. I can see this more fit an evening scent, fall , winter, and even spring if is not warm. Summer, it may be heavy because of the notes being better suited for cold temperatures. A fantastic addition to my collection. I have Babycat as my top 5 on my collection. It may be pushed down a notch by Orom.

Stunning in its simplicity. Orom is a very simple fragrance, it's an ambery and oudy vanilla that smells excellent. The vanilla is clean, light and airy, the oud is full bodied without being barnyardy and, along with the benzoin, it gives the vanilla depth to make Orom a gorgeous unisex scent. There's a slight medicinal undertone to the scent early on, almost syrupy or bubblegummy, that gives it an interesting edge. I've seen people say oud can smell medicinal and I'm guessing this is what they're referring to. The dry down is an amazing powdery and ambery vanilla scent, the oud is completely gone (at least to my nose) after a few hours. My mom doesn't like oud and she really liked this, and my sister liked it so much she said she saw herself wearing it and even added it to her fragrance wishlist. Now I'm very interested in trying out more fragrances from the Le Gemme line, mainly Gyan and Onekh. Performance was good, a bit underwhelming for the price but not bad at all. Projection was moderate but sillage was moderate leaning on dense, and I could smell myself pretty well for a few hours. Longevity is good, this lasts 8 hours with relative ease but it's already a bit faint on skin.

This is probably the best, most refined oud scent in my collection. I would put this in the same category as Outlands and Oud Zarian (although they smell nothing alike) in that the oud is present, but not overpowering, barnyardy, or otherwise unpleasant. I know only three notes are listed, but there's absolutely other things in here that I can't accurately pinpoint because it's so incredibly blended. I'd say there are toasted warming spices of some type, along with the vanilla, oud, and very resinous benzoin. There's also something syrupy and slightly fruity...maybe a cherry note? As far as uses, I feel most comfortable wearing this at special occasions or events, like holiday parties, receptions, or any place where I'll be wearing a suit or even a tux at night (are operas a thing?). I won't wear this on dates because it truly does smell opulent and regal...it's just a little too much and may overshadow your presence (instead of complementing it) in an intimate setting like a date. I find the scent very masculine, and would personally not want to smell this on a woman. Overall, Orom is a solid A+, 9.9/10 fragrance, and to me it's the best scent in Bvlgari's private line.

This fragrance is a monster! Upon first spray you are hit with a strong, refined oud with a hint of warm spice and leather that just screams quality from the get-go. As it dries down, the oud settles into a slightly boozy, vanilla heavy profile whilst maintaining that backbone of warm oud. After 12+ hours of solid sillage, this fades into a complex vanilla skin scent which LASTS. From my testing, one spray is still detectable on skin after 18 hours... Orom may be one of my favorite scents I have ever smelt. This is a truly masterful blend of a boozy vanilla oud that is clearly constructed with very high quality ingredients. Master perfumer Jacques Cavallier has further cemented himself as a virtuoso of his craft. A little confused by the people saying this is super masculine...? This fragrance is 100% unisex. I think this may be one of the most unacknowledged designer ouds out there and it's a shame that it's been discontinued in most regions after such a short run. With a less aggressive price point this would have been a major hit.

Went from sampling to buying full bottle, to me this is the most wearable vanilla fragrances for men(and women). Absolute worth the price, this one performs like an extrait almost. Compared to Baby Cat you get quite a bit less sweetness, a more dry aromatic vanilla. The Oud works to do a more leathery/woody feel than say medicinal. IMO the best benzoin-heavy fragrance I’ve tried. A very simple note structure, uncomplicated and somewhat linear but this works well for a vanilla heavy fragrance. Just a long pleasant relaxing experience. Like all Le Gemmes it has massive performance and silage. This was the one type of fragrance missing in the line up, I’d love to see them do tobacco now. If you love dry woody vanilla that’s not sticky sweet or cloying with a leathery base snap this one up before they discontinue it. Finally they really gave it probably the most beautiful cap in the line! This one can be worn in dry heat or cooler weather equally, extremely beautiful work here.

Decided to get a sample of this instead of just buying it. I’m glad I did...smells great, certainly, but it is true this is a very familiar scent. I found it reminiscent of YSL Magnificent Gold, which is ‘white’ Oud and vanilla. Mancera Aoud Vanille and YSL Caftan also come to mind. The thing that really stood out to me was you can sense the new direction towards ‘unisex’ fragrances they apparently are going for in this line because this one honestly tilted just on the femme side for me surprisingly (most of them are strongly masculine) it had that “perfume-y” feel like Myrrh Imperiale, a little too “fluffy” feeling, a wealthy well dressed woman aura. Orom does fill a void in the line though, this being the sweetest and the only vanilla/powdery one. If I didn’t have Magnificent Gold, Ex-Nihilo Atlas Fever, Myrrh Imperiale...I would be keen to get it. However it would be a extravagant addition amongst those so I’ll enjoy my sample🤓

GOOD LORD, I already left a review on this, but it’s so unbelievably heavenly that I’m leaving a second one, this is genuinely the highest quality fragrance I have ever sniffed in my life. It’s $400 and I still put it as good value, because I feel like it’s actually worth $400, it’s literally just a bourbony vanilla and oud , but literally the best vanilla I’ve ever smelled in my life and the best oud , I really hope this didn’t get reformulated or anything. I have one of the old bottles and it’s amazing not to mention it literally lasts indefinitely one spray will fill a whole room and it lasts for. I’m not even kidding over two days on skin even after showering, literally, I sprayed it on my neck and top of my arms I showered that night. It was still there when I went to bed, then went through another whole day and took another shower and I could still smell it somehow and I’m not complaining because it’s the best smell ever 😭🙏

Orom is a proper beast! It’s a masculine scent therefore not my thing, but if it would be more vanilla with benzoin and oud than oud with vanilla and benzoin, I would be really really interested in buying a bottle! Sadly, my husband doesn’t care about Orom, but it’s a spectacular scent IMO. Lasts eternally, it’s strong and projects for hours on and on and it’s very mass appealing. The packaging is stunning, the top of the lid is particularly eye catching and the presentation is 5 stars. So it’s the price, but for a guy who likes oud and vanilla, Orom can be easily THE signature scent for cold weather. What I don’t understand is why this fragrance doesn’t get any hype but Tygar does year after year... Not saying Tygar is bad, I have tested it a couple of months ago, but it’s not as impressive as Orom! This perfume is art! Don’t know which perfumer created Orom, but whoever it is, hat off. You’re a master of your craft!

I just received my 1oz in the mail today. I was looking for a woody vanilla that was at least unisex (but I was hoping for masculine) and this fills that space perfectly. You can tell there is real oud in the fragrance right off the bat. Yes, it's somewhat linear, but for what it's doing, it's damn good. It's like you pressed paused at the smoothest part in the dry down of your favorite vanilla fragrance and made that the entire scent. As it wears you get different notes and accords (leather/oud, incense, sweet vanilla) that take the spotlight but then you take a sniff up close it's still the same scent. I blind bought a 1oz because nice size decants are way overpriced. It was a success to say the least. I can't rate the performance yet but I can say it creates a moderate bubble around you but the sillage/trail is what makes this beautiful. I'll be back after a few wears but Im loving what this is.

This is a very bold, very intense bourbon and vanilla scent, and one that should really be tested on your skin before committing (especially given the price point). On paper I got the full spectrum - a complicated boozy vanilla with resinous touches, and a touch of woody sharpness. On my husband though, this was a brash bourbon and vanilla, and we didn't catch any of those balsamic or resin notes until he'd had it on for several hours, long past when we left the store and had even gone to the gym for an hour and change. Which isn't to say we didn't like it! It was bold and different, definitely a stand out scent, but it was missing the layers that made it complex. Sillage wasn't huge on this - though we only sprayed one of his arms so take that with a grain of salt, but the longevity was killer, easily 8 hours and probably longer if we hadn't needed sleep.

Yall i did something crazy ☠️ I blind bought a $400+ niche fragrance 😭 but let me tell you I don’t regret it one bit, this stuff is worth every penny, I actually labeled it as good value because you really get what you’re paying for here, the quality of the oud and vanilla here is literally the best i have ever experienced, especially the vanilla the stuff is literally other worldly I don’t know how 2 basic main notes make something so unique just off the fact that they are literally the BEST versions of vanilla and oud in existence , this stuff smells biblical 😭🙏 I imagine this is what Gabriel smelled like when he came down to earth to tell the Virgin Mary she would be giving birth to the Messiah, and somehow not even that much of an exaggeration😭😭 , the only thing I have left to say is buy it, you will smell like an arc angel ☠️

the more i wear this the more i come to the conclusion that this is the best vanilla scent i have ever tried period, from the juicy thick resinous vanilla start to the pure vanilla ice cream dry down 12 hours later, in this vanilla journey a toasted buttery woody accord follows you from the start to the finish and its mainly sandalwood to my nose, and not oud(well, if there is oud here, the amount is probably low) i think there is a huge dose of vanilla absolute paired with vanillic musks and synthetic vanilla accords to create this vanilla heaven, but at the end of the day the vanilla accord feels natural, creamy and smooth without that skeletal feel of some synthetic only vanilla heavy scents. i would highly recommend vanilla lovers to either test this or get a decant, and don't let the "oud" note scare you away.

Opens with rubbery oud. Some what like play dough, but somehow not in a synthetic or plasticky way. As it dries down, the oud has settles and it’s slightly powdery. This is literally perfect for me. I’m getting a little bit of sweetness but I think it’s natural from the oud, and not from the vanilla yet. Otherwise it’s a toned down vanilla to let the oud do the talking. Very elegant smelling and makes me feel refined, cut from a different cloth. This is the type of confidence that fragrances were meant to give people. It doesn’t have punchy projection at all, and that’s why I love it. Whenever you go to smell it on your arm, it feels like a soft hand reaching out to you, leading your nose and guiding it. Creates a really smooth almost cashmere like blanket, that wraps around your entire body. Cosy, and warm.

Absolutely stunning men's fragrance. I scored this in a mixed lot of used perfumes. I got 11 perfumes for $40NZD (including delivery). The Orum is virtually full. Amazing scent and most expensive in my collection. Though I am female, I've been spraying this on my chest over and over and over this Autumn and intend to do so all through Winter. Lovely, smooth bourbon vanilla, smooth oud, and deeply resinous. Never knew I could like these notes so much. If only I had a lovely man to smell this good! Ah well, I shall smell myself! Absolutely immaculate and smooth. The universe gave me a great little treat! Averaged at $4 NZD for the nearly full bottle. So I will wear with abandon, at home mind you, because it's a secret pleasure (apart from sharing this on the internet).

Bvlgari Le Gemme Orom is a superb fragrance that highlights the precious qualities of Bourbon vanilla: the absolute, dry, non-gourmand purity of this precious pearl from Madagascar. Sumptuous jewel of artistic perfumery, created by the expert craftsmanship of Sophie Labbé. A fragrance with sensual, warm and intense, bold and virile notes, immersed in precious notes of Bourbon vanilla and an opulent and precious essence of oud from Assam of very rare beauty, which reveals the mysterious and mystical magic of labradorite through an olfactory blend amber and woody, full of fascinating and majestic contrasts. Fragrance worth enjoying

Smells like Jewish Coke (Cola- Cola) and cash money. The yellow capped, glass bottled Coca- Cola imported from Mexico during certain seasons (made without bad stuff) is what this reminds me of but slightly spicy. This is supremely dark yet sweet, resinous, classy and sexy. It’s my favorite from all the Gemme’s; way better than the more popular Tygar in my opinion. Unisex but alpha. If you like Babycat, Encens Suave, Baraonda, VC&A Encens Precieux or Queen of the Night you will love this; or Ombre Nomad by Louis Vuitton but with a spicy vanilla Coke accord. This is my favorite scent on my boyfriend and I wear it sometimes too.
