Wild Orange

Wild Orange by Fragrance Du Bois – "Come to Manman... But Not in a Good Way" Let’s get one thing straight: Wild Orange is not here to play nice. This is not the fresh-squeezed, sunshine-kissed orange juice you sip on a breezy morning. No, this is the orange that’s been through something—the kind that makes you question your life choices after just one spray. The first blast? It’s like an orange peel slap across the face. Not a playful one—a "wake up, fool" kind of smack. It’s bitter, it’s zesty, it’s borderline aggressive. Imagine peeling an orange with your bare hands and the juice squirts directly into your eye. That’s Wild Orange in its opening act. Then, just when you think you’ve survived the citrus assault, things take a turn. The dry-down sneaks up like an ex you blocked on all social media. You think it’s gone, but it’s lingering in the background with a woody, musky presence that won’t quit. The citrus softens, and what remains is an orange-infused trail of spice, woods, and a touch of regret. Performance? Oh, it performs alright. This stuff sticks like that one guest who doesn’t know when to leave. 10+ hours of pure, unrelenting, orange-infused chaos. If you’re not ready to commit to the experience, don’t even bother. Would I wear this on a first date? Absolutely not. This is the fragrance you wear when you want to test someone’s loyalty or see who’s brave enough to handle your presence. So, if you’re looking for a scent that says, "Come to Manman, but not in a good way," then congratulations—Wild Orange is your ride or die. 🔥 Performance: 10/10 (It stays whether you like it or not) 🔥 Scent Profile: 7/10 (A bold, citrus-woody rollercoaster) 🔥 Wearability: 5/10 (For the brave, the bold, and the utterly chaotic) Final Verdict: If you want a polite, juicy orange, look elsewhere. But if you’re looking for an orange with serious attitude, a grudge, and a personal vendetta against your nostrils, you’ve found it. Wear responsibly. Dr. Rose the Perfume Lady ~ Youtube

Blind bought this, and let me just say that this is quite beautiful. Very much a feminine fragrance unless you're a man who loves floral compositions. Very floral forward. Oranges and flowers. Sweet, but not sugary sweet. Just naturally sweet from florals and mandarin. But more sweet than some other citrus fragrances I've tried. Sweet oranges and florals. Some freshness from the lily of the valley and cypress. Definitely get a soapy/clean vibe from the lily of the valley, but it's not too overwhelming. Projection is strong. If you like florals and mandarin, give this one a go! It has become one of my favorite fragrances over the months since I purchased it <3

One of the best orange fragrances I have ever experienced. I was wandering Neiman Marcus and stumbled upon this stunner. The quality and the profile were so amazing but the price was INSANE. It was one of those, Oh My God .... take a picture of the bottle so you don’t forget this, moments. Luckily I found a bottle of this rare and limited gem at a discounter for $167 marked down from $435. The quality was too good to pass , and the price was lower than most designer fragrances. Add to that the over the top ultra luxurious presentation and I’m sold !

The first spray and sniff are a combo of old school Juicy Fruit gum and orange flavored baby aspirin. And I’m here for it. This above mentioned opening lasts about 30-60 minutes, then it starts to morph into a more grown-up smell. There’s a bitter woody smell and the always present opening whiff. Mild Orange/Powdery Aldehydes/Faint Bitter Wood. On a personal note, I’m not a fan of sweet fragrances for my skin chemistry but this is enough of a unique scent that I’ll let a mild sweetness slide. I wish the opening lasted longer.

Very pretty orange blossom. It's funny-in another season I tried this and got mostly juicy oranges, but now that it's winter and cold out, I'm getting mostly orange blossoms. It feels like it's heading towards indolic blossoms, but never quite gets there. I never have gotten the bad things people have written about it, below, but it's also not my favorite orange blossom fragrance. I have many others I absolutely love, like Sintra, Guimauve de Noel, Perdizione (!) and Neroli Blanc Intense, all of which are less expensive than this.

I love the quality of all Fragrance du Bois fragrances. And Wild Orange does not disappoint in this area. It opens with a blast of Orange then develops into an incredible floral forward beauty. The orange blossom is the star of the show for sure. In all honesty, my only wish would be is smelling more depth from the woods and patchouli. If you love a citrus floral then this is definitely for you. Like always, Fragrance du Bois is a well blended high quality house.

The opening is very pleasant but when it dries down smells like those things in urinators. Also synthetic smelling even though every perfume has synthetics but in this perfumer they are very noticeable. Very overpriced $385 i think

The addition of the lily of the valley turns what could have been a very special fragrance into a loud, white floral, soapy mess that gives off granny vibes. Takes hours to get to the orange blossom in the dry down and it lacks the sweetness that is associated with the note. Also it has a screechy note, that comes off as bug spray upon first spray...and believe me when I say, "DO NOT OVERSPRAY!" Two sprays was more than enough for me to say, "what the hell?" Wild Orange simply lacks the quality and finesse that many other frags from this house possess.

Smells like oranges and celery. And they’re not even good oranges

It smells like an orange-scented urinal cake. Harsh, synthetic, and lasts for an eternity.

This beautiful citrus frag is delicieus, volopteus and rich. Absolutely the best mandarine orange perfume on the market. Through the musky ambery and floral structure the orange keeps on pushing the voice of the sun, Mediterranean luxery, joy and pleasure. The price? It's 335 Euros. Too much for my budget. So, what can you do? I suggest to check the Zara Sunrise on the Red Sand Dunes Intense. That one costs under 30 Euros and smells very orange delicious. More synthetic and much less class and quality. But very nice, summery and long lasting. But if you have the budget and you love orange perfumes, this one is an almost must buy.

All these comments about urine are complete nonsense, likely coming from competitors or people who have no appreciation for perfume. This fragrance is one of the most incredible, unique, and exclusive scents found in only a few select shops around the world. Don’t let these tasteless comments discourage you; jealousy can be a serious mental issue. I’ve experienced it myself, and it’s beyond amazing! It’s one of the best orange scents you’ll ever encounter. Try it for yourself, and you’ll understand exactly what I mean.

Nice orange scent that dries down very indolic before leveling out again to become pleasant. I noticed in the mid it got mossy and slightly smokey on my skin.
