Oriento

I've had the pleasure of using Oriento by Jeroboam, a fragrance that stands out for its versatility and enduring appeal. From the first spray, the scent captivates with its richness, yet it's subtle enough not to overwhelm. One of the standout features of Oriento is its longevity; even hours after application, a gentle wave of its aroma is noticeable even at arm's length. This makes it an excellent choice for anyone looking for a scent that lasts throughout the day without the need for reapplication. Oriento is truly a unisex fragrance, appealing to a broad spectrum of preferences with its unique blend of scents that neither leans too masculine nor too feminine. This balance makes it suitable for anyone and for any occasion. Whether you're headed to a business meeting or a casual dinner, Oriento fits seamlessly. Another advantage is its adaptability to different seasons and times of the day. It works just as well on a cold winter morning as it does on a warm summer night, making it a versatile choice for your fragrance wardrobe. You don't need to switch between scents with the changing seasons if you have Oriento. Considering the longevity and the minimal amount needed per application, Oriento proves to be a valuable choice. I’m thoroughly convinced about its value and would not hesitate to purchase it again once my current bottle finishes. It’s a staple that promises and delivers, making it a worthwhile investment for anyone who appreciates fine fragrances.

One of my top 5 rose fragrances. The stand out notes are obviously the rose accord and the patchouli, but the rose is clearly the star of the show. Not at all soapy or bright. Maybe a bit jammy, but It’s a darker rose, extremely unisex. This fragrance is absolutely stunning. Longevity is great and projection is pretty good for awhile before mellowing down to a skin scent. I wonder if the extrait is necessary. I think I would prefer an eau de parfum for half the price, or better better performance for an extrait at this price, but it’s so beautiful that even at this price, I will always have a bottle in my collection. Just stunning.

Gorgeously opulent and compelling; even if it's not all that original, it's put together with great style from some detectably great ingredients. Very strong projection, sillage and longevity too. Tremendous poise mean it's beautifully well balanced, never "too much" even though it's so punchy, not too sweet, nuanced and classy all the way down. There's a deliciously almost-leather phase on my skin about 2-3 hours in which is worth the trip all on its own. BUT: a final twist: either the styrax or patchouli goes a little too bitter for comfort on me in the last few hours. Definitely worth a go for any dark-spicy-rose lovers.

I smelt this around a month ago in Harvey Nichols not expecting much as I had never heard of the brand jeroboam but honestly this is now one of my favourite fragrances because of its unique rose and spicyness in the dry down of this. This fragrance also has brilliant performance and is definitely going to be a future pickup. I also love the bottle design especially in the 30ml but also the price is bang on £95 for 30ml might seem a bit much but it is definitely worth the money Smell 9.5/10 Sillage 9.3/10 Longevity 9.3/10 How much i would pay. 30ml: £100

This is a very well made and balanced fruity rose with a slightly earthy saffron and refreshing lemon top notes as well as a slightly mentholated styrax it’s wakes up your senses. Then it becomes a rich slightly heady red rose with some slightly tart apple keeping the rose from becoming too cloying. Really love this. It is extrait strength so very strong and concentrated two spray max or it’s too much. Lovely modern yet rich rose for active people. Not spicy or oudy so it’s a very nice change.

Unique, elegant and perfectly unisex. The fruit and ylang ylang provide a unique addition to this saffron, rose, oud, patchouli combo. I get a dark, sensual rose with a juicy dry down. I find this scent intoxicating and get many compliments when I wear it. Rose + Oud is a fave combo of mine, and this blend takes the cake. Has quickly become my most reached for fragrance this winter

More of a spicy rose musk. Not getting oud. Doesn’t smell boring like a worn out rose oud that’s for sure. Y’all are crazy on that one. I know the marketing department even says that but nah. It’s great. Smells thick and wonderful. Reminds me of stuff but nothing smells just like it.

Jeroboan is the most underrated fragrance house in all of fragcom. This one smells just like the notes above. I like that you can purchase 30ml for a little over $100. You'll be blown away with this one. OSMEPerfumery carries this fragrance. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ youtu.be/ygU8Bq2eTgE

I was walking through Harrods back in 2018 when a lady approached me and said, “You should try this perfume since you love roses and oud.” And until now, I haven’t properly thanked her. Thank you, wherever you are, lady. My signature scent for the past few years

This is like eating a rose jam when you spray it initially. Just have two sprays coz it's too potent. The dry down of oriento is very similar to that of Tomford Noir de noir IMO. Don't blind buy it.

Yeah it might be typical (sweet jammy rose), but it's done really well and the ingredients are of quality; it's not awfully complex but still a better attempt than most western-oriental.

I have had Oriento for a good few weeks now, one of the three Jeroboam fragrances that I had requested from my friend. I have mostly experienced it indoors at home, and once on a quick grocery shop to test it out. Again, it is so oppressively hot today and I needed to pick up some fresh dill, so I sprayed a couple of squirts of Oriento and set off sweltering and melting in 30 degree inner city heat. Though it lasts on my skin and clothes for way over 24 hours, and it fills an entire room, following you around, I was not entirely sure how I felt about it. My friend had recommended me away from Oriento as too feminine, but it has to be the one out of all the Jeroboams I have tested that I immediately enjoyed and would consider wearing thanks to the obvious rose I could smell. I saw it as a pretty scent, a bright and sparkling rose in the opening with similarities to Ralp Lauren Romance, a scent that my sister used to wear in the summer ten years ago, followed by a more creamy rose in the dry down. Today, with a gentle breeze swirling around me as I left my flat, I could definitely smell powdery lemon. At the same time, out in the open air, I realised that it was saffron that I was detecting probably more intensely than the rose. I knew all this time that there was something I could not quite put my finger on. However, it is not a rich and complex, leathery saffron note, but more the floral and waxy type experienced when good quality Iranian saffron is still cold from being kept in the fridge. This is something that makes Oriento even more bright and playful when combined with the fruity notes. Within about 20-30 minutes, graceful, creamy sandalwood, ylang ylang, and musk envelop the rose to give it an overall milky, buttery softness. At first I was reminded of rose milkshake, but then I thought harder, and I realised that it is much closer to the north Indian winter street food 'Dowlat ki Chaat', a sweet delicacy made entirely of airy milk foam laced with rose and saffron. It is said to "warm up your heart as it melts in your mouth", and Oriento does manage to leave me with a sort of pure and child-like joy. Among the many deep, resinous, and warm oud-rose scents I own, I find Oriento to be very refreshing, an oriental Rose scent that I can actually wear in the summer, as it genuinely gives me a sense of cooling relief. Edit: Almost one year later and my partner has made it a firm favourite, using it so often that I will soon have to purchase a 100ml bottle.

Oriento has pretty much the quintessential middle eastern note blend of Rose, Patchouli, Saffron and Musk. You would have sniffed this combo of notes in many frags and brands ranging from Montale n Mancera to Tiziana Terenzi, MFK's Oud line, all the way upto Roja Dove. So nothing unexpected or mindblowingly original here. On the plus side, the quality of ingredients used is obviously top notch and being extrait concentration, performance is monstrous. I put on 2 sprays from a small 5 ml decant and it was too much. From a price to performance ratio, this is far better value for money than some of the other luxury niche brands I mentioned. I paid roughly about $15 for my 5 ml and even that is going to last me a long time. If you already have a lot of Middle eastern smelling frags and oils in your collection, this would be redundant but if you are looking to add just one or two high quality frags with these kind of middle eastern notes into your fragrance wardrobe, this is one of the best examples of the genre. Very Impressed.

Oriento opened with a powerful, effervescent, fruity rose and a tart green apple. With 2 sprays this projected for about 5-6 hours and remained mostly a skin scent for another 10 hours with occasional clouds of scent wafting off my hand here and there. It remained pretty linear overall with the only change I noticed being the bright opening notes falling back into the soft background as it dried down. This was my first wearing and I liked it—but not enough to buy a bottle at this point. This is strong and long-lasting on my skin which often eats up fragrances. I’ll easily get several more wearings out of this small decant.

It's a nice fragrance, but that's it...it's nice; the opening is strong and somewhat powerful, but after that it's just a nice blend of rose and patchouli. The rose is deep and sits atop the patchouli, I get slight cashmeran or something similar. I do get the sandalwood, but I don't get styrax or many of the other notes listed. It's a good fragrance, but—for me—it doesn't have the same impact that Vinina Muracciole's other works do. A nice modern take on a vintage perfume. I like it, I don't love it, but there is definitely people out there who will slay with this as their scent.

This one has a very generic and unimpressive opening. However, the real character comes to play during the dry down. While arguably there is nothing new here, this fragrance still manages to create a nice scent bubble at dry down with good longevity. It’s more soapy musky rose and I personally do not smell real oud. Overall pleasing and good 30ml bottle for travels. Shukran Habibi!

This really reminds me of fresh out of the package rose flavoured shisha. It's smells sweet and somehow sticky, with a little darkness. It's a pretty basic rose scent but the performance is fantastic.

Really like this one from jeroboam was given a free sample along with some others and this one really sticks out. Think ill need to pick up a full bottle soon.

open and breathy, light in character but still present. Sping

Unfortunately this is too redundant to be full bottle worthy. The opening starts off as a typical rose Oud but with a very tart lemon note, it kinda smells like preserved/pickled lemons with rose. This stage is 90% similar to Gold Rose Oud by Tiziana Terenzi. After about 30 minutes the lemon dissipates and it almost seems gourmand with a prominent caramel/praline feel. This stage reminds me of a ton of similar fragrances such as Oud Bouquet, Velvet Rose Oud, Oud Mood, Oud Silk Mood, Shaghaf Oud, etc. Out of all those I think it’s closest to Velvet Rose Oud from Jo Malone, but still very close to all of them. Unfortunately Oriento doesn’t stand out from this group in any way. I even find it a little underwhelming compared to the other. There’s simply no need for this one to exist, the genre is far too flooded with similar high quality fragrances.
