Totem Orange

Silly 80's Revived (Nathalie Gracia-Cetto & Olivier Pescheux, 2015) Bottle Design: Nendo Scentrack: Taylor Dayne - Tell It To My Heart In my opinion the best from the Totem line. Pure, original, unrestrained 80's in the bottle. Absolutely energetic to the limit. Vivid explosion of synthetic kitsch. Orange, mango, apricot, tropical-flavored chewing gum. A hybrid entity between fragrance and shower gel, for urban tribe. Unreal fragrance time machine. Yes I confess, I really like this silly perfume. Rating: 7/10

Orange Totem is a Kenzo "ZESTY" approach to what should be an ultra-fresh scent with a Hermes vibe somewhere between Terre and Jardin en Mediterranée. It opens very strong with bitter orange followed by vetiver. And then ... slowly the orange disappears and the vetiver doesn't stay much longer either. A short, mild drydown is left with some wood and residual vetiver. Advisable only for those who don't care about fast use perfumes. But for those who like a good blending of bitter orange and vetiver, the first half hour is great and attracts a lot of attention. Helas the flask is somewhat strange to say the least.

I like it. It's a fruity and woody fragrance. Quite masculine as it is unisex scent. But still, masculine in a nice way. The only downside is, it's too ordinary. Nice, but that's it. No x factor. But it's good and worth a try. Nice everyday scent. :)

I mean it's fine, it's just a little too pungently sour.

Tested this on skin today: Opens with a lovely bitter orange. Soon this note is joined by sweet floral notes. It is warm and a bit creamy. Then, the bitter orange starts to fade away and the woody notes appear in the shape of iso-e-super. The drydown is a sweet iso-e-super with white floral notes on top. Sillage is moderate, longevity moderate. The opening is lovely, a warm citrus and bitter orange, absolutely awesome. For the first two hours it reminded me of Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria line, especially the texture of the scent in combination with the happy floral notes. The drydown however contains too much iso-e-super for my taste. I don't get any vetiver at all. It is a light scent, fit for summer I think.

I clumsily spilled the tester packet all over my arms and immediately regretted my decision - this fragrance does not agree with my skin chemistry. The orange went from plain bitter and mostly pleasant to the kind of rotten bittersweetness that you'd smell with oranges in a household waste bin left in the summer sun. A smell that mainly attracts fruit flies, quite the opposite of fresh.

A gourmand-ish take on citrus. If you come here looking for something realistic, look elsewhere. This is creamy, a bit juicy, some sourness that makes your mouth pucker, and with a touch of sweetness too. Sometimes it smells like a ripen mango on my skin. Have had it for more than a year now but I still cant decide if I hate it or not. Oh well!

Sweet,fizzy orangey citruses.energetic and unique and definitely unisex. Smells like vitamin c pills to me رایحه جالبی داره اما هنوز تصمیم نگرفتم بعنوان عطر دوسش دارم یا ن اول حس کردم بوی پرتقال میده ک بهش نمک زده باشیم قبل خوردن،بعد حس کردم بوی ویتامین ث های جوشان رو میده

I think this is a very safe perfume for many occasions: it is fresh but also energy boosting. I wore it to my graduation ceremony, at work, and on my boyfriend's birthday... It is never getting dull, and my boyfriend loves it when I wear it ;)

I don't understand all these negative votes, I find this to be a wonderful sweet & creamy citrus fragrance. Like orange and vanilla cream, very delicious! Refreshing and gourmand smelling to my nose. Really lovely! ♥♥♥♥

A slightly candied citrus that is very linear with a little powder added in the drydown. It shares some of the Y2K abstract gourmand characters but a lot simplier. Uplifting & easy going. Nice one.

I smell the bottle cap, love the dry down it's warm and spicy. But got disappointed when tested it on a paper strip, opening and middle is typical citrus thus nothing special.

Lemon and fig are quite dominante, personally I think it is definitely toward masculine. The dry down is very beautiful. A young and alluring scent with high energy

It's fresh, it's sweet, it's unisex. But it comes in a much better smell and longevity compared to CK2, which is also fruity and unisex. Recommended!

extremely cool bottle + packaging design.. flat and boring scents though.
