Orient Treasure

Hahahaha... poor skhbilgrami! You win some, you lose some - and in skhbilgrami‘s case, he lost £16.99. In context, Orient Treasure has been discounted down from something like £70 in TK Maxx. Me? I love this perfume. Really high quality - the citrus is rather fine and bold, and the woods deep and edgy. The smokey birch is outstanding, I think, because it contrasts so nicely with the grapefruit. Just a terrific perfume that lasts and is very satisfying. I wear this quite a bit - which is saying something - and as a result, my bottle is going down quite quickly - I may need to get a back-up.

I agreed with the TdH comparison because it is apparent but please don’t make the mistake of thinking it’s a clone or in any way completely identical because it isn’t. The citrus is sharper opening with a positive grapefruit rather than orange, the earthy woods is supplied by a powerful, balsamic, oud note which is quite clean and somehow similar to the vetiver of the Hermes. This fragrance is clean, of decent quality and has superb performance with the citrus lasting a long time. I blind bought it a few years back and I’m still impressed by it.

Anyone comparing this to TDH must see the doctor very quickly. This is a oud / leather / birch combo with a nice fresh grapefruit injection. Very special smell for special occasions. Good performance also. Well done!

At the lowest point in my life I found myself in a TK Maxx minutes before closing browsing the perfumes. I was sad and had no self respect so I bought this perfume. I was so excited about my purchase that I cracked it open in the nearest bus stop. I felt emotion for the first time in a year. This fragrance had saved my life. Don’t get me wrong, it smells like piss. But that isn’t the point. The point is that this fragrance taught me that no matter how bleak life looks, it can always get worse. The only spark of emotion I’d felt in over a year was immediately quenched when I took a whiff from that bottle. Quenched! The pungent aroma of stale, solid piss crust caked onto a cheap and absorbent plywood toilet seat in a dilapidated, rancid old pub bukkaked my nostrils with the olfactory runoff that might spew from a buggered old bastard’s toxic sack. Tldr; atomiser leaks, smells like piss, buy immediately

Hi, I also bought it a blind moment. :D As others said it before, the grapefruit makes this EDP(?) very bright, uplifting. But the best part of it is the smoke that makes it sexy and seductive, and that smoke mixing with the grapefruit is just delicious. It does not perform well in cold weather so it definitely is a summer scent. In heat it makes me feel like a fruit basket that someone set on fire :D I would change the name to "Citrus on Fire" or...."Ashes of a Grapefruit". Also it is totally unisex frag. But to me every frag is unisex. I am not really sure if they should label it as a EDP... Scent: 10/10 Longevity: 3-4 hours Sillage: Moderate. Overall: 7/10
