Feu d'Orange Intense Eau de Toilette

I love all versions of orange and vetiver, this is a winner for me. I don't think L'O still do it so try the auction sites. This is lovely in its own right, also try it layered with Guerlain Acqua Allegoria Mandarin Basilic - delicious !!

I picked up Feu d'Orange Intense last summer. It's a perfect citrus scent. The blood orange is very deep and sexy. This version lasts longer on the skin than some past orange scents I have tried. It's a bit more complex as well.

I did a mistake: I sprayed just a drop of Feu d'Orange on my arm. It opened as blood oranges, very hot indeed, but in fifteen minutes it began to bitter. From bitter to worse I might say. At arriving home from the shop, I had some very very low tone of vetiver agressing me and impossible to wash off. All what was left of orange was some amaretto or the most bitter orange ever, a masculine scent of the old gentlemen.

First blast, intense blood orange. After 2 minutes, orange and spice. After 5 minutes, utterly revolting. Bitter, burnt spice, metallic and awfully cheap smelling scent. If it held the scent of the first four minutes, it would be a winner. I have a terrible fear of being stuck in a confined space with someone who has been wearing this an hour. I did try this on skin and spill, and found no discernable difference in it's progression. Tried Atelier Cologne Orange Sanguine, and let me tell you Oh Fragrant ones, it's a sharp poke in the eye with a sharp stick, do that stupid "oh, god that is so sharp" crumpled up sucking lemons face "top notch" blood orange. Oh my yes. The search for the perfect spicy orange frag already has a front runner in the shape of Atelier Cologne's Orange Sanguine. This will, of course, not be the case when Aqua Manda in it's original citrus and spice can can frock get's up from the floor and does her legendary thing, until then, I am not exactly filled with grief that Feu d'orange has been discontinued. It's just plain nasty. I think someone once cleaned my toilet with something from Australia that smelled just like this, and I never let her back in the house. L'Occitane has done so much better.

Sexy and irresistible summer coctail made of juicy blood orange mixed with elegant vetiver. It's quite delicious edition enriched with soft and gourmand vanilla. It's long lasting edition, sparkling and intoxicating. I adore to wear it on summer evenings. It is one of editions that really brings good mood. On my skin are stronger notes of vetiver, and bloody orange is in second plan, but on my husband skin is quite delicious, with very intensive and attractive juicy orange and gentle and elegant vetiver in the background. In both ways, perfect for hot summer night!
