Ruban d'Orange

This was a huge love of mine during 2006 and 2007. The mouth-watering citrus, combined with creamy tonka bean, and warm, soft cedar was incredible. I've never found anything else that smells quite like this. I was living in hot, humid Osaka at the time and it was fresh enough for sweltering sticky weather and warm enough for a pick me up in the colder months. It really was perfectly unisex and smelled equally delicious on men or women. Longevity was decent but improved when worn in combination with the body lotion. I never got any compliments when I wore it, but I don't care because it was uplifting and made me so incredibly happy. Wish it were still around. *sigh*

Refreshing aroma of fresh oranges in winter morning, later more like a woody scent, even a bit creamy. On my skin felt quite a long time. Ruban d'Orange is optimistic, unusual composition of selected fragrant substances, particularly feels vetiver. In my oppinion this is more citrus-aromatic fragrance, or woody aromatic, thanks to strong woody base notes. Ruban has the strength of classical Edt what were once long ago produced. It's not a synthetic fragrance, works quite natural and relaxing.

Discovered a half used bottle hidden on a shelf It must be 10 yrs or older The spray nozzle is no longer functioning Thankful that it has a screw cap and managed to open it after several tries The EDT is still beautiful..fresh citrus opening with a creamy dry down comforting, personal, makes one feel huggable I am so lucky..:)

I get the bitter orange note in this which I really like. Much like the verbena version, it is perfect for a summers day or when you just don't want something heavy. A definite mood lifter.

I am not partial to citrus notes, and I often detest them the moment they touch my skin, but orange seems to be a different story. Orange smells beautiful on my skin, especially when mixed with spices or woods. Ruban d'Orange, even though it's on the subtle side of things, is such a beautiful composition. The orange accord is rounded and smooth, further complimented by salty vetiver and green fir. It's the perfect example of a unisex fragrance that suits both sexes equally. The orangey scent is quite natural when compared to the actual fruit. The only negative thing I have to say in regards to Ruban d'Orange, is that I wish it projected stronger on the skin. I want to feel surrounded by this scent, but it's far too subtle to be enjoyed by everyone. However, its subtlety does work well in hot weather, as it never becomes too overwhelming in the heat. Ruban d'Orange lifts my mood, but it also comforts me with its golden, citrusy warmth. I am really quite captivated by this little, simplistic fragrance. It's such a shame that it was discontinued so soon after its release. I'm actually rather curious to try and track down the matching bath and body products that match this fragrance as it may help boost its sillage.

I absolutely love all of this line of fragrance except the perfume. This is truly unfortuneate as I was really hoping I would love it as much as the rest. I had a hard time finding as it was not available for a while. The fragrance has all of the same scent ingrediants as the rest of the line, except it has a strong and very long lasting accord of Vetiver, which I very much dislike. The Vetiver glues to your skin and clothing and does not disappear. I continued to smell the Vetiver (and only the Vetiver) from the day I put it on until the next when I showered. It is really too bad as the other products smell so delicious.

Candied orange peels and neroli are what I mostly smell initially in L'Occitane en Provence RUBAN D'ORANGE, a cheerful fragrance perfect for warmer weather. Coincidentally we are experiencing an unseasonably high temperature in Boston today: 62F, so this fragrance is perfect. Pleasant and slightly sweet with an orange-tinged cedar and vetiver drydown, RUBAN D'ORANGE is a must-sniff for orange lovers, men and women alike. Light and refreshing with medium sillage and acceptable longevity for this type of scent = simple, casual, cologne=y, and natural.

Ruban d`Orange is indeed bitter, fresh and citrus scent. From the bottle appearance and the color of perfume to essences poured inside everything indicates that this is orange juice. Vetiver adds extra sourness and cold pulsation. I loved this one after applying on skin, Ruban d`Orange is above all natural. After a while it changed into woody scent with pronounced cedar and fir. It became more masculine than I could handle. Another drawback is to short staying power.

Carefully blended notes of lemon and cedar brought me a compliment from a French guy today :) Fun, but I don't think the perfume is a groundbreaker, nor is it a love. It's a nice daytime Summer fragrance, safe for office, natural feel, skin scent. If someone gives me a bottle, I'll use it, but won't go out for my own.

It softens up nicely but I'm not a big citrus fan and this has some of the typical L'Occitane base, which again is okay but not exciting to me. Longevity seems good and it's natural smelling. I've got about 50 ml remaining so I'll likely put it on my swap list so that someone who really wants it might get it.

I've just tried this fragance from L`Occitane and find it sweeter than Miel & Citron, milder but with the same citrus spirit. The drydown is a little bit masculine though. I find it would suit my husband better because it would be a fresh scent on him.

Got mine for 25 euros in sale, so so so nice! So fresh, clean and allways remenbered me my homeland. can ́t find it those days, one of best fragances out there. Don ́t really last long time but i don ́t care.

Had this in my late teens and loved it, but can't find it any more! The closest I have been able to find is CK In2U Her, but it's not quite the same... :(

Wonderful smell of fresh oranges. The lasting is ok and it ́s not a sweet fragrance.

Does anybody knows which perfume is the closest to this one?
