This is the strangest of all fragrances in my collection. I absolutely love it. There is something about the waxiness and body of the composition that has me obsessively sniffing the back of my hand. There is something familiar, comforting and nostalgic about this juice. I’ve truly never smelled anything else like this. This is quite obviously Melaka strongly feminine, but here I am as a cisgendered male soaking it up with a smile. I don’t know when I’ll ever wear it out but in the mean time I will be sitting in my studio banging on my drum machines and synthesizers smelling the back of my hand like an addict. Performance isn’t that great in both the projection and sillage department but I really don’t care. This is a real natural perfume and they are notoriously difficult to make perform without chemical additives and fixatives...I’m looking at you iso e super, I’m looking at you ambroxan. I really love what this maison is doing. All their releases are high art. Such a unique brand in a sea of copycat perfume companies and money grab rehashes of the same old shit wearing a different badge with different marketing. Ormaie 🙌

I’m genuinely in love with this perfume. I wish it wasn’t so expensive but you truly get what you pay for with this. The white floral is very pleasant, sweet and light. I will agree that the citrus combination is leaning more lemony with the bergamot than orange but it’s still a delightful scent in my opinion. I’d wear this everyday if I could but with the price of it, she will likely be stored for special occasions. I also only sprayed a single small spritz on my hoodie and I could smell it for days without pressing it to my nose.

Mind-blowing transformative fragrance. It moves through three phases: A bright citrus opening— a peppered bergamot, lemon, mandarin shot for a short period Next it blooms into several hours of white florals — creamy tuberose, orange blossom and rose. Finally it settles into a rich vanillic, woodsy skin-scent with traces of immortelle that lasts for ages. It's really a pleasure to wear and experience these masterful reveals over time. I can't think of many other fragrances that take the wearer on such a gorgeous journey. Bravo.

A fresh light sweet orange blossom fragrance. The citrus beginning is fresh and sweet, not at all what I was expecting but absolutely for the better. The florals blend gorgeously but orange blossom is the star. The vanilla is beautiful, the sandalwood oh so smooth. On dry down it has a delicious sherbet veil. Somewhere in between the sweet citrus and sherbet it reminds me of a soft Safanad. Yum yum yum and I’m in love ❤️

It’s beautiful. I love the jasmin, orange flower and vanilla combination. The immortele reminds me of Mediterranean spring and summer. It’s so elegant and classy, perfect for the warmer season.
