Oriental Lace

When I first met Oscar de la renta oriental lace in hiland mall,I didn't pay much attention.it was unfamiliar(Oscar de la renta isn't a well-known brand where I live)and I had lots of other things to try in my testlist.but when I returned home and checked it on fragrantica I was surprised to see it's note's list.cacao,honey and almond are among my most favorite notes and recently I'm growing to like patchouli,at least in sweet fragrances.oriental lace seemed to be right up my alley and I was so angry with myself because of passing it easily,specially because it was heavily discounted(100 ml bottle less than 75$!!! while it's before-discount price was more than 100$)I never stopped thinking and dreaming,also talking about it and I was looking forward to the day that my friend wanted to go back there and buy a bottle for herself,so I could borrow a sniff and decide about it But before all these happen,my hubby surprised me with a bottle of oriental lace.I couldn't remember the scent so I didn't know I'd really like it or not.it's packaging and bottle is very high quality and expensive looking.opening blast is sharp and kind of wierd,maybe due to medicinal patchouli,it made me to think of TM angel for a second but it doesn't take much time to settle down to a gorgeous honey-cacao combo which is to die for.it's not a simple combination of patchouli,honey and cacao as in forexample lady million prive.there's a soft,powdery flowery thing with a hint of fruity naunces,something very new to my nose that shines through cacao and honeyed patchouli darkness and makes the overall scent very unique,elegant and softly feminine.I know wax plant responsible for this beauty As time passes I can pick up almond but it's not strong enough to make it very powdery or dry so if you're not much of an almond lover don't worry If you like these notes you're gonna love this fragrance for sure.all the notes appear in their best forms.very well blended and none of them overpowers the other ones and the result is this heavenly gorgeous,magical scent Oriental lace is sweet but with a pleasant bitterish edge of patchouli,almond and cacao that balance the sweetness and prevent it from becoming a syrupy overwly sweet honey perfume.oriental lace is a modern gourmand but with classic oriental sophistication.it's unique and easy to wear and easy to like at the same time.I'm very happy to have it and can't stop smelling myself.I'd love to bath in it but I decided to save it for special occasions and nights out.I believe it's a cold weather perfume and it shows it's best in cool temperature.it's wearable in day but I'd prefer it for evenings and nights.I can't tell about it's longevity yet but sillage isn't weak while it's not invasive either.it stays soft while I can enjoy catching it's delicious whiffs after three hours of application If you're looking for a niche like and very high quality gourmand with an oriental twist don't miss it.it's lovely,sexy and beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤ P.s:Longevity is about 5 hours on my skin.sillage is heavy at first half an hour then becomes moderate یه عطر بی نظیر اورینتال لیس تلفیق یه گورمند مدرن و یه اورینتال کلاسیکه.. درصورتیکه به نت های لیست شده علاقه مند هستید بهیچوجه از دست ندینش. تمام نت ها تو زیباترین شکل شون ظاهر شدن و به زیبایی باهم میکس شدن بدون اینکه هیچ کدوم بر بقیه سایه بندازه شروع عطر شارپ و یجورایی عجیبه و.یه آن منو یاد انجل انداخت اما فقط برای چند ثانیه.خیلی زود با اضافه شدن عسل و کاکائو شارپ پچولی کمتر حس میشه.اورینتال لیس یه ترکیب ساده از عسل و پچولی و کاکائو نیست...یه نت سافت پودری گلی هم حضور داره که عطر رو خاصتر،دوست داشتنی تر و خانومانه میکنه و من گل وکس پلنت رو مسوول این زیبایی می دونم بعد از چند دقیقه، بادوم هم قابل ردیابی میشه اما اینقدر قوی نیست که فضای عطر رو زیادی پودری کنه و اگه خیلی بادوم دوست نیستید نیازی به نگرانی ن اورینتال لیس شیرین هستش اما رگه هایی از تلخی دلپذیر پچولی و کاکائو و بادام، شیرینیش رو بالانس میکنه و مانع از این میشن که یه عطر چسبناک و.زیادی عسلی بوجود بیاد.هرچی زمان میگذره هم شیرینی این عطر ملایمتر میشه و هم رایحه کلی لطیفتر خانومانه تر و زیباتر میشه بنظر من اورینتال لیس خودشو تو آب و هوای خنک بهتر نشون میده و هرچند بعنوان عطر روزانه قابل استفاده ست اما جون میده برای عصر و شب و بهتره در موقعیت های خاص استفاده بشه هرچند قابلیت تبدیل شدن به عطر امضا رو هم داره.راجع به ماندگاریش فعلاً نمیتونم نظر بدم.پخشش تو.ساعت اول خوبه بدون اینکه تهاجمی باشه هرچند سافت حس میشه اما شمیم دوست داشتنی اون هراز چندانی به مشام میرسه و درکل عطر ضعیفی نیست اگه بدنبال یه عطر اورینتال خوشمزه نیش مانند با کیفیت بالا هستید این معجون جذاب و جادویی رو از دست ندید شیشه و جعبه عطر هم دقیقاً مثل رایحه،خیلی شیک هستن و گرون قیمت بنظر میان

I've already reviewed this one but I believe it's the time to write a second one Oriental Lace isn't complex and is pretty linear on me but not bland and I don't have anything that smells similar to this one.unlike my first tests I don't find it a dark scent by any means.honey is definitely there but it's not a heavy syrupy or animalic honey note.I also find it's patchouli very subtle and inoffensive now,almost non-existent.actually cacao and vanilla(though not listed) are more prominent on me and there's some floral scent as one of the main stars,a super pretty one,and I believe there should have been powdery notes in it's pyramid. Oriental Lace is soft,feminine,slightly powdery,not a heavy or classic oriental and has very obvious gourmand traces,but while being yummy and sweet it's very easy to wear, while being simple it's memorable,even addictive and smells expensive.it's truely pretty and I love it.what I also like about it is it's sillage and projection.it's one of the rare perfumes I can actually smell on myself even after three hours as I walk in street,I can almost see it surrounding me like a cuddly,fluffy cloud.it doesn't project more than arm length but it's impossible for the people standing close enough to not notice it.it charms everyone and every single time I use it I receive complements.people really try to stay close and enhale it deeply as if they can't get enough of it and it has happened numerous times that total strangers couldn't help asking it's name.I have never had such a crowd pleaser and it seems to be memorable too as my mom and friends can recognize it each time I wear it while they can't usually recognize most of my other perfumes It's definitely among my top favourites.it's even signature worthy.the sad part of the story is that I know I can't repurchase it as it's very very rare.if it was widely available I'd even wear it before sleep but now I know that whenever I go through my 100mil bottle it's gone for good.if you come across this beauty babe don't miss the opportunity to buy it specially if you like sweet,soft powdery,not cloying feminine perfumes

Sensual, enigmatic, haunting. The first blast hits me with strong, medicinal patchouli and there is something that gives honey a bitter taste. Almonds, maybe? Spiciness from cloves is also very detectable. The opening phase is definitely oriental, but without "lace". I wait for twenty minutes. The scent morphs into the most hypnotizing note of beeswax. Patchouli is still there, so it never gets too sweet. I start dreaming about Southern summer nights... I’m wearing golden sandals and black provocative dress on a perfectly tanned body. There is no need for smokey eyes – the scent I’m wearing is already quite expressive. An hour later, the dream becomes reality. The honey suddenly unfolds with the most beautiful olibanum note I’ve ever smelt. Cloves are gone for good. Now this is a warm, enveloping scent to soothe the senses. I finally get where the word “lace” came from. From the notes listed above, you could expect an ultimate gourmand (maybe even foody) blend. I’m not a gourmand lover. Fortunately for me, the dry down is almost incense-y, so the sweetness here is perfectly tolerable. Wear it when you crave the Sun’s heat on your skin. This is a pyramid according to the official website: Fragrance Notes: • Top: Cloves, Freesia Petals, Dominican Bitter Almond • Heart: Laos Beeswax, Dominican Honey,Dominican Hoya Carnosa • Base: Indonesian Patchouli, Vetiver, Cocoa Absolute, Olibanum

WOW! This fragrance is amazing. All honey, hoya and cacao on me. Very feminine and definitely a gourmand fragrance. Looking at the notes you might imagine it to be heavy or cloyingly sweet but it isnt at all. The patchouli is subtle like the almond. I have sniffed hundreds of fragrances over many years and I've never smelt anything quite like this. There is almost a sweet sandalwood effect. The presentation is gorgeous. It looks very designer and it smells expensive and inviting This is definitely going straight up into my top 10.

I love this. I want this. Two proper testings and I am sold. It may not be one of Oscar's most memorable fragrances, but to me it has a Guerlain character. Not in fortitude, of course (silage moderate at best, longevity 3 hours), but in the high quality, all-consuming yumminess that is characteristic of so many Guerlains. Bordering gourmand. It is a -eat your wrist - whoops it's a perfume- kind of perfume. It is all sugary almonds, without the toothache, and the huge hole in your wallet. Delectable!
