Infusion de Fleur d'Oranger

Somehow I can understand the hate on Infusion De Fleur D'Oranger; simply: women's "ruined" taste on perfume. Not bashing anyone's taste. But, if you break it down, it leads there; women are so addicted to fruity cake-like perfumes that when they actually smell a real flower centered perfume they are appalled. Flower notes are used in gourmand perfumes too, sure, but they are not the center, and they barely stand in the background, not really present. So what I'm saying is that women, well at least of my generation, (I'm 25) cannot appreciate white flowers because they haven't learned them first place. Personally, balsamics is my thing but as it's sometimes unbearable to wear a balsamic thick juice in the summer, Infusion De Fluer D'Oranger is one option that I seriously consider. For some, it's soapy, for others it's a powdery mess, for me it's two things: for the first half of wear time it's the definition of the procedure of ironing sheets, the steam plus the laundry being ironed. For the second half of wear it is the walls of the ballet school I would attend from 4 years old until 7. Walls, corridors, barre, you name it, the scent was everywhere! Not just some specific flowers, but the whole blend, the combination. Maybe my dance teacher was wearing a similar blend or the room refreshers were alike; Do not care. It's a haunting scent. Not even remotely sweet, lightly citrusy and for just some minutes, clean, sour, bitter and slightly medicinal at times. Not groundbreaking by any means, but not your typical powder either. Soapy not in a hand-soap way, but totally detergent-like. Funny thing: I sprayed liberally on my skin, so I know if a fragrance works for me for sure, (no need for much from Infusion De Fluer D'Oranger) and after a fair amount of testing time (it lasted approximately six hours) I went to shower and specifically used a cherry scented soap in order to counteract the perfume notes. Not only wasn't the perfume washed off, but it was rather intensified. Can't wait for summer and wear it at the beach! A yes from me

To start .... it was a blind purchase for me without testing before or reading any comment . I had no time at that moment that I bought it , to make a research if this fit me or not . Being a fan of lnfusion d'lris just thought that I would like even this version . Personally l think now it was a little more than a pleasant surprise!!! The white flowers are what attract me more in perfumes and I like to reveal them in different variants . Recently, I was very overwhelmed by some of the heavy oriental fragrances l used . This discovery was for me as a rainbow after the rain , made me feel comfortable , clean and delicate at the same time without disconnecting from my favorite category of white flowers . Neroli and Orange flowers are making the opening in a subtle , delicate and very pleasant way . Tuberose comes to give this perfume a sense of depth in creamy way and not overhelming as usual is tuberose in most of the perfumes l have smelled. Jasmine is not sharp but just enough to give a sense of purity and soapy , the same feeling as you just come out of the shower and it lasts all day l am wearing it. For this reason I like it more than the original lnfusion d'lris because it is exactly what l want and in the same time is still on the original line of lnfusions variations ...powdery-soapy-soft-delicate. Another thing I was impressed is that this perfume works perfect with my chemistry and lasting power on my skin is amazing until the next day . l am very surprised readind that on others doesn't last . On my skin this version last more than lnfusion d'lris and is more noticable by me , l mean l can smell it all the day without putting my nose on the skin to sniff it. This is sensual, soft , feminine like skin scent but with moderate sillage . This is what makes me feel pure, clean , sexy with a touch of soft flowers in the precious moments ...

Didn’t expect it, but I’m in love! I was just looking for something fresh and light — the kind of scent that feels like clean skin after a warm shower — when the sales assistant handed me this. The pink bottle and first spray instantly made me think, nah, not my thing. But then I smelled it... and honestly, I couldn’t walk out without it. It’s soft, airy, like a breeze through white curtains on a slow morning. Smells a bit like those old-school bar soaps from childhood — the good kind — mixed with this quiet, sunny warmth that’s hard to put into words. Even though it leans slightly feminine, it still feels completely wearable for me as a cis masculine presenting guy. I’ve worn it a few times to work and got more compliments and curious “what are you wearing?” than ever before. It never screams, never offends, just floats around you gently, like you’ve got your life together. Sure, I wish it lasted more than half a day, but I don’t even mind reapplying. It just makes me feel calm, clean, a little bit glowy. It really works — for me, anyway. And I adore it.

Love this perfume! The scent is refreshing, beautiful and floral. I mainly smell the orange blossom and neroli and not much else which I don't mind because the combination of those two components make for one gorgeous smell. It is a day scent worn best in the spring or summer months. This will always be special because my husband got it for me for Valentines Day this year. ***Update***Just got the full bottle in the mail today and I almost returned it. It smelled too much like shampoo when I sprayed it on my clothes and I did not like it. I finally sprayed it on my skin and what a difference! On my skin, I could smell the orange blossom, neroli, jasmine and a little bit of the mandarin orange. So I am definitely going to keep it because it smelled great on my skin. I will just have to remember not to spray it on my clothes.

This was love from the first moment it hit my skin. As Infusion d'Iris was very sharp and sour, my hopes regarding Infusion de Fleur d'Oranger were extremely low. It did start a little sharp on my skin but unlike any other perfume I ever tried it melted onto me, leaving an addictive scent of freshness. The scent didn't change much even after a couple of hours out on a very hot and humid street. It weakened but only a little bit - so staying power is very good. I noticed it changes dramatically when it touches the skin. While on my skin it became quite sweet, my friends got a very sharp and somewhat unpleasant scent on theirs. I think it's a good choice of perfume for women who try to give out a "strong" vibe, rather than a "sexy" one. It's not sweet, not comforting nor sedvctive, but very clean, fresh and dry.
