Orazuli

Orazuli is a really lovely perfume. It's very classy and elegant, light, fresh and sophisticated. I don't really smell a lot of the florals in it but on me the lemon and almond are the predominant notes. It has very similar components to Joop Femme and I noticed some similarities immediately. Luckily though, the big difference is that in Orazuli everything works perfectly, but in Joop Femme, for me anyway, they don't work at all and I think Joop Femme is a really harsh, unpleasant perfume. To me it also bears some similarity to CK IN2U which is also lemony, a little sweet, fresh, clean and elegant smelling. I love both of them and both are ideal to wear anytime as I can't imagine that anyone would find them offensive in any way. I think they make ideal work perfumes for that reason and are light and fresh enough to carry you through the day easily. The lemon in Orazuli is softened by the vanilla and amber gives it warmth and depth. It has great staying power and lasts on my skin all day and night without the need to reapply and the longer it's on my skin the better it smells. I think it's great for any age group and has a timeless feel. Because of its freshness and crispness it would be a great perfume for the office, but it could be worn anytime, anywhere! Given how reasonably priced Orazuli is, it smells expensive! The bottle is really nice too. I'd give this a big 5 out of 5. VERY nice!

Very unusual fragrance for S.T.Dupont, and I LOOOOOOVE IT!!!! very unusual generally for the budget segment, on a strong side, with a certain character and statement. Mysterious lemony, chewy, washed by a strong night rain jasmine tree with crushed into powder almonds. As it is so not typical for the perfume-market, the friend of mine, who only buys niche and selectives was sure that it must be a niche fragrance as well. It is not...It is strange mysterious Orazuli. Actually not surprising - osmanthus is a rare bird in perfumes, also it is an expensive ingredient, even its artificial essence is not very common - but used for adding "fruity-leathery" feel and depth to the fragrance. I can imagine it could be signature scent, at least for myself, it could be love for life for someone or it could be too unusual to wear for others. In my collection Orazuli has its place for dark rainy days, when you just want to keep yourself to yourself, like a blossoming jasmine-tree under the heavy rain...Very philosophical, Japanese anime feel in it.

I have just begun exploring the S.T. Dupont line of fragrances and I have been missing some beauties. Orazuli is a striking and unique white floral. The osmanthus is the star, giving the scent a creamy, slightly indolic topnote. The almonds and lemon keep it from being too sweet and the musk gives it a nice animalic undertone that is really alluring and makes you want to keep coming back to this fragrance. I smell the jasmine bringing a few more indoles to the party, while the freesia acts as a freshener in the background. The neroli comes out mid-development giving the scent more of a fruity vibe along with the lemon but I do not smell any distinctive lily notes at all. The vanilla in the drydown makes the scent longlasting and warm feeling, but this is not a "safe" purely feminine fragrance. This baby has a sexy little tiger in her tank and I love that bit of sultry, making this definitely NOT your typical white floral. Orazuli is so much more. I'm getting a back up bottle of this while it's still available.

Orazuli struck me with its quality; refreshing and a little tangy but at the same time gently floral juice. It contains most of my beloved notes; osmanthus, neroli, almond, lemon, jasmine... Orazuli has never been advertised as much as other designer houses' fragrances, in fact, I have never known of its existence until recently - I purchased a bottle, then another one...and one more :-) Orazuli has great lasting power and silage - whenever I wear it my husbands keeps sniffing me stating that I smell so freshly feminine lol Orazuli will certainly appeal to refreshing juice lovers - to me it shares many characteristics with Kenzo Tigre, Euphoria Spring Temptation or Versace Bright Crystal. I think it will make a great companion during spring and summer months. Inoffensive, yet noticeable. Thumbs up!

It is a great perfume with a long lasting smell.... i put it on in the evening and woke up the next morning still smelling soft and gorgeous :) a MUST HAVE, as it is not cloying, overtly sweet scent. it is just right and heavily recommended for a first date :) overall an 8.5/10

To dina: "Orazuli" means gold and blue from Spanish "oro" - gold, golden and "azul" - blue. A very nice scent. Powdery and slightly sweet almond and vanilla with freesia and a hint of lemon and musk. Not overly sweet, not cloying at all, a perfect everyday elegant scent.

A very well blended floral. Original, long lasting, one of the best from Dupont and sadly discontinued. Rich but not overwhelming, classy but not stiff. A real pleasure.

Great for evening events, too bad it's discontinued. The osmanthus is wrapped in silver in this one. Gorgeous.

Ok, so here's the thing. The first spritz was a bit like 'whatever'.... Nice but unremarkable. I forgot about it completely and later on, at work, I asked a colleague what her gorgeous perfume was, I sniffed her neck, (like you do), and it was very nice, but not the perfume that I could smell. I was baffled until another colleague was asking me something and I thought, mmmm that's it!! It's him. He left and I could still smell wafts of this amazingly heavenly aroma. Duh!!! It was ME!!! What the .....? I can't believe that this £10 bottle of juice is so utterly delectable! How can this happen? Could it be those beautiful freesia florals in the top notes which head slowly towards a favourite of mine, osmanthus, it couldn't be jasmine because I can hardly smell it but maybe the gentleness of the lily-of-the-valley? I can't smell lemon but I can smell a faint waft of vanilla and even a smattering of patchouli, but it's not listed. If this baby were a niche or a Guerlain, it would be a small fortune. This perfume is a solitary journey for the wearer as it morphs into heavenly aroma after heavenly aroma and I imagine that it must smell different on everybody. Learning to appreciate a beautiful fragrance is like listening to a song. The first time it probably won't move you, but after hearing it many times, it grows like a flower until eventually you are hooked and every time you hear it you are transported to another place. This sums up Orazuli.

Although it was very affordable, I could place it on the shelf next to the grand French Classics , like Guerlain Mitsouko, Chanel Coco and Dior creations. I purchased it, sprayed on my scarf and felt that strong, floral, a bit masculine wave coming over me. I went out and the scent became softer, a bit powdery, hugging and "loving". I must say it was the time when everything around was blooming, everything was smelling so divine, and I felt myself in synergy with all that blooming world. Smells very expensive and classy. Four days ago at work I caught a whiff of an excellent floral delicious perfume with a hint of an expensive powder. I imagined one of my colleagues who corresponds this image, so I asked what was the name of the perfume. She said he wasn't wearing any perfume. I didn't believe. After some thinking, sniffing and analyzing, turned out that it was actually me and my Orazuli who had left behind this warm, classy trail.

Orazuli works best in very very HOT weather. In cool and cold weather, the osmanthus and bitter almond take over, imparting a dark, leathery intense bitterness. Even the tiny touch of citrus is bitter in the cold. I find Orazuli MUCH too bitter to wear in cooler weather. BUT in HOT weather, osmanthus sweetens with heat, blending beautifully with the other sweet floral notes. Heat tones down and tames the bitterness, as Orazuli becomes feminine, airy, with naturally sweet flowers. The musk is light and ethereal in its supporting role. The small amount of citrus is almost undetectable, put there only to add an airy feel to the light white musk. Orazuli is a beautiful perfume for the very hottest days, lasting 6 to 8 hours on skin. Projection is strong for the first hour, then becomes moderate. Unique and modern Orazuli could easily be an expensive niche fragrance. Sweet flowers, not candy sweet. Suitable for all ages, daytime wear.

From today, I am the proud owner of an Orazuli bottle, got it as a Christmas present from a very dear friend. Many others have already commented on the substanses and the bottle of this perfume. One thing is for sure, it's an expensive smelling, 'luxury', regal perfume. It reminds me of soliflor niche perfumes, it reminds me also of some Hermes perfumes. It's a rather mature scent but would suit a younger woman as well. It's a noticable perfume with a good sillage and longevity but it's not sexy by any means. Be careful, one and only pritz is enough, it can be overpowering. It brings to my mind a woman with long hair, in jeans and white shirt, with a sawl and sparkling long earrings. I really like it but I like much more Blance, again by Dupont (in fact I like that last one very very much).

An interesting scent! The very beginning reminded me of Miss Dior Cherie - sweet, sparkling, girly. Then the fragrance turned more floral and grown-up. For my nose, distinct osmanthus makes all perfumes smell somehow cold & luscious, and this is no exception. Loads of osmanthus, some green notes - green crisp almonds, a touch of citrus ... Quite special. For a woman who is a queen of the night, but still stays very feminine, benign, radiating with her inner glow. Somehow doesn't suit me, though. I think I prefer Nuit de Cellophane for the most beautiful osmanthus.

Such a beautiful representation of osmanthus. Orazuli is a deep floral. Osmanthus is obviously the star, but there is also a lovely jasmine in the mix. The bitter almond note adds a powdery effect and the tiniest hint of maraschino cherries. Very feminine, very classic. It reminds me somewhat of Givenchy's My Couture, but less cold, less austere. If you like Gucci Flora but found it somewhat flat, try Orazuli.

Well, I think I've found my signature fragrance! This one is SO wonderful - it's serious, little old-fashioned, long-lasting, very feminine floral fragrance. Strong, yes, but amazing. Reminds me of Rumeur by Lanvin, only 5 times stronger and longer lasting. Still feel it after 10 hours. Love, love, love this fragrance! And the price was just great, too.

Orazuli is indeed unisex. it isn t masculin at all, but it isn t feminine neither. it's just an incredible lovely and irrestible aroma of sweet lemonade, osmanthus, powdery white flowers floating on warm balmic almond and musky-vanilla trails. beautiful! utterly in love with it! sillage niiiice, staying power superbe! 24h later i can still smell it.

I don't get anything fruity from Orazuli. Just the almond and florals and a particular floral note that reminds me of daffodils. I wonder if this is osmanthus. It has a comfy musky dry down. Just a little bitter for my taste but kind of classy and inoffensive. I will use up the bottle but I would not buy again.

A subtle jasmine scent with a fruity hint. Light and short lasting. Not full bottle worthy IMO.

After being blown away by the number of praising reviews in here, took a shot at Orazuli, a blind one. First perfume from Dupont, probably the last too. Well, I for one, don't get the strong opening, nor the white flowers (loove jasmine and freesia, but where art thou?), let alone any trace of bitter almonds. Wafts of musk settled after a blast of alcoholic type of hairspray. Overall, it's like the interior of a hair salon in one's neighbourhood, an idefinite trace of musky-something flowery. The name is gorgeous though, I'll just stop here, too many words for something this bland. Stay discontinued. LE: the drydown is nice. Giving it another round of tries, now that I'm being stuck with it, might as well live with it. LE2: Nope, this is not going to work for me, gave it away.
