d'Orsay Flower Lust is a sweet, woody unisex fragrance that links a spicy opening of black pepper and pink pepper to the creamy florals of orange blossom and ylang-ylang.

The two peppers lead at the start, while orange blossom and ylang-ylang bring a soft floral heart. In the base, benzoin, tonka bean absolute, New Caledonian sandalwood and patchouli settle the scent into a sweet, creamy, woody foundation.
Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and favour night-out and evening wear. Modern and feminine are the most common character votes, though a good share also read it as masculine. Xerjoff 400 and Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Gold have a close profile.
