CreamyWhat does Orontes smell like?
Apricot, peach and mugwort lead the top; cashmeran, jasmine and violet soften the fruity sweetness in the heart. Amber, tonka bean, vanilla, patchouli and musk settle in the base. The accords are sweet, spicy and woody, with a powdery, creamy, resinous warmth.
Longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick winter and fall, with spring next; evenings and nights out lead, while summer lags behind. It is worn as a unisex scent. Régine's Régine's and Câline Mon Amour have a close profile.
