Orient Treasure

7.9

Langé · 2015

Fresh · Citrus · Synthetic

Langé Orient Treasure is a woody, spicy fragrance for men built around leather, birch tar and oud, with a fresh touch of citrus lifting the dark core. The scent reads as a single piece from start to finish. Leather and birch tar set a smoky, animalic, earthy base, and oud adds resinous depth. Grapefruit zest lays a crisp, fresh citrus edge over this heavy mix, while the spicy and oriental sides stay in the background. Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, though summer and spring also draw a fair share of votes. It leans towards leisure and evening wear and can also work at the office. Most voters find it masculine. Montale Aoud Cuir d'Arabie and SweDoft Cambodian Oud have a close profile.

Opera in Paris

7.1

Langé · 2015

Floral · Sweet · Synthetic

Langé Opera in Paris is a floral, sweet and powdery women's scent built on jasmine and black rose, with wood and vanilla underneath; it suits autumn evenings best. The floral accord leads: jasmine and black rose meet a sweet line, vanilla softens the whole, and wood grounds it with a dry, slightly spicy base. The texture is powdery, with a faintly synthetic sheen. Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind. Evening is the most common choice, though daily wear and the office work too. It reads feminine and classic.

Love Elixir

7.1

Langé · 2015

Floral · Synthetic · Woody

Langé Love Elixir is a women's perfume built on a floral core wrapped in woody, powdery and resinous tones, with a faint smokiness. Rose and peony bud set the floral side, while precious woods and frankincense add a woody, resinous depth to that softness. The powdery and smoky tones stay in the background without hardening the whole, and a synthetic edge runs through the accords. Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn, with the other seasons close behind each other. Votes are spread across leisure, evening, business and daily wear, so it isn't tied to one setting. Black Oud Black Supreme and Mauboussin Cristal Oud have a close profile.

Eternal Gardenia

7.4

Langé · 2015

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Langé Eternal Gardenia is a fresh, floral and sweet women's scent led by gardenia and nectarine, softened by benzoin and patchouli. Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it leaves a trail that stays fairly close. Most voters pick spring, though the other seasons are worn about equally. Business, daily wear and leisure are the occasions named most often. Gardenia sits at the centre, with nectarine adding a fruity brightness. Benzoin brings a creamy, gourmand sweetness, and patchouli deepens it a little. The overall impression is clean, soft and floral. Zara 02 Crispy Gardenia and Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.

California Wave

7.5

Langé · 2015

Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

Langé California Wave is a fresh, aquatic men's fragrance, a fougère in which citrus and green tones lead and which sits close to everyday wear. It is built from oakmoss, rosemary, ozonic notes and vetiver. The ozonic notes and the aquatic accord bring coolness, while rosemary and the green side add a herbal lightness. Vetiver and oakmoss lay down a dry, woody base, and the spicy accord sharpens it slightly. There is a synthetic sheen to it as well. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters pick it most for daily wear, leisure and work, with sport not far behind. It is made for men. Coty Aspen for Men and Davidoff Cool Water have a close profile.

Glorius Day

8.0

Langé · 2015

Fresh · Citrus · Spicy

Langé Glorius Day is a fresh, citrusy men's fragrance with a woody, earthy core. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays noticeable on the skin without filling a room. Only a few people have rated it, so treat that as a rough guide. It suits those who want a light, clean everyday scent for men. Pink pepper and grapefruit zest give it a bright, lightly spicy feel. Cedarwood and vetiver lay a dry, woody and earthy base beneath. The citrus keeps it lively, while the wood and earth keep it calm and serious. Montale Vetiver Patchouli and Comptoir Sud Pacifique Vétyver Haïti have a close profile.
