Smooth Sand Operator
I became aware of L'Oriental back then because I generally find oriental notes in perfumes very interesting, and I often enjoy wearing them.

I also tested "Attar Al Mohabba Male" by Rasasi, and even bought it, because it is a really great, somewhat more natural version of 1 Million, a version that can be worn without reminding one too much of that "disco bro" flair. This cheap commercial attitude that 1 Million definitely has in the top notes.

L'Oriental has little in common with 1 Million, but it still strongly reminds me of Attar Al Mohabba Male. Only L'Oriental comes across as a bit sweeter and slightly gourmand, while still retaining its naturalness better, or at least not coming off as plasticky like Paco Rabanne's protégé.

As a result, it is easy to wear and hardly annoying, although not very unique or standout. But it smells pleasant, to say even somewhat sensual. A delicate mainstream oriental for cuddling or simply for everyday wear, with which one can secretly celebrate their oriental preference without drawing unpleasant attention in public or making too much of a statement.

Longevity and projection are average, which ensures good dosability - not insignificant for a (semi) oriental.

Incense Rituals at Dawn
This L'Oriental caught my attention at Galeria Kaufhof. The blue test bottle, and finally the price.
But the best part is the scent.
Not a "brute" with thousands of solid cubic meters of wood and nothing else, but spicy, sacred, balanced, deeply fresh, and much more. Here’s what I can imagine in the fragrance pyramid:
Top: Bergamot, Lavender, Thyme
Heart: Carnation, Incense, Myrrh, Spices, Aquatic Notes
Base: Cedarwood, Vetiver, Moss, Incense.
The EdT starts off very cool, like a late autumn day at dawn, then becomes warmer and fuller.
Incense notes come into play and lead the spices.
It has an almost sacred quality, and clove rings the bells.
The base lets woods flash, establish themselves, and connect with vetiver and mosses. Here again, incense takes the lead.
By the way: In terms of longevity and sillage, "L'Oriental" far surpasses many more expensive fragrances and even outshines some EDPs. That says something...

This smells like a chef holding an apple pie while wearing Ultra Mâle, and smells lovely! An excellent affordable choice for a date night.

Synthetic uniformity, sweet, woody, and slightly resinous. Very unremarkable, but not really bad. For younger people going out.

Amazing scent! Noble sweetness and freshness at the same time. Smells truly irresistible. In the drydown, it has the best vanilla-like note of all fragrances.

Sweet like One Million, broken flowers from Fleur du Male, and a bit of lavender from Tomo! That's L Oriental, not bad but nothing new!

This stuff is really amazing, 10-12 hours of longevity with a pleasant strong sillage for 4-5 hours. DOES NOT SMELL LIKE TOMO! PLEASE NOTE!
