Old school scent with a hint of orange
This reminds me of a perfume that was available in Spain called Floyd, minus the orange. It is pleasant and has the usual manly backbone of notes and an initial burst of blood orange. Unfortunately it doesn't last on me and because of it smelling like Floyd, it reminds of old Spanish men sitting in a cheap bar perving at the ladies.

Neither different nor very inspiring
The slogan in the advertisment tells us that Von Eusersdorff produce "inspiringly different fragrances", but the line-up consists of five very traditional scents, all of them called "Classic". So we have "Classic Patchouli, Classic Myrrh, Classic Mimosa" etc. The person behind the brand is Camille Henfling, a desendant of the German Von Eusersdorff family, who were expert traders in rare essences and whose long-standing tradition Henfling aspires to rejuvenate. But does he manage to breathe new life into classic fragrances? I tested them all, but couldn't detect any modern twist let alone any new or surprising element in the fragrances Von Eusersdorff presented so far. "Classic Patchouli" is their best offering, yet there are so many other patchoulis out there that I can't quite see the point of yet another "dark patch" combined with vanilla and sandalwood.

But let's turn to "Classic Orange" now. "Classic Orange" is a composition which does what it promises on the label, i.e. you need to love the smell of blood orange in order to appreciate it. I don't get much of the suede leather or the Chinese osmanthus cited in the pyramide, which is a pity, because I love leathery accords and I love osmanthus. What I do get is a faint note of black tea and a lot of petitgrain, a fairly pleasant combo, but no world-shaker. The orange remains the dominant force in this scent, which stays linear on my skin. Considering the promise of "inspiringly different fragrances", I'm not impressed. - Please note that I'm no friend of monothematic orange-fragrances in general and that orange, neroli and everything centred around this aroma is one of my least favourite notes. Someone who likes orange might come to a completely different conclusion about "Classic Orange" than I did.

A bit darker than your typical citrus scent, I suppose on account of the petitgrain. I get the same vibes as from Profumum Roma's Orangea.

Bitter cough syrup sweetened with cough drop orange. For those who enjoy a medicinal approach to fruit.

After a nice start with orange zest, I mostly perceive petitgrain, relatively one-dimensional until the end... (a bit lacking for the price.)

Orange...Orange...Orange... and oh yes, did I mention the orange? Incredibly fruity, incredibly delicious, balanced and summery.

Not really the fresh orange scent, reminds me of orange ice cream and feels a bit artificial to me. I prefer it crisper...

Very authentic, subtly sweet orange blends with tea and light woody notes to create a grown-up summer fruit perfume. I really like it!

Pure summer feeling - swimming pool, sun on the skin, and licking a Capri ice - what a feel-good fragrance!

Juicy orange, not sour but also not sweet. Just refreshing and zesty. In the dry down, it gets a bit woody and darker.

Blood orange? Nonsense! Petitgrain bomb!
I feel like a koala in the wrong place, a bit confused, chewing on citrus leaves and unripe fruits.

Citrus blend start, nice-sharp-bitter? Petitgrain + citrus peels, aquatic. Becomes sweet like sorbet + sandalwood creamy + unpleasant note = room spray.
