Fleurs de Lutens

I imagine that for simplicity's sake, Lutens put the names of three flowers, orange blossom, jasmine and tuberose on separate slips of paper and randomly pulled orange blossom out of a hat. Each heady note could be accused of upstaging a perfume, so combined, Fleurs d'Oranger should be the the maenad of the Lutens line. I won't deny that it's loud. But the floral notes here form a chorus, giving that implicit tension of cooperating yet trying to stand out.

These are the three flowers that are most commonly cited for having the white floral split personality. 'Pretty' might strike you first, but the menace isn't far behind. Orange blossom, then sweat. Jasmine, then decay. And the Janus of gender, tuberose. Gina Lollobrigida on one side, stereotypical auto-mechanic with a gasoline can on the other. The honeyed cedar provides a firm base and the dusting of cumin works hand-in-glove with orange blossom, giving it the bump it needed to win the tri-floral slugfest. As for the cedar, a note that makes me instantly cautious (Iso E Super), think more of the cedar of Cedre than Feminite du Bois. I can happily say that it's neither radiant nor transparent.

Fd'O is definitively a floral/woody perfume. It's not a floriental, and, despite the name, it's not a soliflor. It's a swaggering fragrance. Women who love big but composed perfumes, dive in. For men contemplating the plunge, think of it as a ballsy floral. For all others, try it along with whatever gender you wear and see what you find.

An Opulent White Floral

If I had to commit to just three perfume houses for life, Serge Lutens would claim a permanent spot on that sacred list—right alongside Guerlain and Hermès. I’ve never met a Lutens fragrance I didn’t love, and this one? This one blows my mind every single time I wear it.

The opening hits hard—like a jasmine-charged slap to the senses. It’s bold, indolic, and unmistakably Jasmine Sambac Absolute (even if only a hint, thanks to IFRA’s strict limit). Backed by a symphony of jasmine-like aroma chemicals—fruity Benzyl Acetate, green-celery cis-jasmone, waxy Hexyl Cinnamaldehyde, and a dash of Indole—it’s a rich, animalic bouquet that captures jasmine in its most primal form.

Then comes the zesty uplift: a green-tinted shimmer from petitgrain and lemon peel, followed by a radiant burst of Neroli, dressed in orange crystals and sweetened with Methyl Anthranilate. It’s like tangerine soda for the senses—giddy, nostalgic, and utterly addicting.

The heart blooms into a creamy white floral fantasy: Florol’s rosy softness dances with the sweet-green brightness of Hydroxycitronellal, conjuring a classic Muguet accord with a thoroughly modern twist. Layered beneath is a whisper of Tuberose absolute—punctuated by just enough Eugenol spice to keep it interesting.

As the scent settles, the base radiates with airy Hedione, woodsy Iso E Super, and a layered musk accord that’s both clean and carnal. Ambrettolide adds fruity warmth, Galaxolide lends its sweet, freshly laundered linen allure, and perhaps there's a secret flicker of animalic nuance from Muscone peeking through. It’s diffusive, and persistent—never shouting, always smoldering.

Yes, the current black-label formula doesn’t linger like it might’ve in its glory days (3–4 hours max on my skin, though it clings to fabric much longer), and you can feel whispers of what it once was—bigger, richer, wilder. I’ll be on the hunt for a vintage bottle, no doubt. But even now? This fragrance remains a stunning interpretation of white florals in true Lutens-Sheldrake style.

If you adore jasmine or orange blossom, don’t even hesitate. This is lush, luminous perfumery—audacious, romantic, and utterly spellbinding.

10/10

P.s: After spending a lot of time with aroma chemicals - smelling them repeatedly and building accords - this is how I read a perfume in my head these days. Once you get used to the various components it seems really difficult to miss them in a blend. Sometimes I don't understand anything in a blend though. But at other times I smell so many things that are not even mentioned in the pyramid. It's a beautiful feeling - the clarity to be able to distinguish individual components in a blend. I love perfume!

Drop dead gorgeous!

Without a doubt one of the most beautiful smells I've come across! It's clean and dirty and lush and pretty all at the same time! So aromatic and indolic and honey-sweet. I think this is a perfume which needs to be experienced. Words alone cannot do it justice.

First of all, it's strong, but not strong in a synthetic way. It's more like the strongest smelling natural flowers I can think of. The name itself is somewhat misleading as Fleurs d'Oranger means "Orange Blossom" and the orange blossom itself is only half the story here. Instead we also have a highly indolic, beautiful and heady sambac jasmine note, which works with the orange blossom to give incredible floral and sensual depth to the perfume. Another huge player here is tuberose... and what a flower that is! It's a rich, creamy, slightly green & tropical flower that really brings the party to this perfume! But it's not too overdone. It's totally wearable as it's more of a sultry, soft honeyed floral (but very deep).

I think this one is similar to Serge Lutens' A la Nuit, which was a huge lush, green, honey sweet indolic jasmine. Here it is a combination between the three white flowers of jasmine, tuberose and orange blossom... with some spice (mainly cumin) to make it a little more sultry/sexy. To me the cumin doesn't come across as sweaty or anything like that, on my skin it's still a very clean floral. I think orange blossom (especially neroli) has a tendency to be soapy clean, as it is a common ingredient in most soaps. But here the other lush & heady white florals, as well as the spices and rose, really serve to make it very sensual and full of character. In a word, on me this smells absolutely divine! If you appreciate fine perfume and beautiful floral smells (especially tuberose and jasmine), then please do try this out. For me it's an absolute love. But try it on your skin first!

Steroided orange-tree blossoms

Fleurs d´Oranger is a fragance i come back now and then. I don´t wear it very often, but i like to have it at hand, when i need to cover my need of orange-tree blossom. This flowers normally would remind me to spring, but in Fleurs d´Oranger there is a richness that make them suitable for cold dry weather too, just like today.

Fleurs d´Oranger spins around orange tree blossom, obviously, but the addition of other floral notes to exagerate the different nuances of this oily blossoms makes me get lost in them sometimes, specially jasmin and tuberose. After i always return to the main orange flower, but my point is that there is much more than it. The jasmin is indolic, and the tuberose is creamy and dusty here; there are touches of a very honeyed rose, too, and, remarkably, a generous dose of medicinal nutmeg that even intensifies the cloying, almost sickening effect of the flowers. And please, don´t read sickening as it is a bad thing.

This is a strong warm dry whirlwind of petals at full speed, with good sillage.

The drydown includes the persistent orange tree blossom and tuberose, true bases of this fragance; and the cumin is then fully noticeable with its raunchy, animal scent, that, call me a kink, i find sexy with the white flowers. Armpit is only a bad scent depending on whose armpit is.

To sum up, it is VERY floral, but not clean or delicate; spicy, excessive and a bit testosteronic as the fragance develops. Another favourite Lutens /Sheldrake to keep.

Big White

Don't be fooled by the name. This is not the fresh soliflor it may suggest. Much more, this is a white floral composition. I mean a BIG white floral. The scent, the sillage, everything is as big and bold as a white floral can get. Not for the introverts or the insecure.

Despite the grotesque jasmine and tuberose, the composition feels round and well-balanced with spice and a musky-woody undertone. And oh yeah, there is indeed some orange blossom to be found, particularly in the third hour onward. Freshly picked white petals in all sizes and shapes.

A big white YES from me!
