Fleurs d'oranger Serge Lutens 1995

This perfume combines the scents I love: jasmine & orange blossom. The notes sounded so wonderful, so I ordered blind.

Full of enthusiasm, I sprayed it on and froze. It smelled like sweat. Yes, actually like sweet sweat. I was disappointed and thought to myself why do they make a perfume like this and why does it have such good reviews. But if there's one thing I've learned, it's that perfumes that smell rather unpleasant at first are the perfumes that you somehow like best afterwards. I tested it on my clothes and on my skin. That was yesterday and today I can still smell it strongly on my clothes.
This perfume will not appeal to everyone and is definitely not a light one. I totally like it now after letting it sit for a while. It's beautifully floral and the jasmine is ever present. It's not a typical jasmine scent. A little heavier and more sultry. I find it very classy and a little older. The sillage and longevity are excellent. I think it fits wonderfully in spring and fall. Very mature, noble and sublime. A woman who knows what she wants and likes to share her life experience.
