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.

Very helpful Review 9

From the Orange Sector I (sprayed and not dabbed)

Recently, I was strolling through Maastricht (without any specific intention to buy a fragrance) when I spotted a whole array of simple perfume bottles in the small window of a charming corner shop at Sint Amorsplein, all bearing straightforward names like "Classic Vetiver" and "Classic Patchouli." I was not familiar with the brand "von Eusersdorff," whose complete range was displayed here (the shop only carries this brand, as far as I could see, otherwise just jewelry); this New York label is probably less than 10 years old.

Curious, I stepped inside and was introduced to several scents by the exceptionally friendly, patient, and knowledgeable salesperson (apparently the owner, his customer friendliness was further demonstrated later when no significant complications arose) with "Classic Orange" capturing my interest from the start, as I generally enjoy citrus notes and particularly apple-like scents (an old friend of mine would say I am "from the orange sector," exaggerating the nasal tone and finding it quite amusing).

Upon spraying, an extra-fresh burst of mandarin immediately swirls around the olfactory senses; afterwards, the fragrance unfolds and develops more slowly and steadily. Of course, the orange is at the forefront and center, and it is beautifully rounded in its orange essence. However, against the summery-fresh-cool-orange, there is always something bright, warm, or even warming playing in the background; it is probably what some perfume enthusiasts associate with vanilla ice cream or sunscreen, and I also thought of almonds. If I had a finer nose, I would surely have perceived more than just the mere herbal and floral hints that I can unfortunately only report.

Faced with the choice of a 100 ml bottle for a rather hefty 125 euros and a 10 ml mini bottle for 25.50 euros, I initially opted for the smaller version, which, however, does not have a spray mechanism. Naively, I thought I would just go for "dabbed, not sprayed" like 007 and applied "Classic Orange" to my face and forearm with my fingertip for two days. However, this not only led to the complete disappearance of the amusing mandarin shock at the beginning but also resulted in a significantly altered overall scent impression that I found decidedly unfavorable. The orange drowns in this application form, little in the then overly dominant, let’s call it, vanilla sauce.

Back in my home city of Berlin, I went to Harry Lehmann and bought a 10 ml empty spray bottle (and took the opportunity to purchase an HL "Orange" for comparison; I might comment on that later), transferred the "von Eu" into the "HL" bottle (even the small label can be peeled off and transferred), and the much nicer spraying experience (including mandarin) was back.

If I don't give absolute top marks, it is for two reasons: First, I am not 100% happy with the interplay or contrast between the orange on one hand and the almond-vanilla-creamy base on the other. It is nice, but not perfect harmony. Second, and more significantly for me: The longevity and especially the sillage is, at least on my skin, an absolute letdown. My scarf still smelled of it after 24 hours, and my wife said she could still detect the perfume on me after 10 hours, but for me, even with generous application, it becomes very quiet after just 2 hours, and at most after 5 hours, the orange is gone.

But to not end on a negative note: Despite everything - a lovely orange scent!

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.
