Orange Flamingo Marc Gebauer 2021

A great, strong freshie with some floral notes combined, Orange Flamingo has a strong, as one might guess, orange opening. Rose is blended in nicely to set a different tone from most orange-citric fragrances I've tried — perhaps that's part of the distinct Flamingo DNA that is shared with the iris-heavy Purple Flamingo (which I admit I'm not fond of).

As the fragrance progresses, the rose comes forth a bit more. It's quite nice to smell, being pleasant and inoffensive.

Projection is nice and strong and I could smell it from a distance. However, this seemed to lack the "beast mode" performance that Orange Flamingo is praised by so many others for. Perhaps I was just unlucky, but I've tried wearing this in multiple scenarios (at work, while running, and while lounging around the house). This fragrance just didn't seem to last as long as expected.

Still a great and loud fragrance to freshen up the morning or spray on after a shower.

First of all I want to say the scent is really strong and you can pick it up a little bit even the next day after having worked out and showered.
But it's quite safe, not offensive, more on the feminine side.
To my nose in the dry down it's basically a fresh scent that is very soapy (like Acqua di Parma soapy, not Prada soapy) with a hint of clean laundry and reminds me of jasmine tea.
Quite natural, but still pretty strong. I get a little bit of sweetness, but less then Acqua di Gio Profumo for example.

Not mind blowing by any means, but definitely worth the money based on the ingredients and the concentration if you are looking for that kind of scent.
And by "that kind of scent" I am talking about a natural, fresh, soapy, clean laundry, jasmine tea, summer scent that has monster performance.

And I found that it's hard to find a long lasting natural fresh summer scent so I think in that regard it's well done.

It all started with a stay in a beautiful hotel in the Siebengebirge area in the West of Germany overlooking the mighty river Rhine. Among the hotel's allure was the genius idea to provide guests with soap and shower gel scented with Acqua di Parma's Colonia.
The beauty of that fresh and citrusy yet rich smell quickly pulled me deep down the rabbit hole of the world of perfumes. Then, like many other lovestruck newbies before me, I felt miserable rather quickly. I spent so much money on all of these fresh and delicate scents, I would spray them on me in the morning, only to discover that nothing of their exhilarating enchantment would be left by noon. So it started, the quest to find a fresh scent that actually lasts.
Parfumo and certain influencers quickly let me in the direction of Orange Flamingo. After several visits to exquisite perfume boutiques and department stores there was still no way for me to actually get hold of it. So I ordered a sample from the Marc Gebauer website and it arrived a few days later.
I was quite excited, sprayed it on me and - my - I was quite perplexed. At first, I thought I was teleported to my grandma's boudoir and just used a heavily scented lotion of hers. The lily of the valley and jasmine notes dominated the scent and I felt absolutely no crisp and fabulous esprit that I would expect from an orange flamingo.
Fortunately, after about 20 minutes that fades away and there it is - a citrusy smell that lasts for hours. Reminds me of the smell of dried orange slices that I associate with childhood memories of Christmas. Even though the scent lacks the sophistication and complexity of other citrusy (but also much more volatile) perfume creations, there it is - a fresh fragrance reminiscent of orange that sticks with you for the entire day. If that's what you're looking for, go for it.
Albeit, Orange Bomb would have been a way more fitting name. Flamingos are quite delicate and gentle creatures and Orange Flamingo is too much of a force to accomplish that subtle complexity that weaker citrusy smells often possess.

Der Orange Flamingo ist ein frische wäsche duft, er ist sehr sehr clean und man riecht sehr gut, perfekt für die arbeit oder fürs gym, man riecht dann nicht mehr nach schweiß sondern sehr angenehm frisch und das ist mir lieber anstatt das ich meine mitmenschen mit einem penetraten schweiß geruch belästigen tue, ich finde die haltbarkeit - sillage - und geruch sehr sehr gut, ich kann es nur empfehlen!! Der preis ist gerecht fertig meienr meinung nach wegen dem hohen öl anteil und der marke marc gebauer und gebauer!

Habe ihn wie fast jeder Blindgekauft. Leider gar nichts für mich und eine große Enttäuschung f+ür den Preis. Für den Namen ist mir der Duft einfach zu Floral und Feminin. Einfach nicht meine Welt viele interpretieren den Duft mit Frischer Wäsche allerdings gibt es für mich weitaus bessere Parfüms die das erfüllen als Orange Flamingo. Für Frauen ein toller Duft und bestimmt auch für Männer allerdings nicht mein Geschmack und eher eine Enttäuschung. Trotzdem ist die Haltbarkeit für einen Sommerduft sensationell
