the Orage fulfills something that I have wished for in a perfume for years. It radiates a natural, musk-like redwood bark mulch masculine spicy aura into the room, similar to the trail left by passing Sauvage wearers. Interestingly, I find Orage otherwise divided into two parallel functions. So, on one hand, there is the aforementioned, and then there is an oriental, slightly floral-soapy flirtatiousness for the close nose.

I find in this fragrance the scent I smell from pine (trees) when direct intense sunlight makes them steam and scent. The sweet woody base, which becomes more prominent during the dry down, is really pleasant and inspiring. The perfume also realistically smells of apricots, at least for about 1 hour. This fruity scent also reminds me of the so-called fruit leather that you can buy for snacking (dried fruit mass as a thin flat cake).
Unfortunately, I must say, you have to endure a lot of citrus at the beginning for this enjoyment, but perhaps this sour-fresh-fruity note is necessary for the fruitiness to still succeed after 30 minutes. However, I could do without this citrus. As far as I'm concerned, the apricots could simply smell dry-sweet, warm, and herbal. But I'm just not a fan of citrus when it comes to body perfume. Jokingly, I could say that Celebrate Life by Douglas is the Aachen plum of the perfume world, but of course as apricot puree. Yes, it also reminds me of Aachen plum. Sour and spicy with aromatic depth. Due to the wood, which I believe comes from the eastern distance, thus exotic, the perfume also has an oriental touch.

smells good, smells hay-like-spicy, sweet, smells like Cynar (artichoke liqueur). Transforms beautifully and smells natural. The rose adds a character-defining note of stink due to the combination (chlorine-like, hay-like, cork-like).
On paper after 24 hours, there is still a lot of honey note to smell as well as some pleasant friendly vanilla, so even DD goes in a very pleasant direction, but after 2 days I notice a somewhat uncomfortable penetrating amber note that only becomes apparent so late.
I feel the same way as with Evoke Gold Him, a compromise between beautiful and nose-biting undertones. Here, however, it is not as strong.

First of all, I read that it is made from only natural ingredients. This must be mentioned for moral reasons when one cannot only praise it. Below is wood, in the middle is patch, and at the top is Berga. Perhaps that's why, after 5 minutes, I get a cheap Aventus clone impression, and I believe the warm, pronounced cardamom contributes to the pineapple element. Some may appreciate that Brioni Eau de Parfum Essentiel appears quite bright and clean. It could also be the fragrance of, for example, a Weleda, Hauschka, or Theiss cream. However, the bergamot has a very sour quality in the first 10 minutes on skin or 15 minutes on paper. I'd say it’s salivatingly irritating citrus. I find the cardamom very pronounced in a close-to-skin sense. The patchouli dominates after 15 minutes, rather filling the space but subtly. You are quietly overwhelmed by it the whole time while it wafts around you. Yes, you really have to like patch to enjoy this. In the end, I smelled a bit artificial, like an amber-musk grandma with a gold pocket watch. This, in turn, has something of Sauvage Elixir. I wouldn’t notice much more in terms of notes today.

A pretty chic Nepalese woman adorned with mother-of-pearl, silver, and fluttering dark green mini tassels opens a box of cardamom pastries that smell partly like gingerbread, speculoos, and Russian bread (the sweet crispy letters). On a small altar covered with a dark red and orange-yellow cloth lies a small paper package of incense sticks. I briefly hold my nose to the sweet-spicy scent. NagChampa is written on the package without foil. It occurs to me where this unnatural algae aquatic "ambroxan" scent in my nose comes from, which has been mixing with everything I smell the whole time. I had just showered with the blue "Men Sport" half an hour ago. Completely forgotten, because so much has happened and I just met Tashi Dolma's chicly perfumed dominant mother. A bit burdened by the shower gel, well, better to be freshly showered now, given what lies ahead, than unwashed and only smelling of me and sleep. The bustling traffic roars outside. Today is market day. I still have no idea that I will later buy a three-pack of DuschDas because Tashi's mother wants to keep it in stock. In the evening, after the loud day full of the hustle and bustle of strangers, I often still smell the ambry sweet women's perfume of the mother when she gestures with her gold-chain-adorned and sun-tanned hands waving in the air. Cardamom, I think as I fall asleep. (Layer recommendation: Sauvage Elixir with "Encens Flamboyant (Eau de Parfum) | Goutal" or similar incense scents) (To call up Sauvage Elixir listed at the top in the search bar, it is enough to type "eli." The perfume seems to be in high demand.)
