I first came across Serge Lutens Fleurs d’Oranger as a recommendation from a fellow facebook fraghead when I was looking for recommendations relating to an orange blossom floral perfume.

Almost every brand has its take on Fleurs D'Oranger but Serge Lutens' is the one I love the most. All the others I've tried usually focus on the orange or citrus more than the "fleurs". SL's take is more of a white floral mix. Alongside the orange blossom, there’s jasmine (which I love). It gives the fragrance a fuller floral feel without becoming indolic. It adds a creaminess that keeps it from being too clean or sharp on my skin. 

As it dries down, there’s a warm quality that comes through. It's supposed to have a cumin note which seems to bother some reviewers but my nose doesn't get cumin in this at all. 

I’m obsessed with it enough that I also wear it to bed sometimes. It’s one of the few fragrances that is perfect to wear during the day but still comforting when I’m winding down at night.

Projection is noticeable in the first hour, longevity is good too. I can put it on in the morning and still smell it later in the day, with the orange blossom and jasmine still showing up even after it softens.

Overall, SL Fleurs d’Oranger is my go-to when I want a thick orange blossom with white flowers.
