Oriana is a sweet, citrus, fruity scent created for women in 2021 by perfumers Nathalie Lorson and Hamid Merati-Kashani.
Review
This scent is creamy and delicious, but soon begins to dry down into its citrus notes. It maintains a subtle warmth as it softens, and will work well in any setting you desire to wear it. It is comparable to By Kilian’s Love, Don’t Be Shy. Try this sample and let us know what you think!
Inspiration
This gourmand, fluffy, sweet scent was inspired by stories told that Francesco Procopio dei Coltelli (inventor of Gelato) whipped up a ‘milk cream’ to honor the prince, future King Louis XV, at the grand French castle of Chantilly. And Chantily Cream was born!
Notes
In a slight pyramid reversal, you can feel the sweetness of the base notes first. Marshmallow and Chantilly Cream and Musk lift themselves above all the rest and you are in a little gourmand cloud of heaven. As the sweeter notes dry down, you can feel the freshness of the Mandarin, Bergamot and Grapefruit. In the end, the fruit notes come out to play and linger with the help of Ambrette. A delicate dance ensues as each note twists and turns around your senses.
Top Notes: Mandarin, Bergamot, Grapefruit
