O de L`Orangerie Lancome for women

The words that come to mind are fresh, sweet,soapy,clean,soft floral-citrus...but there is something 'dirty'in it that keeps this from feeling immature! I wonder if this is the this the benzoin and cedar?
Oh de L 'Orangerie lasts and lasts and surrounds the wearer in a soft, sugary cloud of blooming springtime possibilities.

I THINK what I am smelling from this is all orange blossom, which happens to be one of my fav scents in this world, but hmmm its just not dead on for me. I grew up next to an Orange Grove in Fl and when they blossomed I could smell them at my house, so wonderful. I know what they smell like and again this is not dead nor is it doing anything for me. It also has similarities to Lilly Pulitzer Beachy, I can almost swear that is what I am wearing. I don't think this is for me. :-/ I already own and love Beachy and like it better than this.

I am not a big fan of lancome scents at all,usually there´s nothing really special about it that really caught my attention,but this one is really amazing,I love this one so badly That I really wanna buy it, just not for now,It´s magnificent classic, citrus and suits very good on my skin.. I must have this masterpice,and I´ll make a better review when I purchase it..

This is a beautiful refreshing scent, warm and cool at the same time, reminiscent of warm summer evenings.

I'm into orange blossom lately and this is my best hit so far. Juicy orange blossom, soft and cuddly jasmine and refreshig, slightly sweet citruses. The longevity is excellent.

Which perfume fresh and delicious! His smell of fresh green leaves and, embracing a citric scent of Orange, not only the broth ... but I can feel the bitter taste of bark too! Invigorating, love it! A great perfume, for use when the Academy or on warmer days.

It's both about jasmine and orange flower. Actually I find too much jasmine here, I'm not a fan of jasmine. The most pleasant in my opinion is the beginning when the fragrance is light green but this vanishes fast and becomes white jasmine -orange flower, a bit too overpowering like jasmine can be. Sweet, a bit soapy. I prefer O d'Azur, it wears easier for me. This one is nice if somebody likes these both ingredients altogether - Orangerie is too white and nauseous for me.
I agree that it has something in common with Miss Dior Cherie L' Eau, but MDCh is fresher and sharper.Also it reminds me of Alien (I don't like Alien!).
A pretty bottle!

I was in the mall and saw it and thought what the heck--and gave myself a spritz, expecting not to like it. But though it is very strong, it is lovely. I could smell the orange blossom right away, and a little of the zest too, and of course the heady jasmine. But a very clean jasmine, not the almost gagging-sweet jasmine you sometimes encounter (both in perfumes and in the plant world--there are different types of jasmine!). The drydown is somewhat powdery, but not cloyingly so. I would agree with others that it seems like a warm weather scent--though wearing it on a dull rainy cold day could really cheer you up!

Ladies..I read my comment again and I have to say it deserves much more than this..I want to wait for spring/summer to wear it but today I couldnt stop myself..I am really in love with this scent..i love every step of L'Orangerie..the beginning..the dry down..everything.its sooo soft..the citrus..the orange..the jasmine..everything soo balanced in it, fresh and all of the notes sooo elegant combined. I cant find the right words to describe this one :) its amazing..and its the perfect summer frag I used to miss and never found.

This fragrance has many lovely levels, subtle but it defintely has something that other perfumes don't. I have only had it for a day and already so many compliments. It wears really great on my skin, and the fresh citrus and orange notes dry down to a soft lingering powdery jasmine that reminds me of the sweet soft sent that jasmine plants gives on late summer afternoons. It's soft and elegant and I am addicted to the smell. My husband loves it to which is a total bonus.

I tested it last weekend and I have to say I fell in love..I cant wait for next summer to buy it..seems it will become my favourite for summer :)I adore the jasmine note with citruses..sooooo nice (you shouldnt spray it on paper..you should try it directly on your skin!)

Update: Sorry, I gave it another chance and it was dreadfull. It was kind of nice on my skin but my clothes reecks of jasmin, which by the way, I loath most of the time.

in my skin smells like jasmine and nothing more, a little bit sopay, I'm ok with that but expected something more orageish... besides my husband hates jasmine :(

At first, it was heavenly, the citrus, the orange blossoms and the cedar were lovely. But, after 30 minutes it change into something strange, I don't know if it was too bitter or synthetic but it was definitely weird. An hour later change again, this time into something pleasant, I mean now it's soft, citrusy and a little soapy. It's nice, nothing really special so I guess I'll give it another try.

The notes sound very appealing to me.
The only thing that made me "sad" is the soapy drydown that some reviewers below noticed. I like soapy, but I was expecting something more fresh, nothing "soap", only by observing the bottle.
Gonna try. After I tell you.

CONTINUATION:
Tried it: very soapy, nothing fresh, and made me remember of something I already have. Nothing new. A little annoying. Threw the paper strip away.

My wife has a sample of this fragrance and it is awsome.I love how they blended this scent,I feel that it is a masterpiece,I wish my house smelled like this fragrance.It opens with the best orange and citrus scent I have ever smelled and then You smell the sweet jasmine and cedar.This is one of my favorite fragrances to smell I and will be buying a bottle for my wife a.s.a.p.This will be another one of my wifes perfumes that I'll spray myself just to get a whiff of this beautiful and intoxicating scent.I love it.

What a radiantly beautiful, fresh, clean, dewy-green, orange blossom floral! This lovely flanker opens with a splash of dewdrop-fresh citric greens embraced by a warmly lush heart of neroli, clean jasmine, and headily smooth creamy orange blossoms. The tenderly soft base of clean, light woods and benzoin envelops everything in a tenderly soft cocoon of warm elegance and subtle sweetness. This is a delicately intoxicating haze of clean, white seduction. Feminine in extremis. I am enchanted.

I did go and test this on my skin the next day I wrote my first comment. I didn't take long for me to decide I wanted it and today I went to get a 50ml bottle for myself.

The jasmine comes out intense and lovely on my skin, even more than it did on the paper. (Somehow my skin chemistry seems to enhance some flowery scents and vanilla.) The scent feels fresh and green like the wind in a fruit and tree garden. Still it's sweet and floral which makes it definitely feminine. Citruses are noticeable especially in the beginning and succeed in making the scent fresh without turning out soapy like many fragrances.

L'Orangerie is a lot nicer than it's predecessor which I can't actually say I like. I also tried on Lancome o d'Azur too, which was pretty nice but nothing that special or extraordinary and maybe a bit too sweet.

Lancome l'Orangerie instead will definitely go to my all time favorites. (And I have to say that I'm very picky with my fragrances.)

Great for summer time... love it and i will use it during my vacations to a Greek Island!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful sweet modern fragrance with a hint of green. It settled on my skin and the sweet orange notes blossomed and stayed, the zesty green notes had long disappeared by then. I was kind of hoping the green notes would linger a bit longer; I dont get any cedar notes at all but I still love the sillage of sweet oranges with something faintly floral on my skin. I dont like the O de Lancome scent (smells a little dated now) and the new Lancome Azur doesnt smell too special on my skin, reminds me of a bathroom cleaner and doesnt otherwise smell of a day by the sea, which the name "Azur" seems to conjure up. But O de l'Orangerie is lovely, beautiful, romantic, flowing and enticing. One smelled, not forgotten! This is for me THE 2011 summer fragance. Bien fait, Lancome!

Oh, this is just sooooo beautiful! :-) I will wear this a lot during my upcoming vacation! Perfect for "green & fresh" lovers...

Very uplifting (orange flowers & citruses), cooling & refreshing; but manages to be sensual (jasmine, cedar & benzoin) too!;-)

This one is a winner!

Ladies, let your man pick out what he likes to smell on you. The smells of orange is nice and love the floral notes

I sprayed a sample of it on paper today and liked it very much. In the evening I left the sample next to the computer and after a while I noticed that my bf kept smelling it! I had taken a couple of different samples but apparently that was his choice. Mine too I have to say... I think I'll try it on tomorrow.

It's a lovely fresh, floral and citrusy scent. You can detect the jasmine and that's probably why my bf likes this scent.

mmm... i loved this one. Just no words, only emotions!!!

This reminded me alot of Armani Code. It is nice but not earth shattering. The lasting power is not all that great on me either.

Lovely. Absolutely lovely. :-)

To my nose: by far the best of all the 'O's' de Lancome! Reminds me of holidays in south France/Cote d'Azur.This perfume captures perfectly the breeze of salted sea mixed with mediterranean flowers and spices. Love it!

I have a sample of this and one word describes it..YUCK!
reminds me of some kind of household cleaner! I would not wear this if it was the only perfume on earth!

The notes sounded nice so today I tried it. I am afraid I don't like it at all. It reminds me so much of Womanity from Mugler which I can't stand. What a pity.

It smells EXACTLY like Anna Sui's Secret Wish Magic Romance.
I have the Sui perfume so I am able to judge that.
Smells a bit like Light Blue with a hint of orange blossom and lily of the valley.
Crisp, clean, fresh, nice for spring and summer.

It's definitely green. I also get the orange blossom. It's clean and fresh, there's a summer feeling there. But, it reminds me of some fabric softener, and so I feel why should I pay for this? Nice, but won't buy it.

i feel something similar to miss dior cherie l'eau, IT'S GREEN....but sweeter than dior l'eau. With the price £30 for 70ml, i think i might buy it for this summer..^^...Just a fresh perfume for daily use with reasonable price.

At the very beginning it's a mess. I got scared a bit. But wait a minute, this is Lancome. It can't be bad. And voila! after a few moments every note falls right into its place and you get an optimistic fresh green scent. Happy, romantic and young at heart. Not girlish-cheap! It reminds me of some other happy n'cosy greens like Daliflor EdT and Duende, but O de L'Orangerie is high level I should say. Absolutely my kind of perfume.

i sprayed it on the paper and it was so bad that i couldn't dare to spray it on me. Strong, very strong, gave my friend a very bad cough. I thought it smelled like mosquito repellent

" what you see is what you get: ..you can recognaize every note here
its very fresh, clean , shiny , spring feeling , the drydown is soapy in a style of Prada Amber Pour Homme and Gucci Eau de Parfum Gucci for women
also j Malone orange bollsom have in commom

nice fresh fragrance which doesn't vanish quickly. maybe a little too sweet after a while...
