Vertigo's lovely review gives me a mental image that I enjoy whenever wearing this perfume - sitting in a cafe with a delicious coffee and a doughnut with rose jam filling.(I've never had such a doughnut, but I love jelly doughnuts and would be happy to eat one filled with rose jam!)
I get a deep, multi-faceted espresso here. One generous squirt on my wrist still leaves me with a hint of delicious, slightly candied espresso more than 12 hours later. Perhaps I should stock up, because a reasonably priced, good-smelling, long-lasting perfume in a pretty bottle is surely going to be discontinued right away, isn't it?

This is the first modestly-priced scent I've smelled in quite some time that genuinely impressed me-
This is so many things in one, and not heavy-the coffee note is like a lovely light roast, while Inside by Trussardi is a good dark roast- Remember that light roast doesn't mean weak, and vice versa....
and blend this holograph of a coffee aroma with the scent of a kiwi-an elusive special fruit which I've adored on the tongue, without paying much attention to its scent-but there is something kiwi-like to accompany the usual citrus opening and black currant undercurrent-this smells quite clean with the soft florals which might smell soapy alone-magnolia contributes to a delightful breezy attitude of this scent, floriental and interesting but not heavy....This is fruited, but not very sweet-sweet, but sweet isn't one of the first words I would use to describe this gem....
I wouldn't describe this as smoky, or sour or bitter, or soapy either....
Let's see, not sweet, not bitter, nor sour nor clean nor heavy...?
L'Or de Torrente is definitely golden, soft, assertive, defying stereotype, not arrogant, but not bashful--Delicious, but not quite gourmand, oriental but not really spicy....
One of those rare perfumes worthy of the beautiful, beautiful, beautiful flacon!

Just got this for an incredible deal along with its body lotion.
The bottle is a precious little thing , looks like something out of a fairy tale to me.
For me this is very much a "for my own personal enjoyment" fragrance ,what I mean by that,its not a strictly sexy or a statement kind of scent, in my opinion - not that I don't enjoy all my frags for myself & their personality..
What this is , is a very comfortable ,addictive scent that I just can't stop sniffing my own wrist ! - this may not be the most sophisticated comparison but this brings to my mind a freshly baked baguette with some Nuttela & raspberry jam spread on it , and a steaming cup of good, strong coffee sitting next to it - this perfume smells like these wonderful things all together.
I do wish the fruit jam smell would stay for the whole duration on my skin , but it fades all too quick , all that stays is a fleeting hint of the berries , the florals in this are very shy on my skin, but still wonderful. Long lasting, very wearable scent.
All said , this is a very enjoyable ,unique fragrance & I'm going to love wearing it.

L'Or de Torrente is perhaps one of the loveliest perfumes I have ever had, and certainly the most beautiful warm coffee/rose scent ever.
A while back, I ran out of my first bottle, and had to run to get a new one. I seldom do this, but to me, L'Or is not only "full bottle worthy", its second and third and fourth bottle worthy!
L'Or is not necessarily "sweet", depite its gourmand/flowery side, because it has a pretty smokiness and a fruity, slightly sour side that transcends straight out "sweet" gourmands with fruits, spices and flowers, like Casmir by Chopard, another great in this genre. L'Or is also not, in my opinion, masculine in the least, but very feminine and inviting.
L'Or is also not necessarily a no character, no presence "safe" perfume (thankfully), its just a delicious perfume, unusual and warm, with comfy sillage and great lasting power. It works for me in winter and in summer : in winter because of the warm gourmand coffee notes, spices and vanilla, in summer because of the flowers and fruits.
Its hard to describe how unusual, elegant and yet also comforting L'Or is, with its soft vanilla/coffee wrapped in flowers and fruits, or how many compliments it gets from all age groups. Ultimately, to me L"Or is not just a perfume, its really a little miracle, which always makes me smile and gentles the edges of my every day life whenever I am stressed and wear it.

I wanted it so bad but then I was disappointed. I asked my friend to buy it for me because it isn't available in my country and well...it is not what I was expecting. I wanted to give it away because I thought it will be sweet and warm but on me it's dark and very elegant. However, my opinion is changing and the more I smell it, the more I like it. I think this perfume just takes time and that's it. So, I'll wait to see if there is chemistry between us and my guess is that there will be plenty because I start smiling every time I smell it. It is really lovely and very unique in every way.I smell roses, black coffee, wood and little vanilla. And I'm happy I have it! Well... now when I think about it, I won't change it! It's great!!!

I finally come to my review about L'or de Torrente.
Its a really unique coffee-rose-scent which i get out of it, very much powdery and like "Trvevil" said 'dusty'. At the beginning i also feel a masculine touch, but the dominant notes here are the creamy cappuccino and the soft rosè rose petals. I guess, it would be good wearing it on evening, but i also think its not wrong wearing it during the day or at office, because its not that overwhelming, but it doesnt mean that the pefume hasnt a long lasting power, the contrary is the case. The bottle is indeed a masterpiece.

All I can smell is the coffee..it is a dark masculine note in my opinion..I didnt dislike it, I just wouldnt wear it..one of those scents that could be magical on someone else, but not on me.,.too "present". I cant imagine anybody could wear it!
05/25/09 21:38:04
On me it's coffee and very dusty cedar. It's very woody and I didn't get much flowers out of it. But anyway it's exceptional for me and not very expensive too. It does remind me more juicy and soft Trussardi Inside which I love very much too, it's like harsher much more woody scent on me. I didn't feel the top notes only something sweet along with woods at first. I guess I need to try that again. Bottle is very beautiful too- it's one of them that I like to take a closer look. I also saw similar red bottle with name Rouge.

I decided to order this fragrance when looking for a similar but better smelling 'Extraordinary' from Avon which disapponted me in practically not having any base notes developing on my skin. A lovely, warm, spicy coffe scent on me that turns into a cappucino smell just like blueberrypie said. I'm also getting some lovely 'dusty' cedar, the way I like it. Would have been interested in smelling florals in it, may catch it another time though. A definite thumbs up for the creator for this interesting and lovely blend, a modern and spicy gourmand fragrance with a kick of oriental.

L'Or reminds me of a sweeter version of Cacharel's Noa. The fruity top notes fade very quickly on my skin and the coffee note takes over.
Caramel is not listed as a note, but to my nose this is a sweet caramel coffee with subtle roses in singing softly in the background. Sometimes in the dry-down I think I can detect a faint trace of hazelnut, which reminds me of Cacharel's Noa Perle.
Unusual and well-balanced without being too sweet or too bitter, unlike most scents with coffee notes. This fragrance is beautifully done and has pretty good fixation, around six hours for me. Warm and inviting, I can't wait to wear this in the fall and winter!

It was my signature fragrance for a long time and this beautiful bottle! At first some fruity flowery impression along with more heavy coffee woodsy notes and then comes vanilla but in this just right amount which would not rather distinct it but integrate with others.
Lovely - worth trying.

This is an interesting fragrance..but I didnt enjoy wearimg it as it is too woodsy and somber for me..this is a heavy scent, not a light fresh fragrance like I like them...not for me, but a very different and captivating scent! the vanilla is overpowering
03/06/09 21:41:26
I bought this because of the great reviews it received here. I was excited to find a "coffee" fragrance-since I am a coffee junkie. I guess I will have to try this a few more times because sadly,I could not smell the coffee. Maybe it's just my chemestry, because it did not seem to last very long either. I am sad.
03/04/09 15:28:54
On my skin it is cappuccino and nice sweet woody notes with spices. I like this scent and realy beauty bottle.

L'Or should be close to everyone who likes sitting in a cafe with a cup of delightful coffee and a doughnut with a rose jam filling.
A friendly, attracting, intriguing fragrance.
Longlasting.
It certainly draws attention, it is rich and hedonistic, more coquettish than sensual.
The coffee aroma provokes a conversation or a flirt, but is connected too much with a morning wake-up...
L'Or may seduce those who can't resist mystical and feminine scent of a rose. It is ment for daring, self-confident and intelligent women, who have a big sense of humour, who (if they want) can be mysterious and inscrutable.

What a lovely scent this is! I bought this hoping I would be able to smell the coffee note (since a lot of people seem to have trouble detecting it) and luckily, I am.
On me this opens fruity, and kind of aquatic in the background if that makes any sense. Then the cedar becomes more prominent and sticks around for an hour or two. I'm not too fond of cedar, it often smells like pencil shavings to me but in L'Or de Torrente it's not too bad. When the cedar starts fading away the coffee finally appears, though it actually smells more like a delicious creamy cappucino on me. With the cappucino comes this warm wintery vanilla scent. I could literally eat the perfume by this time, it's that good.
L'Or de Torrente is a slow developer, and it's staying power is magnificent. I sprayed only twice in the morning and I was still able to smell it the next day when I woke up.It's light, elegant and sophisticated... I wonder, how come not many people know about this scent? Well, who cares. I'm gonna keep it all to my self. Wouldn't want to share this little gem with the rest of the world. ;)

This is truly a beautiful scent. I've been wearing it for years and unlike most others that had once been my "favorite" this one never disappoints. It's like finally finding my true love. What is also wonderful is it's eclusivity. When I have it on, I get so many compliments from both men and women, yet no one has ever heard of it. For example, I love Michael Kors, but I would never wear it because I would smell like every other womwn in the city.

I got hooked by a free sample of this. Its kinda hard to find but it lasts! Its warm, sweet, elegant. Think Christmas time, sitting next to a fresh cedar tree with coffee brewing in the kitchen and a chocolate cake baking in the oven mmmmm. This scent manages to be gourmand and elegant at the same time. It is concentrated and does develop with time. Perfect!

Very interesting. Original connection of bitter coffee, forest fruits, kiwi, with bit wanilla, ambra and wood notes. Such sweetly - bitter. Expressive. Warm, elegant. Oriental, but without dirty notes, wich I don't like which in classics orientals fragrances. Nice, but determined, vibrant, changing. Fine. For brunettes, or for blonde, or red haired woman etc., she have temperament brunettes. A bit, really, only a bit old-fashioned, but to adorable manner. Beautiful. I wanted soft Inside by Trussardi, but meantime I have obtained strong, warm, L'Or by Torrente and I don't regret. I be glad beauty. L'Or adds vigor me.

Sweet deep black coffee and mysterious roses - a wonderful and incredible combination of scents reaching your nose. Love this fragrance and the bottle is absolutely fabulous!
