Atelier Des Ors Larmes du Désert is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Marie Salamagne. Larmes du Désert opens with Cypress and Incense, settles into a heart of Cedar, Patchouli, and Guaiac Wood, and dries down to a base of Citrus, Woody Notes, Amber, and Benzoin. Atelier Des Ors's Larmes du Désert carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a divisive one, blending traditional incense and woods with a rather unexpected sweetness. While some rave about its golden, spiritual qualities, others are left scratching their heads, finding it too sweet or strangely fruity. Definitely not a blind buy.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Casual

Its moderate projection and deep, resinous nature make it generally unsuitable for the office, though some find it office-safe given a lighter hand. It shines on dates and formal occasions where its warm, sophisticated character can truly impress, particularly in cooler months. Not suited for casual daywear or sport due to its density.

About

Larmes du Désert opens with a bracing, clean cypress and deep, dry incense that immediately evokes a spiritual, almost church-like atmosphere. This sharp, aromatic start quickly mellows into a warm, resinous heart of guaiac wood and cedar, offering a subtly smoky and earthy depth. The base unfolds with a golden amber sweetness, balanced by woody notes and a hint of benzoin, creating an intoxicating and long-lasting trail. Sometimes, a curious fruity note emerges, adding to its complex character.
