Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

With moderate longevity and sillage, L'Origan is versatile enough for many settings, though its rich, powdery character and warmth make it particularly suitable for cooler weather and more refined events. Reviewers often mention wearing it for special occasions or as a comforting, personal scent, rather than for sporty activities.

About

Opening with a subtle burst of bergamot and orange, spiced gently with pepper and coriander, L'Origan quickly blossoms. The heart reveals a beautiful floral bouquet of violet, rose, jasmine, and orange blossom, warmed by nutmeg and ylang-ylang. It settles into a rich, powdery base of vanilla, benzoin, and musk, with hints of incense and cedarwood adding depth and sophistication.
