D’ORSAY C’est Toujours Agréable d’Être Attendu O.W. is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Anne-Sophie Behaghel. C’est Toujours Agréable d’Être Attendu O.W. opens with Bergamot and Bitter Orange, settles into a heart of Woody Notes and Ginger, and dries down to a base of Musk and Amber. D’ORSAY's C’est Toujours Agréable d’Être Attendu O.W. carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A truly gorgeous, elegant citrus woody fragrance, but the performance is a travesty for the price. Prepare for disappointment unless you enjoy reapplying every hour.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring

Its citrus, amber and musky composition leans towards spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its subtle nature and poor longevity make it suitable for office wear where it won't offend, and it's pleasant enough for casual outings if you don't mind reapplying. However, for a date or formal event, its lack of projection and short life make it a poor choice.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Bitter Orange
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

It opens with a bright burst of bergamot and bitter orange, zesty and uplifting, before softening into a warm, spicy heart of ginger and delicate woody notes. The base lingers with a clean musk and a whisper of amber, creating a fresh yet grounded aroma. It's clean, sophisticated, and utterly fleeting.
