Dries Van Noten Orange Smoke is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2022, created by Annick Menardo. Orange Smoke opens with Mandarin, Petitgrain, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Jasmine, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Musk and Myrrh. Dries Van Noten's Orange Smoke carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some find it a gorgeous, uplifting orange blossom and neroli, while others are left cold by its soapy, almost 'hotel lobby' vibe. It's divisive and perhaps a tad overpriced for the experience, but if you love citrus and incense, it might just surprise you.

Scent Profile

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.

About

Orange Smoke opens with a bright, slightly bitter burst of mandarin and petitgrain, quickly joined by the luminous, fresh sweetness of neroli. As it settles, the heart reveals a delicate interplay of soft orange blossom and jasmine, subtly warmed by a whisper of smoky incense. The dry down is a clean, gentle embrace of musk and the ancient resinous depth of myrrh, lending a sophisticated, earthy finish.
