Mendittorosa Orlo is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Anne-Sophie Behaghel. Orlo opens with Bergamot, Bitter Orange, Mandarin, and Basil, settles into a heart of Petitgrain, Neroli, Lavender, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Papyrus, Leather, Oud, and Saffron. Mendittorosa's Orlo carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Orlo is a divisive one: a vibrant, complex battle of notes that some find utterly gorgeous and uplifting, while others get an odd, almost plasticky sweetness. It's a bold statement, not a quiet background player.

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

Orlo opens with a zesty, almost bitter blast of bergamot and mandarin, sharpened by basil. This energetic start quickly meets a spiced heart where cumin, lavender, and pink pepper dance with a subtle floral hint of neroli. As it settles, a rich, earthy base emerges with dry hay, papyrus, and a soft leather, all underscored by a touch of boozy rum and saffron, creating a dry yet warm complexity.
