Orientica Best is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Best opens with Green, Rose, and Cotton Candy, settles into a heart of Citrus, Woody, and Leather, and dries down to a base of Musk, Resin, Amber, and Labdanum. Orientica's Best carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

If your dad wore a citrusy aftershave in the 80s, this might give you a hit of nostalgia - or send you running for the hills. It's a divisive one, playing on that fresh shaving cream vibe, but surprisingly pulls a crowd for its Aventus-adjacent charm.

About

Best opens with a sharp, invigorating hit of citrus, softened by a faint whisper of rose and a green, almost juicy freshness. As it settles, a clean, slightly rugged leather emerges, intertwined with a contemporary woody core. The dry-down delivers a comforting warmth, thanks to resinous amber and a velvety musk, grounding the initial zing with a sophisticated, slightly addictive depth.
