Ascendant

by Vincent Schaller

Oriflame Ascendant is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2007, created by Vincent Schaller. Ascendant opens with Fennel, Ginger, Cardamom, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Artemisia, Rosemary, and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Cedar, Tonka Bean, and Vanilla. Oriflame's Ascendant carries a Favourite verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

Ascendant is a subtly sensual, clean vanilla scent that leaves many wanting more. It's a proper compliment-getter, but its poor performance means the magic often fades long before the night is over. A real 'love it or hate it' scent.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Winter

A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual

Its subtle nature and poor projection make it ideal for close encounters like dates or casual wear, where others will only catch whiffs up close. The lack of intensity means it's also office-friendly, but its vanilla sweetness isn't suited to formal events or sports.

About

It opens with a fresh, spicy zest of ginger, cardamom, and a bright citrus blend, quickly settling into an aromatic heart of lavender and herbaceous rosemary. The dry down is where Ascendant truly shines, marrying a smooth, slightly smoky vanilla with creamy tonka bean, grounded by earthy vetiver and cedar. It's a surprisingly sophisticated composition for something so divisive.
