Oriflame Freya is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2002, created by Philippe Bousseton. Freya opens with Sea Water and Citrus, settles into a heart of Floral Notes, Green Notes, Rose, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Oriflame's Freya carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This discontinued gem is a cult classic, deeply missed by those who remember its unique, cold, and woody embrace. It's often described as a 'Nordic wind' in a bottle, perfect for a woman who knows what she wants.

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.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

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

Imagine a bracing sea breeze carrying hints of citrus, giving way to a cool, green floral heart with rose and lily of the valley, and a subtle hint of ginger. The journey culminates in a warm, earthy base of sandalwood, patchouli, and cedar, creating a fresh, woody, and subtly spicy character that's utterly distinctive.
