Oriflame Mirage is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010, created by Françoise Caron. Mirage opens with Orange, Mandarin, and Elemi, settles into a heart of Vetiver, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Oriflame's Mirage carries an Acquired verdict, an aromatic-led wear.

This discontinued gem from Oriflame is a divisive beast: some hail it as a unique, spicy masterpiece that smells expensive, while others find its strong elemi note too medicinal or heavy. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but fans are clamouring for its return.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Mirage is a strong, long-lasting fragrance with significant sillage, making it unsuitable for an office environment. Its rich, spicy oriental profile and 'sexy' perception from reviewers lend themselves perfectly to date nights and formal events, particularly in cooler weather. It's too heavy for sport and generally too assertive for everyday casual wear, though some enjoy its unique character at all times.

About

Mirage kicks off with a vibrant, juicy citrus burst of orange and mandarin, quickly deepened by the resinous, slightly spicy elemi. The heart introduces a rich, aromatic blend of vetiver, rose, and jasmine, adding a green, earthy florality. As it dries down, a warm, sensual base of amber, vanilla, and sandalwood emerges, creating a mysterious and intoxicating oriental trail.
