Oriflame Precious is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2007, created by Marie Salamagne. Precious opens with Mandarin, Pear, and Peach, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Amber and Myrrh. Oriflame's Precious carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

A divisive oriental that packs an absolute punch. Precious is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with fans adoring its rich warmth and detractors finding it utterly overwhelming. Definitely for those who like a heavy-hitter.

Baseas listed

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Winter
Also Works:
Fall

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its intensity and warm, oriental profile make it unsuitable for the office or casual daytime wear, especially given many reports of it being headache-inducing if over-applied. Precious excels in colder weather and evening events, suiting dates or formal occasions where its strong presence is an asset.

About

Precious opens with a succulent burst of peach, pear, and mandarin, a juicy intro soon giving way to a heart of delicate lily of the valley and jasmine. The real star, though, is its potent oriental base: a deep, resinous amber interwoven with the balsamic, slightly spicy character of myrrh. This creates a warm, enveloping, and undeniably opulent dry-down that lingers beautifully.
