Oriza L. Legrand Oeillet Louis XV is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1909. Oeillet Louis XV opens with Mandarin and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Rose, Iris, Orchid, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Blond Woods, Cedar, and Pepper. Oriza L. Legrand's Oeillet Louis XV carries an Acquired verdict, a spicy-led wear.

A truly divisive vintage-style floral, this one splits the room. For some, it's a nostalgic, elegant carnation bouquet; for others, a cloying clove bomb with a dated, soapy edge. Definitely sample first.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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

  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Eugenia Caryophyllus Leaf Oil from Clove

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

Oeillet Louis XV opens with a bright, spicy burst of mandarin and pink pepper, quickly ushering in a rich, powdery floral heart. Expect a prominent carnation, often leaning heavily into its clove-like facets, alongside the refined softness of iris and rose. As it settles, a clean, woody base emerges, sometimes sweetened with honeyed nuances, delivering a classic, somewhat vintage profile that lingers with a subtle elegance.
