Orlov Paris Burning Desire is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Shyamala Maisondieu. Burning Desire opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, Pepper, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Rose and Raspberry, and dries down to a base of Musk. Orlov Paris's Burning Desire carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you - there's less burning desire and more sparkling charm here. It's a bright, sophisticated, and utterly delightful citrus-rose, perfect for those who crave a fresh everyday scent, but perhaps too tame for those seeking something truly fiery.

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:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its fresh, clean, and moderate sillage makes it highly appropriate for office and casual settings. While it boasts a sophisticated elegance, its lightness might be overshadowed in very formal evening events or highly intimate dates. It's too refined for active sport.

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

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

A zesty burst of grapefruit and bergamot, underscored by a subtle tingle of pepper and cardamom, ignites the opening. This lively mix soon mellows into a tender rose, given a soft, fruity sweetness from raspberry. The journey concludes on a clean, musky base, maintaining a light and airy feel throughout.
