Orlov Paris Fancy Red is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Fancy Red opens with Bergamot, Bitter Orange, Mandarin, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Akigalawood, Cedar, and Amberwood. Orlov Paris's Fancy Red carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some find it a pleasant, if uninspired, woody-citrus floral, while others pick up on a dominant, synthetic woodiness akin to laundry detergent. Definitely not for everyone's taste.

Its moderate projection and fresh, clean character make it a decent pick for casual wear or the office, as it won't overpower. However, the divisive synthetic wood note means it might not be the best choice for events where you want universal appeal.

About

Fancy Red opens with a vibrant burst of bitter orange and mandarin, spiced up with a hint of pink pepper for a lively start. As it settles, a floral heart of jasmine and ylang-ylang merges with a clean, woody base of cedar and akigalawood, rounded off by a touch of amber. It aims for a mix of fresh citrus and soft florals on a woody foundation.
