Orlov Paris Flame of Gold is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Dominique Ropion. Flame of Gold opens with Musk and Amber, settles into a heart of Cedar and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Leather and Vanilla. Orlov Paris's Flame of Gold carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

This is a seriously opulent wear that oozes luxury and gets noticed. Some find it a mindblowing masterpiece, while others are left cold by its strong leather and cedar. Definitely not a safe blind buy, and be warned - apparent reformulations have caused a stir among fans.

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:
Fall
Also Works:
Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its 'monster sillage' and long-lasting nature, Flame of Gold is too intense for office wear, though it would shine on a date or at a formal event. Its rich, enveloping accords are more suited for cooler weather and dressier occasions than casual or 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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Flame of Gold ignites with a sophisticated blend of warm amber and soft musk, setting a luxurious tone. As it settles, a rich, earthy patchouli emerges, woven through with the dry, distinguished scent of cedar. The base deepens into a plush leather, smoothed by a creamy vanilla finish, creating a cocooning, warm, and highly sensual experience that lasts for ages.
