Van Cleef & Arpels 2010 EDP
Oriens
Van Cleef & Arpels Oriens is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010, created by Bernard Ellena. Oriens opens with Mandarin, Raspberry, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Amber, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Praline. Van Cleef & Arpels's Oriens carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.
A divisive fruitchouli that splits opinion: some hail it as an elegant, grown-up take on Miss Dior Cherie, while others find it too bitter, syrupy and forgettable. Its striking jewel-like bottle promises more than the juice delivers for some.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
Oriens has moderate to strong sillage and good longevity, making it a bit much for the office unless applied sparingly. Its sweet and warm facets with a 'grown up' feel are perfect for dates and formal events, though some find it lacks uniqueness for those settings. It's a bit too refined for casual wear and definitely not suited for sport.
