Wild Orange
Wild Orange by Fragrance Du Bois is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with mandarin, lemon, bergamot and sweet orange, moves into lily of the valley, orange blossom and cypress and dries down to cedarwood, patchouli, vetiver and sandalwood. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Sweet Orange Juicy and cheerful. The friendliest citrus there is.
Heart
- Lily of the Valley Clean, green, dewy floral. Reads as 'fresh laundry' to most people.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
- Cypress Cool, green, resinous conifer. Sharp and clean.
Dry-down
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
