Bitter Orange

Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle

Vétiver Extraordinaire is exactly what its title claims: an intensified study of a single material, built around a concentration of 25% pure Haitian vetiver oil.

Lolita Lempicka

Bitter orange and bergamot open with warm citrus brightness — the bitter orange slightly sharp, bergamot sweet and lifted, both fading as the composition's warmer character takes over.

Giorgio Armani

Code Ultimate Femme is Giorgio Armani's oriental-floral intensification of the Code line — a composition that takes the original's clean structure and adds warmth through strategic use of coffee and oriental base notes.

Comme Des Garçons

A collaboration with style icon Daphne Guinness, and it reads accordingly: theatrical, intensely personal, and far more daring than anything commercially motivated.

Jeanne En Provence

Lemon opens cleanly — not sharp or synthetic, closer to the zested rind before it softens into blood orange's slightly sweeter, more rounded citrus.

L'Artisan Parfumeur

Mandarina Corsica begins where you would expect it to: mandarin orange and bitter orange in a bright, slightly waxy citrus opening that is neither sharp nor sweet, simply citrus-forward and particular.

Les Liquides Imaginaires

Louise Turner constructs Beauté du Diable around the eugenol molecule — the compound that links clove and carnation in their shared spicy warmth.

Carolina Herrera

Carlos Benaïm and Clement Gavarry construct Carolina around an unusual heart placement: black pepper in the middle of the composition alongside rose and forest fruits, where the spice sits as a structural element rather than an opening gambit.

Joop!
