By the editors · 2 min read**Fleurs d'Oranger** opens with orange blossom in its most direct form—petals still damp, green stems intact, a faint medicinal edge lingering beneath the sweetness. There's no cushioning here, no vanilla or musk to soften the impact. What you smell is the flower itself, presented with Serge Lutens' characteristic refusal to prettify.
As it settles, a subtle earthiness emerges, grounding the white florals without turning woody or oriental. The bitterness of the leaves balances the nectar, creating a tension that keeps the composition from drifting into bridal soap territory. It's closer to standing in the orchard at dusk than receiving a bouquet.
This suits those who want orange blossom stripped of its usual trappings—no bergamot prologue, no sandalwood epilogue. Just the bloom, photographed in sharp focus, slightly austere but undeniably alive.
