Floral Oriental

Floral Oriental perfumes are becoming a popular fragrance group. They retain the feminine charm of traditional floral perfume but the oriental undertones of these complex fragrances give a deeper and more sensual base to their lighter floral counterparts. Floral Oriental Fragrances tend to be fragrances for women and not men due to their softer, more feminine edge.

Floral Oriental fragrances and perfumes are soft, spicy and distinctly feminine. Many of these perfumes for women contain spicy orange flower, mixed with tart Aldehydes and sweet oriental spices. Other popular combinations are rich amber notes, blended with green tones and white flowers, such as Jasmine and Magnolia. Some even take hypnotic blends of oriental resins, night-blooming flowers, musks and vanilla and mix them with the scent of freshly cut flowers.

In this manner they represent a diverse and rich fragrance group. Some Floral Oriental Perfumes are light and bright throughout with a rich oriental base, such as Lancome Poeme, Cacheral Eden and Emporio Armani She/Elle, while some a much deeper and more Oriental throughout, lightened with white flowers and cut grasses, such as Guerlain Samsara, Van Cleef Perfume and Chanel Allure Perfume. Others contain powdery flowers, over an oriental base, such as Vivienne Westwood Boudoir, while many recently have sweeter fruits, vanilla and rose, over the traditional floral oriental notes, for example Valentino Rock N Rose, Valentino V, Givenchy Ange ou Demon and Guerlain Insolence perfume.

Floral Oriental Fragrances for women first appeared in the early 1900’s and quickly became one of the most popular fragrance categories of the first few decades of that century. They became unfashionable in the 1930’s but by the 1970’s this fragrance category had enjoyed a revival to become a staple of most people’s fragrance wardrobe.
