1. Cairo Eau de Parfum – Penhaligon’s

Review
Established in 1870, Penhaligon’s is an English perfume house which began life as a barbershop. Their first fragrance, Hammam Bouquet, was launched in 1872 and was inspired by the neighbouring Turkish bath which gave off sulfurous steam.
Penhaligon’s Cario is in keeping with Penhaligon’s love of themed perfumery and was designed to call to mind the ancient city of Cairo with its fragrant open-air markets.
An exquisite oriental perfume with woody and floral notes, this fragrance has a heart of Damascan rose, which is macerated by woods and spices of cedar and sandalwood. The smokey base of patchouli is lifted with delicate saffron and sweetened by vanilla.
In short, this is a complicated and opulent perfume which brings sensuality to cool autumn and winter nights. With strong sillage and incredible staying power or 7+ hours, this fragrance is capable of keeping up with the most demanding day.

4. Tresor En Or Eau de Parfum – Lancome

Review
Few names in perfumery balance renown with respect in quite the same way that Lancôme does. Founded by Armand Petitjean in 1935, this is a brand whose symbol, the rose, was inspired by the roses which surrounded the castle it was named for.
Limited edition Tresor en Or is a classic floral oriental perfume for women with undertones of leather ensuring that it stands apart from the crowd. Opens with soft peach before moving to a floral bouquet of jasmine, rose, and peony. This fragrance has a heady oriental musky base which makes it warm and enduring.

5. The One Eau de Parfum – Dolce & Gabbana

Review
are one of the most instantly recognisable designer names in the world today. Founded in 1985 by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana they made a name for themselves with their provocative style. This flash of seductive glamour has remained consistent throughout the life of the brand.
The One is an indulgent and fruity oriental scent that is fit for an elegant woman of substance. Someone who truly draws the eye and mind to her.
The initial burst is juicy and sweet. Plum, orange and peach all make an appearance to engage with the sharper citrus of bergamot. A floral heart of jasmine and Lily-of-the-valley unfurls slowly as the heat of the body activates the musky and sweet base notes. Perfect for springtime with reasonable longevity of 5+ hours and light sillage.

6. Ange ou Demon Eau de Parfum – Givenchy

Review
Founded in 1952, Givenchy has a unique approach to perfumery. Blending French elegance and American glamour with expertise that is truly breathtaking. The style that the put forth was best modelled by Audrey Hepburn.
Ange ou Demon is one of the finest, in our eyes. Sweet and woody with a deceptively clean scent it mirrors the bottle that holds it. Balsamic at first, this aromatic oriental perfume blooms with orchid, lily and buttery ylang-ylang. A sweet vanilla undertone makes it almost girlish once it settles. The base of creamy rosewood and dense oak moss make it sophisticated and somewhat androgynous when the full force is in effect.
An ideal warming scent for winter days, it is not as long-lasting as some oriental scents with 5+ hours, although sillage is good.
Top Notes:
Thyme, Saffron, Mandarin Orange
Mid Notes:
Ylang-Ylang, Orchid, Lily
Base Notes:
Oakmoss, Brazilian Rosewood, Vanilla, Tonka Bean

7. Good Girl Légère Eau de Parfum – Carolina Herrera

Review
Venezuelan-born American designer Carolina Herrera launched her self-named brand in 1980, and her chic style quickly gained her acclaim across the world. Her first fragrance, the truly eponymous Carolina Herrera Eau de Parfum was launched in 1988. Since then she has released 133 perfumes in collaboration with some of the most talented perfumers of the age.
Opens with a trio of citrus notes (lemon, bergamot and orange). Floral notes of ylang-ylang, rose, jasmine and tuberose bloom nicely. These florals entwine with an eclectic mix of oriental spices that prevents it from becoming too saccharine. Tonka bean and ylang-ylang are the stars of the show.
A grown-up version of the original Good Girl perfume, this is an incredibly complex scent with a mind-boggling list of notes. Despite this, the final product is coherent and beautiful.
Good Girl Légère embodies Carolina Herrera’s unadulterated chic from its presentation to its scent. The elongated bottle, shaped like a high-heeled shoe, is sophisticated and dynamically coloured in golds, blues, and blacks.
This is a versatile scent that can be worn at any time. It’s long-lasting at 6+ hours with medium sillage. Certainly one for the collection.
Top Notes:
Lemon, Bergamot, Mandarin Orange, Ylang-Ylang
Mid Notes:
Orange Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, Tuberose
Base Notes:
Cashmirwood, Musk, Amber, Cedar, Cinnamon, Praline, Sandalwood, Tonka Bean

8. Viva La Juicy Bowdacious Eau de Parfum – Juicy Couture

Review
A wonder brand of the early 2000s, Juicy Couture, is best known for their tracksuits. Favouring a vibrant, fun, and very 00s style, they moved into perfumes in 2006 and since then have released 42. The majority are somewhat saccharine, but all are pleasant.
Viva La Juicy is both very typical of Juicy Couture and a little more grown-up, despite its Disney princess-esque bottle. The oversized bow that adorns its neck embodies the ‘Juicy’ style.
The scent itself opens sweetly with hints of pear, melon and coconut. Floral notes of Tiare flower, jasmine and lily bloom beautifully. They are balanced by the creamy/vanilla scent of tonka bean and sharp, almost bitter orange.
Upon dry-down, this fragrance becomes more focused on coconut, tonka bean and Tiare flower with hints of ginger. Far better than I was expecting.
Moderate longevity of 4+ hours and moderate sillage requires the perfume to be re-applied more often. Viva La Juicy is a sophisticated fragrance and a perfect introduction to oriental-floral scents.
Top Notes:
Melon, Pear, Italian Mandarin
Mid Notes:
Jasmine Sambac, White Ginger, Lily, Tiare Flower
Base Notes:
Drift Wood Tonka Bean, Coconut Milk

9. Casablanca Lily Eau de Parfum – Byredo

Review
Byredo, founded by Ben Gorham in 2006, has already made a name for itself. Influenced by his mixed Indian and French-Canadian heritage, Gorham has created some of the most exciting and unique perfumes on the market today. With 57 perfumes in their portfolio, Byredo continues to grow and consistently produces superior perfumes.
Casablanca Lily is striking; strong notes of gardenia, carnation and tuberose hit the nose first, followed by the dark sweetness of honey and plum. Upon dry-down, the freshly cut woody smell of rosewood is delightful.
Presented in the typical Byredo bottle, Casablanca Lily is enduring with a light sillage and a pleasantly warm scent which can be worn at any time of day or year with confidence. There are few perfumes which can boast the same.
Top Notes:
Gardenia, Plum
Mid Notes:
Indian Tuberose, Carnation
Base Notes:
Rosewood, Honey

10. 500 Years Eau de Parfum – Etat Libre d’Orange

Review
A relatively fresh-faced perfume house, Etat Libre d’Orange was founded in 2006 by Etienne de Swardt with the motto “le parfum est mort, vive le parfum!” – perfume is dead, long live perfume!
His fragrances are a celebration of sensuality and desire. All of their scents are unisex in nature, though specific do tend to lean slightly towards one gender or the other.
500 Years is one of Etat Libre d’Orange’s truly androgynous fragrances. Opens with zesty bergamot, but soon becomes a warm, spicy, and complex combination of rose, cacao and woody notes making this a true cold-weather fragrance. Incredible how a few select notes can create such a masterful oriental floral fragrance. Highly recommended.
Contained in a beautiful bottle that is emblazoned with their ornate logo, this bottle has a gold-toned topper that finished the look perfectly. Simple and effective, this scent relies on high-quality ingredients to create a layered and blooming fragrance. This is an incredibly durable fragrance with 8+ hours of longevity and enormous sillage.
Top Notes:
Bergamot
Mid Notes:
Cacao, Rose
Base Notes:
Woody Notes

– Soft Oriental
The soft-oriental group of fragrances are less intense than the standard oriental category. Soft oriental fragrances tend to use milder spices such as cinnamon and clove with warming tones of amber.
– Oriental
A classic oriental fragrance tends to be sweet and warm. Rich and sometimes overwhelming, this type of fragrance often made with the notes like cinnamon, myrrh, anise, vanilla, and, of course, musk. The results are opulent and heady. The most famous examples of this include Obsession by Calvin Klein and Joop by Joop!

Oriental woody fragrances fuse the warm opulence of woody perfumes and the rich spiciness of the oriental palette.
