The Best Of Me

The Best Of Me from Orlov Paris, a feminine fragrance composed by Amélie Jacquin in 2020, is a citrus woody floral with an unusual toasted-grain warmth. Citrus is the main impression for everyone who describes it, most also notice wood and flowers, and a minority find it gourmand.

Mandarin orange, yellow mandarin and bergamot give the opening a bright, juicy, sunny sparkle. In the heart, rose and Pomarose bring a fresh, slightly fruity rose note with an apple-like brightness. The unusual part comes next: barley, bran and sesame add a toasted, nutty, cereal warmth, like warm bread or grain, which explains the gourmand impression. The base is woody and earthy, with patchouli and vetiver giving depth and tonka bean an almond-like sweetness.

It suits women who like fresh fragrances with a cosy, unconventional twist. The citrus and rose make it pleasant for spring and daytime, while the grain and tonka give it warmth for autumn. Those who enjoy toasted, nutty accents in a bright citrus floral should find it distinctive.
