Parfums de Marly Oriana by Steven©

Parfums de Marly Oriana is the newest in the collection and is a sweet and sensuous treat for the nose composed by perfumers Nathalie Lorson and Hamid Merati-Kashani. Before we watch Steven Gavrielatos, Contributing Video Journalist review we asked Firmenich master perfumers Nathalie Lorson (she composed Parfums de Marly (Meloria ‘Michelyn’s favorite’ and Sedbury) and Hamid Merati-Kashani (Layton, Percival, Akaster, Pegasus) to share their inspirations and insights.

What was the creative process for Parfums de Marly Oriana?

Nathalie Lorson: We worked on a new, very modern, ultra-feminine addiction with indulgent undertones.

Hamid Merati-Kashani: Creative Director Julien Sprecher had a very specific vision of the olfactory nature and appearance of the fragrance.  Parfums de Marly Oriana is a full-body fragrance that adds a new dimension to the Parfums de Marly collection.

How do you imagine the Oriana woman?

Hamid Merati-Kashan:i Spontaneous, dynamic and unpredictable.

Nathalie Lorson: Modern, full of life and adventurous.

Tell us about the key ingredients in Parfums de Marly Oriana:

Nathalie Lorson: Oriana is inspired by chantilly cream, for the first time combined with marshmallow. Its sensuality is expressed by an orange blossom from Morocco, of exceptional quality – like the ingredients of the citrus top notes – mandarin and bergamot from Italy, harvested by the best producers in the world. The heart of the perfume is based on red fruits (raspberry and black currant), which add a tangy, sparkling, joyful note. The musk base adds volume that combines with the marshmallow to give even more power and sensuality.

Steven Gavrielatos, Contributing Video Journalist received a bottle of Oriana, opinions are his own

TOP NOTES: Mandarin, Bergamot, Grapefruit; HEART NOTES: Orange blossom, Blackcurrant, Raspberry, BASE NOTES: Marshmallow, Ambrette, Chantilly cream, Musk

  • Steven as always has done an awesome job! what i loved the most about this fragrance is its note composition which reminds me of bittersweet gummies candies strips with the sugar on top and its musky drydown seems very intriguing.
    From NYC, USA
    Favorite parfums de Marly is delina exclusif.

  • Steven is who I gravitate towards for any fragrance review. He’s very informative, thorough and passionate. The best! Raspberry and cream sounds amazing. I want to smell this on my fiancé. My favorite from the house so far is Layton. A modern masterpiece. Thanks for the draw. From Indianapolis, Indiana.

  • Steven’s reviews are always honest and descriptive! It gives me a sense of what to expect before I am able to get my nose on the fragrance he’s reviewing. From this article, I was excited to read that Nathalie Lorson said that Oriana is inspired by chantilly cream, for the first time combined with marshmallow. I had no clue what chantilly cream was, but after looking it up, I think I will want to eat this perfume! My current favorite is Herod, but a close second is Delina!

  • I enjoyed the fragrance notes talk in Steven’s YouTube review. Raspberry and cream are the most interesting for me. I live in Poland, EU. Layton is my favorite Parfums de Marly fragrance.

  • Maria Guttierres says:

    *What I enjoyed: I always enjoy Steven specificity when it comes to his reviews. He describes fragrances in a very detailed way to the point that I can usually say “yay” or “nay” by the end of the video. In terms of the perfumers, I love the idea that even though this seems to be a more sweet/gourmandish fragrance, there is a level of maturity and elegance to it versus being a cloying fragrance.

    *Location: FL

    *Fave PDM: Delina hands down.

  • I like how Steven lets us know that the sugary sweetness and opening citrus notes balance each other out, not that I was worried, but there is definitely a subset of perfume lovers who would immediately dismiss this one as “juvenile” based on the sugary descriptions. Admittedly, I still loooove a sugary gourmand scent, and likely always will! I like this perfume house – particularly the perfumes Cassili, Delina and Meliora – and I think Oriana will be another one I can add to my Parfums de Marly favorites list! Excited about this draw, for sure!
    In Louisiana USA.

  • Steven’s description of the top notes was is helpful because I am a huge orange blossom fan. The combination of citrus, white floral and gourmand sounds very pretty. I have only tried Delina and I’d love to try more from this house. TX, USA

  • Very curious about this balanced gourmand, seems to be both sparkling and indulgently sweet, the melange of citrusy , orange blossom and sugary lactonic notes , mouthwatering!Thanks for the draw and Steven’s review, from Romania with love!

  • Steven’s reviews are always so informative and thorough. Chantilly cream in a fragrance sounds so yummy and I absolutely can’t wait to smell Nathalie and Hamid’s creation. I live in sunny FL and my favorite Parfums de Marly fragrances are Delina & Layton.

  • Hello Steven, Nathalie,Almid, and Cafleurebon family. I’m digging this one. All the notes Feminine and Male. Raspberry, Marshmallow Chantilly and the cool weather is coming. I would love to have this. PDM I don’t own one. Stay safe and God bless

  • dextercharles85 says:

    After reading the words of the two perfumers and watching Steven’s review, Oriana sound fantastic. How Steven spoke about the opening citrus and orange blossom combo in which Ms. Lorsen mentioned expresses the scents sensuality. How the fruity mid leads to that an even more sensual and powerful musky, marshmallow & chantily cream base was amazing. Hamid Merati-Kashani saying Oriana is personified as spontaneous, dynamic and unpredictable…just amazing! I’m a gourmand fan and I trust Stevens opinion and have enjoyed many of Ms. Lorsen’s and Merati-Kashani’s creations, Percival, PDM specifically which is my favorite. I’m excited to smell and potentially own and wear Oriana here in Tampa, FL.

  • I love that fact that although Nathalie wanted an ultra feminine scent, Steven said it was totally unisex. I like that versatility and I also love black currant! I live in Bozeman, Montana USA and right now my favorite PDM is Safanad. I also own Delina, Meliora and Athalia.

  • Martha Martin says:

    Steven’s Oriana review was great and full of all the info that fragrance lovers want to hear. He’s so talented in his reviews and really makes the listener want to sample whatever he’s reviewing. His note breakdowns are clear and his authentic personality really shines through. He’s the real deal, very trustworthy and sweet!
    I have the original Delina as well as Athalia. I also have several samples of some of the other Parfum de Marly fragrances. So far, my absolute favorite is Delina, no doubt about it.

  • Bringing you my comment from my home in Los Angeles. I really enjoyed the comprehensiveness and thoroughness of Steven’s review. I appreciate how he covered the perfumers who composed the scent, the development of the notes, and the different accords. I also really liked how he organized his reviews by the fragrance’s uniqueness, longevity, projection, versatility, bottle presentation, and final verdict. The delicious adjectives he used to describe the scent and his explanations of the nuances in the whipped cream and citrus accords really brought this fragrance to life even though I have never smelled it. It’s also interesting to know that this fragrance is suitable for men as well. My favorite Parfums de Marly perfume is Delina.

  • I agree with Steven s that a man can wear it as it contain musk with orange blossom can really works and for perfumer s review that they use top quality orange blossom and other note, it will make top fragrance for this year from Marly. My favorite marly fragrance is Herod the old version. I am in Sweden EU

  • What really attracts my attention of this perfume is the combination of Chantilly cream and marshmallow accords with raspberry to create an ultra-feminine fragrance.
    Gourmand perfumes are my favorite!
    As to Steven’s review, I love how well structured his videos are. He explains the perfumes so well it is easy to imagine how they smell.
    My favorite Parfums de Marly fragrance is Delina (the original perfume).
    I am from Spain.

  • This sounds like a delicious adventurous fluffy dream. Thank you Steven for being so consistent in your reviews on these new releases. You are definitely someone I can count on. My favorite Perfume de Marley fragrance to date would have to be between Herod & Delina. Sending love
    & thanks from Rhode Island, USA.

  • That was a great review, a full description expressed with great passion. The fragrance by itself seems to be amazing, Citrus, Chantilly, Marshmallow with a musky drydrown, it is a gourmand dream. The only Parfum de Marly that I could try is Delina La Rosée, but I am looking forward to try other from this house. From EU

  • Steven always delivers and brings his enthusiasm through. I would like to smell this, I’d like to even eat something like this. I have a great candidate for wearing this fragrance, fitting Ms Lorson’s vision.

    I have not had my own Parfums de Marly fragrance yet, maybe now?

    Greetings from Luxembourg, EU.

  • Steven’s reviews are honest and accurate. The notes are very beautiful more modern than the others. RASPBERRY and Cream. Love the idea it’s a new dimension for PDM. My favorite is the original Delina. Thank you for this Chance. USA

  • I love the Steve is always honest about his reviews. He will review mens, women’s a d unisex scents. I can trust him to be unbiased. Im excited about this perfume because I’m a gourmand perfume lover and I gravitate towards sweeter scents. My favorite PDM scent is Delina and I live in New York

  • Mohamed Tarek Ahmed says:

    The review was very well balanced, I’m excited to try it, I would to love to get my hands on the Parfums dr Marley quality on this genre of sickly sweet yet balanced combination like Love, don’t be shy by Kilian.

    Kentucky, US

  • I love that the video did not compare this fragrance to others but took the time to evaluate it on its own. I can’t wait to experience the Chantilly cream and marshmallow combined with orange blossom and raspberries, and the musk to give it depth, it sounds heavenly! Favourite Parfums de Marly perfume is going to be this one I think! I don’t have any to date but hope to get this one done day!
    From Huntsville, Ontario, Canada.
    Thanks for the draw 🙂

  • Jamie Truesdale says:

    Sounds absolutely lovely .I would love it. Ok l have never tried Parfums de Marly. I have enjoyed Stevens YouTube channel for about 5 years now. I love fragrance an unisex scents are some of my favorites.I live in Forest Grove Oregon USA

  • MarkMarkMark678 says:

    I really enjoyed Stevens breakdowns of the notes for this fragrance and I’m really glad to hear him see he believes that this could be a unisex offering because I did buy my wife Delena Exclusif but I enjoy wearing it myself as well.
    Nathalie referred to this fragrance as ultra feminine, but I’ve learned if a fragrance speaks to me then I have no issues wearing it. I’m also glad to hear that they’re sourcing such high-quality materials from morocco and Italy.
    I live in Houston Texas and my favorite PDM might be a tossup between Oajan and Layton Exclusif

  • I was waiting for Steven’s review on this one! The marshmallow, Chantilly cream notes really interested me. I’ve been looking for a perfume with these notes that isn’t Love by Killian. Steven’s explanation of the sweetness and lactonic quality of this one with the citrus notes really sold me on Oriana! I also like his discussion of versatility as I was wondering if this one could be enjoyed throughout the cooler weather here in LA. Sounds like a gorgeous feminine scent that I could wear year round here.

    Location: Los Angeles, CA

    My favorite Parfums de Marly perfume is Delina and I wear it almost every day. I love sweet, fruity, floral scents and I would love to win this bottle of Oriana! Thanks Steven for such an amazing review. <3

  • Steven’s video on Orianna was again true to form. He’s articulate and usually very passionate about his description of fragrances. I have been a subscriber of his channel about 4 years now and counting. His content made me go out and blind buy several fragrances that I own now for e.g. Herod by Parfums de Marly (PdM) and More than Words by Xerjoff just to name a few. I am a personal fan of PdM fragrances and do own a few from the male and female lines as I see no gender in fragrances. Cassili and Delina are to die for, as is Oajan, Layton Exclusif and Carlisle. I expect Orianna not to fall short of the PdM’s DNA or quality and I can’t wait to smell it. I’m excited to smell like an edible marshmallow ha ha ha. My address are in Ft. Lauderdale and Miami, Folrida.

  • Gustavo ramirez says:

    Great review,

    I’m from florida, what I enjoyed about Steven’s YouTube review is he not only mentions the notes of the fragrance but also mentions how these notes interact with the fragrance and what it can come across to ones nose. He not only tries to review the fragrance, but educate his viewers as well.

    What I enjoy about the perfumers’ insights is they provide information from were the ingredients are sourced, making the description of the fragrance sound that much more luxurious.

    My current favorite Parfums de Marly fragrance is Carlisle

  • DulciusExAsperis says:

    Thanks to this site for introducing me to Steven’s reviews, which are always really informative without a lot of extra filler. I covet his fragrance collection! I don’t currently own any raspberry fragrances, I’m eager to get my nose on this one. My current fave from the house is Cassili, I would LOVE to have the chance to win Oriana. I’m in Cali, USA.

  • Being inspired by chantilly cream is really interesting. Steven mentioned how the musky tone of the blackcurrant bridges the heart and base which is also fascinating to me. I live in Canada and my favorite PdM is Layton.

  • I always enjoy Steven’s thorough reviews! I feel He is so well spoken and passionate about fragrance. I’m excited to be able to finally smell this fragrance. Mostly looking forward to the raspberry and chantilly cream accords. My favorite Parfums de Marly is Delina. I’m from Portland, OR. Thank you!

  • I did not know that black currant could pull musky according to Steven. And I was excited to hear that although this was designed to be ultra feminine it could be unisex too. I do not own any Parfume de Marle scents but they are on my list. In maryland.

  • My favorite PdMs are Delina (I even created a cocktail dedicated to it with Lychee, candied pear and Rhubarb). I also love my Sedburry, Layton and Herod (last 2 being targeted as fragrances for men, but I’m wearing them confidently). I liked how Steven presented visually notes of Oriana, that made it easy to understand perfume’s notes and structure. I live in Denmark Buying this one anyway – win or not

  • artisticdanger says:

    Very beautiful description the notes sounds so delicious especially the interesting note inspired by the chantilly cream. Congratulations on this masterpiece. I’ve been a subscriber to steven for years now and i can honestly vouch on that man’s nose. He’s very descriptive about each notes and goes really indepht on each scents. My favorite from the Parfums De Marly line is First Kiss exclusive, because of that beautiful creaminess. Congratulations again!!

  • I love that Steven id so detailed. He doesn’t miss a beat with describimg a fragrance. The perfumers make me want to dive into a tub of cream with deliciousness and cover myself in this spectacular sounding fragrance. I live in Fl and so far my favorite is Athalia but I only own 2 so far.

  • This sounds very nice! Please count me in for this draw as I have never tested anything from this house and I am really curious.

    I am in Europe. Thanks!

  • Nathalie Lorson has some interesting creations and I like her style. I am sure Oriana will be a hit as it has some killer combinations going on – musk, raspberry, blackcurrant, marshmallow, Chantilly cream.
    Many thanks!

  • What I enjoyed about Steven’s review of Oriana is his in depth description which left me feeling like I could smell the fragrance through my phone. I also enjoyed the perfumers’ insights on using chantilly cream as an inspiration. Ultra-feminine fragrances often smell vintage and I am excited about this modern take on a sweet fragrance.
    I live in Texas, USA
    My favorite Parfums de Marly fragrance is Delina Exclusif.
    I do subscribe to Redolessence, my YouTube name is “Cool Beans”.
    Good luck to everyone 🙂

  • I always enjoy Steven’s video’s. To the point, and the blind buys I did following his descriptions were always exactly how I pictured the scent. He can make a fragrance sound tasty and make you hungry for it.

  • So wish I can win this , i never win anything in my life . Steven is the best in the domain . Him and Carlos put me into that journey .

  • Eli Ardoretto says:

    I love when Steven gives insight on all notes with not only listing them but also explaining what to expect, which accords are stronger than others and in general his charisma always make reviews interesting. I love sweet scents and I’m really excited for this one. For now I think my favourite is Delina but for sure Oriana have huge potential in my eyes! Greetings from UK

  • I love every reaction Steven does but in particular this one was amazing. He really made this fragrance sound exotic and intoxicating which is what I love. Also, from reading the notes I can tell this is an very feminine fragrance which is rare these days. Even if I were not chosen to win id still buy at least a sample to try it.

  • Steven is always so informative in his reviews. I am a gourmand lover, so the fact that he reiterated that gourmand lovers will enjoy Oriana has made me want to try this fragrance even more! I appreciate that the perfumers strived to create a modern yet ultra feminine fragrance, and the notes they chose are right up my alley. My current favorite PDM is Cassili, with Delina Exclusif a close second. CA, USA.

  • What I enjoyed about Stevens review: I really enjoyed how he described how the notes played off each other, such as the muskiness of black currant paired with musk base notes. I also like that as a man he is not afraid to wear something that may seem feminine.

    What I enjoy about the perfumers’ insights: I am really just excited to smell the tanginess of the fruit notes paired with softness and airiness of the marshmallow and chantilly cream, as well as the perfume being described as spontaneous and dynamic as that is how I see myself. This perfume has everything I could ask for based on the notes!

    Where im from: Philadelphia PA USA

    My favorite PDM fragrance: Delina and meliora are my two favorites

  • Steven has a way with words and can describe a fragrance to where anyone can understand. I live in St. Petersburg, FL and love to wear Sedley

  • Enjoyed Steven’s review. Especially the fact that he stated it might be more unisex than anticipated. Will have to try it.

  • Great interview & review! ❤️ The Chantilly cream base in Oriana is intriguing. Steven has explained something to me that is quite helpful: in fragrance, the black current note is rather musky, not sweet! Cassis was the scent profile I kept expecting, and have been confused in the past by that note. Thank you, Steven! Parfums de Marly has been on my list to sample for quite a while, thank you CaFleurBon, for the quality check. If it’s good enough to be featured here, then I have confidence to try these scents! While I have not had the chance to experience any Parfums de Marly fragrances, I am excited for the opportunity to win, thank you! USA

  • Sounds like a full-on gourmand. Interesting to hear that it could be unisex – Delina is such a delight, but a little too feminine for me to wear. I’m sure this one won’t disappoint. Looking forward to sampling.

    Greetings from the US.

  • Dorethea Williams says:

    Stephens video was very informative as always, he breaks the notes down and says how they complimented each other. I love how Hamid and Natalie chose different scents and they all come together as one fragrance. My name is Dorethea Williams and I’m from Michigan, I have never tried Parfums De Marly fragrances, I have heard great reviews on them especially Layton

  • I enjoyed Steven’s review, because he went in depth about the notes, the longevity, etc. He is always very thorough in his reviews. I enjoyed how the perfumers explained how it was inspired, and how an Oriana woman is imagined!

    I live in Orlando, Florida. My favorite Perfums de Marley scent is Oajan.

  • Great article and review. I love how in depth and passionate you are about fragrance! I am a fragrance junkie and love seeing reviews. Your review and article explain how the Oriana fragrance and its gorgeous notes of citrus, raspberry, currant, orange blossom and chantilly cream came about and I am super anxious to try it. It sounds phenomenal. Thanks so much for all the information. Much appreciated.

  • My fav scent from pdm is habdan. Oriana seems interesting even though it is a feminen fragrance. Steven described in as a unisex
    sweet fruity fragrance with some gourmand touches

    i am in EU

  • michelejenae says:

    Steven really knows how to educate and entice and I surely am over this one! As a gourmand girl, this just seems so dreamy and winning this beautiful bottle would definitely be a dream come true. Delina Exclusif is already such a heavy hitter for the community, I just KNOW this is going to be such a sensorium experience! So happy this is being offered in a giveaway because I would sure love to experience this one, as it would be my first niche fragrance in my collection! From Los Angeles, CA

  • Interesting to read this was inspired by Chantilly Cream. Great to hear from Steven that it has good performance and that it’s super versatile. Fabulous looking bottle as well. Favorite PDM fragrance is currently Herod.

  • Thank you for a fabulous review Steven! I enjoyed hearing about the collaboration between Nathalie Lorson and Hamid Merati-Kashani. It sounds like they both contributed their talents to form a delicious perfume. The notes in Oriana sound divine. I am a huge gourmand lover and look forward to trying this! Thank you to Nathalie and Hamid for going all in on the ultra feminine marshmallow vibe. I can tell by the notes alone this will be in my top 10 favorite fragrances list. ~Indiana, USA

  • What I enjoyed about Steven’s YouTube review and the perfumers’ insights is the fact that orange blossom is the shining star in Oriana and that it is a full-body fragrance that adds a new dimension to the Parfums de Marly collection.
    I live in Portugal, Rua Santana de Parnaíba Bloco 116 1º direito interior, Serpa/Street Santana de Parnaíba number 116 first interior right, Serpa-7830-449.
    My favorite Parfums de Marly fragrance is Delina.

  • The berries in this sound indulgent. Sweet and sour. Steven is very knowledgable and good at describing scents. I am unfamiliar with Hamid’s work but Nathalie is one of the most consistent perfumers alive. I have faith that this will be on par with Delina, another great feminine from this house.
    I live in Denmark, EU.

  • Not a big fan of gourmand perfumes, but with Steven’s review and Parfums de marly name behind Parfums de Marly Oriana, it seems to worth trying. Orange blossom, musk, grapefruit – they all sound lovely, and are present a lot in many modern perfumes, but the way they are blended makes a difference, and I am sure the experienced perfumers have done a great job of it. Am a Redolessence subscriber. Thanks for the review and draw. From USA.

  • Steven says Oriana has what you may call a whipped cream accord. It has grapefruit and pear and ends on what is a gourmand vibe. Steven says it will even appeal to those who are hesitant to wear any of the ones in the Delina line. The ones I have tried, I like Layton the most. I am in US.

  • What I enjoyed about Steven’s YouTube review and the perfumers’ insights is that orange blossom is the shining star in Oriana and that it adds a new dimension to the Parfums de Marly collection.
    I live in Serpa, Portugal.
    My favorite Parfums de Marly fragrance is Delina.

  • I love that Steven described this as gourmand which right off the bat catches my attention! Whipped cream, chantilly cream, marshmallow..oh yes! As of yet I don’t have a favorite Parfums de Marley fragrance, but the way Steven describes it, this could be the one! I am in New York. Thank you.

  • Catherine Davis says:

    Enthusiastic review from Steven. I appreciated a few specific comments,
    “Gorgeous bottle traffic stopping color! ““Gourmand, citrusy, slightly floral” I look forward to the Chantilly cream accord. I love Natalie’s other creations and want to learn mote about Hamid!
    My favorite PDM fragrance is Carlisle! I love Meloria for women too, although its hard to find .

    Fully expecting Oriana to be a trademark fragrance for me!! – Nashville, TN

  • I love how Steven was specific about the notes and how the uniqueness of the combination of Chantilly Cream and marshmallow, which is a enticing combination of sweet and fluffy. He seemed very joyful about this new scent and said that it was inclusive for anyone to wear. I love that the Perfumers wanted to create a scent that was super modern, seductive and feminine fragrance for a dynamic spontaneous woman. The notes in this scent sound amazing. My fave PDM scent is Harrod and I live in the US.

  • First thing, this bottle is gorgeous!! The color of the bottle makes me think that this fragrance is vibrate and bold. Steven said the projection and longevity was great so this sounds like a fragrance that both you and others around you will notice for hours after the initial spray. Oriana sounds so delicious.

    Interesting how Nathalie describes it as modern and “ultra feminine” yet to Stevens nose, it can be unisex. This makes it even more intriguing to me because it might be a good one for my fiancé and I to share! He likes gourmand fragrances and I love creamy, fluffy, fruity with a slight edge type of scents.

    My favorite PDM fragrance is Cassili followed behind Safanad

  • Kenneth Hohbach says:

    Herod is my favorite from the house. Steven always does great reviews. His description of the musky accords remind me of other fragrances that I enjoy. This sounds like a great unisex offering. I live in the USA, Washington state.

  • Hi my wife is perfect for Oriana she’s been working with special needs kids for 15 year & when Nathalia said this fragrance is modern full of life and adventurous I said yep that is her she brings life to there world at work and off work. Steven is second to none the way he explains everything makes you feel like you are right there with him smelling it too hands down he’s the

  • Jolee Sadder Miller says:

    I really enjoyed Steven‘s review of Oriana. What I appreciated most was he mentioned it was unisex, and I think looking people would subconsciously or consciously judge it to be extremely feminine just by looking at the bottle. I liked that both of the perfumers described the fragrance wearer as a modern dynamic spontaneous individual, which makes the fragrance feel like it has some depth to the chantilly cream deliciousness. Thank you for the wonderful review, and write up, excited at the potential for this wonderful giveaway! 🙂 Jolee- Seattle Washington

  • Ahzrudin Abdool says:

    I’ve always loved Steven’s videos about perfumes.i especially love the fact of how in depth he goes their individual descriptive nature,you’d swear he actually had a hand i their creation.
    My favorite of the house is Layton but the sound of raspberry which I love by the way,mixed with marshmallow gets the mind fluttering.
    I’m from Trinidad and Tobago .

  • What I enjoyed about Stevens review was that he said it featured a marshmallow note. And the perfumers insight that I liked was that Nathalie said the marshmallow note has power and is sensual. From Oklahoma City Oklahoma USA favorite parfums de marly is Percival

  • Great review, I have to say I commend Steven for promoting the unisexuality of this fragrence. As someone who has not smelled it yet, I cant wait to see how the candy notes meld!
    Posting from Portland, OR, USA

  • Who would ever think this is a unisex fragrance? But Redo says so. Curious to see for myself.
    My fans I own are Delina and Herod
    USA

  • I love that perfumers went for an ultra fem fragrance and also the Steven said Men can totally rock this scent! Chantilly Cream! Sign me up for this! My favorite PDM is a tie…Athalia and Delina Exclusive.

    I love how Steven is straight to the point and how well he describes the fragrances. Orange flower is one of my favorite notes in fragrance, I have no doubt I’ll love this and hope to win!

  • I watch Steven’s videos for years and he is very competent and knowledgeable reviewer. I love colour of this bottle, it will look amazing as a nail polish lol. Quality of Parfume de Marly is very high. I don’t know lots of PDM fragrances, but I really enjoyed Cassili. Greetings from Ontario, Canada.

  • Enjoyed Steven’s breakdown of the notes and pointing out the lactonic notes in the base. Sounds like quite the “ultra-feminine addiction with indulgent undertones” as Lorson calls out! Hard to pick a favorite from Parfums De Marly between Carlisle and Delina since they’re so different.

    From MD, USA

  • I want in on the giveaway! I love Steven’s reviews, he’s so knowledgeable and honest. I’m in Miami and my current fave PDM is Layton Exclusive

  • Laqueria Brisco says:

    I am a PDM Fan and I have been stalking Saks and the PDM site for new Gem. I currently own Delina, Delina Exclusif and have sent over the discovery set to a few friends. I love the video, I loved that he was excited about it. The projection last for about 8 hours it is dynamite for the first hour and a half. Stephen thinks it could be unisex and the bright bottle is a projection fo what we are going to get. Don’t over spray lol like with most PDMs. I subscribed to Stephen’s YouTube

  • I love the insight he has after all these years of reviewing perfumes
    I live in Norway, and my favorite right now is the beautiful Sedley

  • Alexandria Chaulk says:

    Thanks Steven for the review!! I was so excited about this fragrance when I first heard about it and was waiting on your review. I love the delicious description. This fragrance sounds perfect to me. My favorite PDM fragrance is Delina Exclusif. From Texas, USA.

  • I’ve been watching a lot of reviews on this fragrance, and Steven’s video was very descriptive in regards to the scent profile! He described the sophistication of orange blossom in the opening, the realistic note of blackcurrant in the heart, and the beautiful lactic and musky longevity of the base! I also like how he added some background of the creators, which I did not see in the other reviews of this fragrance so far. I enjoyed learning about their other creations, as it gave me an idea of the scent profile and longevity. Perhaps Nathalie’s intention to make this fragrance “feminine” resulted in it becoming soft and sweet, but according to Steven’s description it is a wearable gender neutral scent. Good to know that Hamid worked on the base to give it that beautiful sweet musk and longevity. Overall, based on Steven’s review, this sounds like a scent which is right up my alley! I’m from Kansas, USA and my favorite fragrance from the house so far is Delina Exclusif however this one might be my new favorite once I get my nose on it.

  • Terrance Calton says:

    I liked that Steven said he can see a lot of men wearing this fragrance. I am a gourmand lover and I must get my nose on this sensual fragrance! Katy, Texas USA and Layton is my jam!

  • Rhonda Dearborn says:

    I’m very excited to try this new offering from PDM. I like the brand and the perfumers as well. I have several creations from Ms. Lorson that I love! This note profile is very much to my liking and I feel as though the entire presentation will be luxurious and beautiful. Thank you for providing this insight into the process of creating this new fragrance!

  • Stevens description of it being a unisex creamy fruity gourmand fragrance is what hit me excited to try this one. Nathalie explains this is ultra feminine but explains it as a full bodied which I hope for as I’m not a fan of fleeting airy fragrances. Sounds lovely. From the US, MN.

  • Steven was able to describe the fragrance in a way in which I could imagine. He gave me an excellent idea of what this fragrance is about. Not only that, he made me more interested in the creative nose behind the fragrance. Thank you for your introduction to Nathalie and Hamid, I will be looking forward to learning more about their past and present creations.

  • So I love how when steven’s describing fragrances you can really tell what he’s talking about. The way he’s described this perfume fit almost exactly to what I look for in a scent and I just couldn’t resist it. I don’t really agree with other fragrance YouTubers reviews but Steven’s very accurate with his so hats off to him. I’d say the Delina perfume is my favourite because it’s unique and doesn’t smell like any other generic perfumes I’ve smelt before with the same base notes etc, and I’m so willing to try this one out too so I’ve got my fingers crossed!:) I live in Birmingham, UK

  • It’s interesting to see two famous perfumers working together on the Oriana, one focusing on the opening, and the other more on the base.
    “How do you imagine the Oriana woman?
    Hamid Merati-Kashan:i Spontaneous, dynamic and unpredictable.
    Nathalie Lorson: Modern, full of life and adventurous.”
    I fit profile 100%
    Bright and fizzy playful fragrance , with citruses on top , marshmallows and whipped cream base, just WOW
    Just throw some fruity tartness into the mix , Oriana is a future classic I would like to explore.
    Love both of my Delina bottles , I mean i have the regular one for a long time, and Exclusif version for around 9-10 months now .
    It will be awesome to also have Oriana in my collection
    I also bought Byerley as a gift for dad’s birthday,and he absolutely loves it.
    My favorite Parfums de Marly fragrance is Delina Exclusive
    Awesome giveaway
    Back and forth between USA and Scotland, two weeks in US -> two weeks in Scotland, and so on. Basically both USA and UK at the same time

  • Danielle Gibson says:

    I love how detailed he is about the notes of the fragrance. He is exceptionally well versed in the building blocks of fragrances and he loves sharing his knowledge.

  • I always love the honesty that Steven puts into his reviews, it makes me feel like I can always trust his insights, so that makes me excited for this fragrance. I am from Minneapolis in Minnesota. It is nearly impossible to choose my favorite Parfums de Marly fragrance, but it would probably either be Galloway or Herod.

  • Steven’s reviews are just so so great, in general! I love watching his videos, even if sometimes the notes/the perfume doesn’t sound to my liking, he does a great job in making you interested in trying anyway. and when all the notes/description of perfume sounds like “it’s definitely my thing” you want to try even more after watching his reviews. The “Oriana” is the last one for me! It sounds soooo good and I simply can’t wait to smell this. Literally every note listed in this perfume is my favourite. My favourite from the brand is “Safanad”, “Delina” is wonderful too. I don’t own it yet, it’s on my wish list.

    United Kingdom.

  • I really enjoyed Steven’s review! I am still a bit of a beginner when it comes to fragrances but I’ve always been a big fan of Delina. I am really curious about how the citruses are going to take place in this fragrance!

  • Excellent reviews, I bought it a few fragrances because of your reviews that means I trust you. Love Fragrance with whipped cream note, from Parfums de Marly I love Delina, Delina exclusif and Cassili

  • As the perfumers Merati-Kashan and Nathalie Lorson said, the Oriana woman is spontaneous, dynamic, and unpredictable… yet modern, adventurous and full of life. I feel as though among many other women these days, I strive to embody that woman that they are describing. The way Steven from Redolessence described as a beautiful, mouthwatering, unisex, amazingly sweet gourmand made me so intruiged to get my nose on it, and the beautiful bright pink bottle is something that would be so uplifting to see on my vanity. What piqued my interest the most about this fragrance is the bright citrus with grapefruit opening, the raspberry and blackcurrant cream in the middle, and the marshmallow and whipped cream base to ground it that sets this fragrance apart from the rest. These fragrance notes are what dreams are made of! It comes to no surprise that this beauty’s popularity has risen so quickly.

  • I have never smelled a pmd fragrance but it sound like it will be very good and I’m still wanting to try one): even for my girlfriend

  • I loved Steven’s excitement for this perfume but also his thorough and to the point description of the scent. As in the perfumers’ insights I really liked their definition of Oriana woman, so powerful, self assured and positive! Greece. Favorite PdM is Oajan and also Cassili at the moment. But I like to keep them in my weekly rotation.

  • A very addictive fragrance to me, sophisticated and feminine. Love the marshmallow note the most. Citrus makes it freshy and dry down is where the charm comes from . Would love to win it . Haven’t tried others from this house .
    Manya from NYC

  • Steven is one of the first fragrance youtubers I discovered- his reviews are always honest, thorough yet to the point and full of enthusiasm! I cannot count the times I’ve searched his channel for a quick review before a blind buy. Very helpful source!

    I enjoyed the way the perfumers described the Oriana woman- I’d like to think I fit the description and so I hope this fragrance will be a new favorite for me. I’m quite familiar with the impressive works of both Nathalie Lorson and Hamid Merati-Kashani and I cannot express how excited I am for Oriana!

    My two favorite Parfums de Marly fragrances of all time are Delina Exclusif and Athalia. These fragrances are total masterpieces in my eyes.

    I would like to give a big virtual hug and thank you to Cafleurebon, Steven, Parfums de Marly, Nathalie Lorson, and Hamid Merati-Kashani for this very generous opportunity.

    -From West Chester, Ohio with love!

  • Perfumelover says:

    I like how Steven’s reviews are always to the point and very informative! Oriana sounds lovely. I love citruses combined with sweet/gourmand notes.
    I’m from Europe and My favourite PDM fragrance would be Delina Exclusif.

  • Sorohan Adriana says:

    In Oriana
    sensuality is expressed by an orange flower from Morocco, of exceptional quality – just like the ingredients of citrus top notes – mandarin and bergamot from Italy, harvested by the best producers in the world
    . The heart of the perfume is based on red fruits (raspberries and black with whipped cream and marshmallows.
    I want to feel the power and sensuality of this perfume.
    I am from Eu Bucharest Romania Europe

  • It was as if Steven was giving a cake recipe!
    I’d never thought about black currant being musky but it makes sense.
    Great review!!
    Layton Exclusif for me!!!
    Greetings from Texas.

  • Everything about Steve’s video is amazing. He is the one and only person that gives honest reviews. I can literally smell the perfume base on the way Steve is describing it. The way he explains the notes, when yo wear it, the longevity, performance of the fragrance. 90% of the fragrances I owe are all Steve approved. He is incredibly talented.

    My favorite perfume Parfums de Marly is definitely DELINA. She is the love of my life. I love love love DELINA. She is a fragrance that makes me feel happy. Makes me feel comfortable in my own body. I suffer from self esteem problems and everything I wear DELINA is like I’m a completely different person. DELINA makes me feel so beautiful

  • ANDREEA ELENA TIMOFTE says:

    Wow, thank you Cafleurbon for this chance.
    I think that Oriana is a delicious gourmand, so I will very much enjoy it. And the color of the bottle is just gorgeous.
    I have a decant of Delina, so this must be my favorite Parfums de Marly…yet.
    I really, really wish I won this parfum.
    I live in London, UK.

  • A great review by Steven I am intrigued by the notes especially Raspberry, Ambrette, Chantilly cream and Blackcurrant. Steven reviews are always a treat to listen to this sounds like a sensual Gourmand. Thanks a million from the United Kingdom

  • I forgot to mention my favourite from this house is Layton. Thanks a million from the United Kingdom

  • Steven did a great job reviewing Oriana. I definitely enjoyed his prospective on the fragrance’s versatility and and full breakdown of the notes, especially how the black currant in the top note works with the musk mallow in the middle notes to create a nice transition and not make the fragrance very sweet. My favorites from the Parfums de Marly line include Oajan, Herod and Safanad. I live in Tennessee. Thank you for the giveaway.

  • I am really intrigued by three notes that Steven descibed Orange Blossom, Blackcurrant and musky base to add depth and longevity. I am glad that this is a gender neutral perfume that both sexes can enjoy. Thanks a lot from the UK

  • 2lipsinHolland says:

    If Nathalie Lorson is involved – COUNT ME IN please!!! She has created some of my favorite fragrances for both men and women – I want to smell like a Chantilly cream cloud – YES! Super excited to try this one – here in the Netherlands!

  • I think Steven did an awesome job presenting this fragrance. I love that it is versatile, long-lasting and the bottle represents what the fragrance kind of smells like. The bottle is absolutely gorgeous. This sounds almost like ambrosia…what’s not to like?! Chantilly cream and marshmallows…yum! I would love to win this for my daughter’s upcoming birthday. USA

  • Steven always has great reviews thank you so much. I love a mix of gourmand, fruity and floral fragrances and I want this so badly thank you for giving this opportunity to us. My favorite fragrance is delina exclusif and I am from Turkey. Thank you

  • I did enjoy that Steve mentioned that he would wear this ‘ultra-feminine’ scent, my husband wears female geared perfumes all the time and pulls them off sometimes better than I do, he can appreciate beautiful packaging even if it’s pink! It’s also interesting that the perfumers have described the ‘Oriana woman’ as both spontaneous and adventurous, these are bold claims so I am excited to see if they are true! Really excited to smell the Chantilly marshmallow combo!

  • smell.pretty says:

    I trust Steven’s nose with my wallet every time! He always does such a great job reviewing scents. What I find intriguing with this perfume is the notes of raspberry, orange blossom, marshmallow, musk and bergamot! They are my favorite notes in a perfume. I can’t wait to get my nose on this perfume! I absolutely love the house of Parfums De Marly! My favorite from the PDM is Safanad. I live in Norway!

  • Steven has done wonderful job yet again, Raspberry ,citrus, white floral notes interests me the most . Being a gourmand lover myself , nothing can be better than this .
    My favorite from the house is Delina exclusif. I am from USA

  • Steven is very clear and informative about the reviews. He describes the notes easily for the audiences even who are new to fragrance world can understand about the fragrance. He doesn’t seem biased to any brands or so. Plus he put across his personal likings but doesn’t pressure the audiences to purchase. His calm voice is very relaxing to watch the fragrance reviews videos.
    About the perfumers’ insights,
    It seems like a very modern take on feminine sensual potion. Today’s women are so diversely active. They should have a fragrance that is appropriate to their personality. That amps up their aura. Really hat’s off the perfumes for coming up such an ultra modern sophisticated aphrodisiac combination. Chantilly cream with raspberry is something that caught my attention big times.
    From Vaasa,Finland. I am very new to Niche fragrance. As I am student and don’t have proper job,can’t afford to buy a niche fragrance. I got a number of testers and deluxe samples of Delina and Delina exclusif. I just love them. Praying and rooting for winning this one. That will be an awesome birthday gift for me,as it’s on 17th sept.

  • First and foremost I love Steve’s enthusiasm when he talks about fragrances and his ability to make you almost smell the scent when he describes it. I loved his in depth analysis of the whole Oriana’s composition and its’ individual notes in the video. I was also excited to learn a little of back story and inspiration behind the fragrance from its’ creators and their attempt to create a scent with an adventurous and spontaneous spirit. Last but not least I have to say, I’m in love with the presentation, the bright bold pink colour is gorgeous.
    I am from Slovakia, Europe and as a gourmand lover I ‘m very happy to have an opportunity to win a full size bottle of this gem.
    So far my favourite was Delina Exclusif.

  • Mazikeen Smith 24 says:

    I always find Steven’s reviews exceptional. I think him being a teacher made his reviews full and very knowledgeable. Steven mentioned he will probably wear this one due to its unisex scent according to him, yet Nathalie Lorson wanted or created it to be ultra feminine, and I am intrigued by it. My favorite notes are present in this one, so it is a must try for me. I also love the description of both perfumers about what they imagine a woman wearing this. But for me, I would describe a woman wearing this to be Playful, Easygoing, and Radiant.
    Cheers from USA, South Carolina!
    My favorite PDM is Layton followed by Carlisle <3

  • I love every review Steven does, he has an amazing nose and I trust everything he says! He was one of the first people I found on fragrance YT and he has taught me so much about scent. This review was great and I love how he described the musks because the musk mellow is one of the reasons I am so interested in this perfume! It sounds amazing . Hello from NYC and my current fav PDM scent is the classic Delina!

  • I love how excited he sounds and how educated Steven is on this perfume! As for both the review and the video, the notes sound exactly like what I’m looking for and a fragrance and I’m so excited to try this one. Only Parfumes de Marly scent I’ve tried so far is Delina, I love that one but it’s a bit more mature than what I’m looking for.

  • A great review by Steven of Parfums de Marly’s Oriana (what a lovely name!). The bottle, description and notes immediately made me think of Marie-Antoinette. I would imagine her wearing something pink, playful, vibrant and decadent. And what’s more decadent than sweet crème chantilly ? That chantilly accord was mentioned many times by Steven in his review, which just made me want this fragrance even more as I have always had a sweet spot for creamy and gourmand scents. According to Nathalie Lorson and Hamid Merati-Kashani, the Oriana woman is also spontaneous, full of life, adventurous… which is everything I dream to be after a year of lockdowns!
    Keeping my fingers crossed from France and my favorite PDM fragrance is Delina La Rosée.

  • I’m interested in the fact that Steven describes this as unisex! I wouldn’t have imagined that, but can’t wait to get my hands on a bottle. My favorite PDM fragrance is Athalia and I’m here from Georgia, USA.

  • I enjoyed the video because Steven is an expert in how he delivers his fragrance reviews. He is likeable in nature, direct and descriptive in a way that provides the end user with a well rounded insight into the fragrance. I love his voice and his approach to the way the notes l accompany each other or why they work (important especially for those new to the fragrance world). Thank you for the opportunity to enter the competition!

  • xochipilli81 says:

    Steven at Redolessence is my favorite fragrance reviewer on YouTube. I love that his reviews are in depth and take into account all aspects of not only the art of perfume but also the experience of wearing it. Nathalie Lorson and Hamid are masters at their craft. This new launch from PDM is exactly what a woman like myself wants to experience. We are drawn in by the beautiful, captivating bottle and we feel confident and feminine no matter what the day brings when wearing such an enveloping scent. Currently my favorite perfume by PDM is Delina Exclusif. I am from Healdsburg, California. I love trying new perfumes and reading and watching perfume reviews. Thank you for this opportunity! Also, today is my birthday. 🙂

  • The description in the video was enough to interest me to post. The enthusiasm was evident. I have no fave from the house. US

  • Loved Steven’s review of Oriana. What is making me the most excited is combination of marshmallow notes with red berries. I really like that he thinks this could be a unisex fragrance. I am not a huge fan of sweet overly girly fragrances. But I do love marshmallow notes so I am excited about this one. My favorite Parfums de Marley so far is Herod. I’m from Illinois, US.

  • I enjoyed Michelyn’s interview- it’s was interesting and want imagine perfume about chantilly cream combined with marshmallow!
    Love Steven style of description- detailed! Raspberry and cream sounds yummy.
    US

  • lepetitoiseau1999 says:

    I love how organized the review is! But best of all is that the description is straight to the point and gives a clear picture. Based on what the perfumers have said, I’m excited about the inspiration from chantilly cream. I love baking so a unique reference to it in a perfume is absolutely exciting. I haven’t sampled anything yet from PDM, but based on the notes my favorite would probably be Orissa! – PA, USA

  • I have just recently discovered Stevens youtube channel and I subscribed immediately because his reviews were very informative and straight to the point which i like. His description of Oriana got me very excited, since it sounds like a scent that is right up my alley, maybe i would even consider it a potential signature scent 🙂 as for my favorite Marly fragrance I would really like to try Delina and Oriana since i have heard they are very feminine, but sadly i haven’t had the opportunity to buy myself a bottle. I live in Slovenia and i wish everyone that entered the giveaway the best of luck <3

  • Hi steve, I’m just starting to fragrance wirld and i hope i would win those pdm new release, this gon be my first perfume. From Cavite, Philippines

  • My favorite part of Steven’s review was the exploration into the notes used in the fragrance, and how the chantilly cream & marshmallow come together to create the creamy base, with the musk serving as a bridge between the base & top notes. That’s something Nathalie Lorson also touched on in this article. Sounds very interesting! I can’t wait to get my nose on this one.

    Location: Washington DC, USA

    Favorite PDM: Definitely Delina!

  • One of my favorite attributes of Steve is his ability to precisely and consistently provide an in-depth/comprehensive depiction of the fragrance he is reviewing. I have given weight to his assessment of many fragrance as a part of my decision process on most purchases made.
    On his review of Oriana, I could almost inhale this fragrance through my computer screen…His description brought about one of my favorite memories of my mom and her world famous ambrosia dessert :). I can smell the chantilly cream, marshmallows, oranges…oh my goodness…what a treat! While this does appear to be leaning feminine and would smell so wonderful on my beloved bride, like Steve stated, I think this could be pulled off as a(n) unisex fragrance, as well. At least I hope so 🙂
    In closing, I strongly agree with both Nathalie’s and Hamid”s definitions of THE Oriana Woman (my wife, Mily) of being modern, full of life, adventurous, dynamic, and unpredictable. We are both looking forward to this fragrance. USA

  • At last, a beautiful new parfum that speaks to my <3… I so enjoy Steven's brilliant experience and knowledge with perfume. It comes out in his videos for sure. The perfumers' insights were super interesting. Both mentioned that the perfume was for someone unpredictable/adventurous. This speaks to my spirit! <3 I love PDM and my favorite so far is Delina Exclusif. Thank you for this incredible opportunity! I live in the USA.

  • Steven’s enthusiasm about the fragrance and classifying it as a Gourmand. I love Gourmands! I have sampled a few of Parfums de Marly’s fragrances, and like Cassili the most but have yet to purchase a full bottle. I love how the article describes this fragrance as modern, ultra feminine with indulgent undertones! I would love a Parfums de Marly creation and it sounds like this may finally be the one for me! Excited for Oriana!

    Fav: Cassili

  • Brian Braverman says:

    Steven always gives an honest review and I love how he build a vivid picture in ones mind about a fragrance. Loved how both, Nathalie and Hamid, had a similar description of the Oriana woman. Hamid stated spontaneous and Nathalie stated adventurous. Very similar traits. I reside in Staten Island, NY and my favorit Parfums De Marly fragrance is Layton Exclusif.

  • Steven’s reviews are always great, so informative and really allows the viewer to get a great idea of how the perfume smells and the vibe it gives off without even having to smell it. I loved how in depth and retailed the review was. I am from Birmingham, UK and my favourite Parfums de Marly fragrance is Delina exclusif

  • Steven gave an amazing in depth overview of Oriana and it seems to be so beautiful, sweet and sensual and I cannot wait to try. He answers every question I had when I clicked on the video. My favourite Parfums De Marly fragrance has to be the classic Delina. I am from the United Kingdom

  • I have been Steven’s subscriber since his initial days of youtube. He has been instrumental with many of my purchases including PDM Pegasus and Layton. Looking forward for more

  • Carola Grunenberg says:

    Steven’s reviews always hits the point. Everytime he describes something i immediately can smell it in my mind. His words are always honest and neutral. He never wants to push someone to like or dislike a perfume. Comforting. Oriana sounds so heavenly good. Sugary raspberry and cream spunds so good! Till now the original Delina is my favourite. From Europe Germany.

  • I have been Steven’s subscriber since his initial days of Youtube. He has been instrumental with many of my purchases including PDM Pegasus and Layton. Layton certainly is the best of PDM I have encountered. Looking forward for more, perhaps Herod

  • Gilberta Santana says:

    I enjoy every video that Steven creates. They inspire me to try new fragrances. He is very good in describing the perfume and I truly enjoy his YouTube Chanel. My favorite scent of parfume de Marly is Delina.

  • Steven is an amazing reviewer, i love the emphasis on orange blossom and whipped cream notes. I hope to win this fragrance to give as a gift to my loving partner. Parfums de Marly always delivers the best. Thank you for the opportunity. I live in Romania, EU.

  • Great review Steven! I appreciate the breakdown of the notes and your assurance that the sweetness is balanced by the citrus and that the addition of the musk makes it more unisex. The raspberry and cream combination sounds delightful and the bottle looks fun. Favorite Parfums de Marly is Delina. I’m in MD, USA.

  • Laurie Hicks10 says:

    I can’t wait to get my nose on this one. This sounds like such a plush, feminine offering. And I love so many others by Nathalie Lorson! Chantilly cream, Moraccan orange blossom…. Sign me up!! ❤️

  • LHomme de Parfum says:

    I always enjoy Steve’s reviews. But this one came as a surprise, since I’ve never heard about Oriana before! So I like the gorgeous bottle and the longevity.
    Cheers from Normandy, France!

  • Perfume Addict says:

    Just watched the review. I looove this bottle. I’m obsessed and addicted to fragrance. I started a channel, but I’m still learning. I would love to review this on my channel also. Due to my budget, I can’t afford it right now, would really love to win a bottle. Thank you so much for sharing, you convinced me, lol.

  • Steven is the best, thanks for introducing us to this beautiful fragrance!! Sweet and sensuous treat for the nose… I think PDM is by far my favorite fragrance house hands down!! My favorites are Layton, Pegasus, Percival, Kalan just to name a few but many more make my list!! USA thanks Cafleurebon & Steven for all y’all do highly appreciated!!! Good luck everyone!!!

  • Steven’s review was amazing. It actually made my mouth water as I listened to him talk. That was the best description of Oriana I’ve heard thus so far. I am a very energetic, happy go lucky person. The way the perfumers described the woman wearing this scent, sounds precisely the type of person I am, spontaneous, energetic and adventurous. I live in Nova Scotia, Canada. In my spare time I travel, compete in Clay pigeon shooting competitions. And when I’m not competing I’m exploring new ways to enjoy the great outdoors. My favorite Perfums de Marly scent up until now has been Cassili. I wear this fragrance when I want to feel very femine and pretty. I’m so excited to try this new fragrance, Oriana being releases is the

  • This is a lovely bottle with fascinating descriptions. I most enjoyed Steven’s detailed descriptions of the notes as well as the perfumers’ explanation of the quality of it’s ingredients. I like Delina but Layton is my favorite from the house. KY/USA.

  • What I enjoyed about Steven’s review was that it felt inviting and informative. I have been a long time watcher of Redolessence, which is because Steven does such a great job at accurately presenting fragrances. For the perfumer’s insight, I loved their vision of a modern and dynamic individual with an indulgent base. This perfume sounds absolutely gorgeous! At the moment, my favorite PDM fragrance is Carlisle (somewhat basic, but a phenomenal scent). Kind regards from IN, USA!

  • Loving Awareness says:

    I enjoyed Stevens thorough description of the Chantilly cream note in Oriana!
    Similarly, I am very excited by how the perfumer described the innovative aspect of how she has combined the cream and marshmallow note.
    I live in Winnipeg, MB. Canada
    My favourite Marly fragrance is Delina and I am so excited to try more!

  • I am new to perfume so I enjoyed that Steven’s review was thorough and easy for a newbie to understand. I enjoy learning who the perfumers envision wearing their creation and comparing it to the scent and seeing if I can picture the same person. I live in Minnesota in the U.S. and my favorite Parfums de Marly is Cassili Eau de Parfum.

  • I am new to Steven’s channel, and I have to say, I am hooked on his videos. Steven did a great job in describing this perfume! Personally, I am a big fan of Nathalie’s work, and this is by far my favorite from her work. Unlike love don’t be shy, this is more on the creamy than the fruity side, it has a lactonic sort of quality that I personally adore. It smells like a delicious pastry to me; I only got to sniff it on my hand, and I am obsessed, I wish I could afford it right now. If I actually got to purchase a De Marley fragrance right now, it would have to be either Oriana, or Cassili. Thank you :).

  • My favourite part was how Steven educated me on the differences in cream notes used in perfume , I always appreciate learning more and that little factoid was so useful 🙂

    My favourite from the house is delina exclusif.

    I’m from Ireland , EU

  • Steven’s reviews, in addition to being sincere, show that they are very methodical, that is, he tests and studies perfume very carefully, which makes his perfume analysis take a different and captivating touch.

    Regarding the comments of Mrs. Nathalie, I am pleased that you mention that the perfume has a musk that gives volume to the composition, the musk is one of my favorite notes since it is super sexy and I would definitely like to smell it on my girlfriend.

    Regarding Mr. Hamid’s comments, it strikes me that perfume is unpredictable, this suggests that it is a perfume with a very good evolution and is not linear at all, which is always good in perfumes.

    I am from Miami and my favorite Parfums de Marly fragrance is Layton Exclusif.

    Without further ado, I am sure it is a great perfume and I look forward to trying it.

    Regards,

  • I love adult gourmands and Orianna seems to be this delicious, sexy and yummy scent: chantilly, berries, citrics, oranges, marshmallow in a cloud of ambrette for a classy touch. The notes implies a very addictive fragrance, I am enchanting. I would love to try this glowing cherry scent. Here a big fan of Parfums de Marly, being my babies Meliora for summer, and Safanad in the night, for my guy.

  • The BEST Raspberry and cream – sounds convincing. Citruses and sugar, too. What else to add? Love the color, also the retro vibe of the bottle. My favorite from the line is Delina, but that is only because I haven’t yet tried others.
    I live in the EU, thanks for the draw!

  • What I enjoyed: I enjoy Steven’s specificity and details when it comes to his reviews. I love an elegant gourmandish fragrance for fall and winter! And the bottle is hard to say no to, lol

    Location: California

    Fave PDM: Cassili

  • I love to watch Steven’s reviews cause it feels like I can smell the scent through the screen… I swear!
    Parfums de Marly is in my top of favorite houses. I have all Delina line, Meliora and Cassili. Also Safanad is in my wishlist and of course the new release is everything for me!!! Since I love Orange Blossom and Marshmallow accord which is hyped recently and it makes me happy cause I want to have all scents around these notes. If there are also berries, I’m sure for 1000000%, that this scent will be my top favorite. And look at this bottle… This is a dream! I’m from Riga, Latvia

  • I like that although the perfumers set out to create something ultra feminine, Steven suggests that this may appeal to gourmand lovers of any gender. The chantilly cream and marshmallow combo sounds incredible.
    I’m based in Hartford, Ct. My favorite PdM is Cassili.

  • I love Steve’s reviews and I believe a lot in his judgment about perfumes. I live in New York and my favorite perfumes are delina and cassili.

    Thank you

  • I think Oriana would be a nice surprise for my girlfriend. The notes are delicious! I would surely love to smell this on her.
    Thank you!

  • I loved that Hamid described Oriana as a full, well rounded fragrance. When Nathalie said that her vision for the fragrance was ultra feminine and modern I thought, I need that!

    Steven’s review was as always, very complete. His note breakdown explaining the different citruses helped me better imagine which one is most dominate. Favorite PdM is Delina Exclusif. In the USA.

  • Creamy, bright and fresh, that’s what I imagine Oriana de marly would be like.
    Chantilly and raspberry make the perfect combo in my opinion. I’d love to get my hands on it soon…

  • My wife would love this fragrance. It sounds really nice and fits her personality. It was cool to hear Steven’s view on the fragrance and also the opinions of perfumers. USA

  • When I think Parfums de Marly , I always think Pegasus . Sure PdM do have all kinds of quality fragrances like Oajan , Herod , Layton , Greenley and the new Exclusif stars , but I do not get how regular Pegasus is getting so little attention. As much as I like the other I’ve mentioned , my 125ml bottle of Pegasus I cherish most. Smells fantastic , lasts over 10 hours on skin , and projects beyond strong – fills up a room. Compliments galore too.
    Being in tailoring business, I would wear Oriana while working with clients at the shop. Feels like a happy and cheerful moderately sweet floral , but also professional type of fragrance. Almost all my orange blossom based , but also musky fragrances, I wear with a suit at the shop , sweetness and whipped cream accord are tickling my fancy even more
    Two heads are better than one , if they are helping each other, Nathalie Lorson and Hamid Merati-Kashani created a special fragrance, I’m sure.
    I so want to win a bottle, thank you.
    Thank you Steven, Michelyn, Parfums de Marly
    USA , rarely Paris France

  • I must say, I’ve been waiting for a fragrance like this for a while. I’ve been hunting for a marshmallow notes that wasn’t merely sugary or confectioner and somehow missed the memo that Parfums de Marley was working on this!

    I loved the perfumer’s vision while creating this fragrance…a modern and fun yet unpredictable woman. All these things I feel are qualities I can relate to. The attention to the opening as well as specific base details by 2 different perfumers sounds like the making of a masterpiece!

    I liked hearing the note breakdown in Steven’s review….and how they seamlessly blend into the others. For example, a raspberry note can have a musky aspect to it….and then there’s musk as well. And how the marshmallow note has a confectioner’s sugar note with some vanilla tones….I’m blown away by the sound of it already! Longevity is also a huge deal for me so to hear that one must go easy on the sprayer sounds like Heaven.

    My absolute favorite fragrance by this house so far is Delina. Hands down. But hearing that this is a much change in pace from Delina is also welcome. There is, and always should be, one Delina.

  • Great review. There’s been a lot of good feedback on this new fragrance. I don’t own any PDM fragrances but this would be a great one to start with. From CA, USA.

  • From the appearance of the bottle to the bergamot & orange blossom, I am sold. Steven’s description makes it nearly impossible not to be interested! I spend most my time trying to discover my signature scent, so I’m hoping this is the one. I can’t wait to smell it!

  • I would love to try this new scent I’m not able to afford some of these fragrances but I love perfumes and love smelling good.

  • kalexander1710 says:

    From the article, I enjoyed the part that talks about the fragrance being the first of its kind to combine marshmallow with chantilly cream and it being for a modern woman, full of life. And Steven’s review makes it sound like a super delicious gourmand fragrance that is very different from the Delina fragrances. I haven’t tried anything from Parfums de Marly before. In St. Louis, MO

  • Steven’s review was both honest and insightful! Oftentimes, people who review perfumes lack the ability to verbally express a fragrance’s scent to the viewers. But Steven took his time and delivered! He gives me the impression that this new scent will be both femininely playful yet sophisticated and that’s an exciting balance!

    I’m from Kentucky in the US and being able to access niche perfumes takes a lot more time than other places in the country but I’d be soooo excited and grateful to receive Oriana.

    I got a sample of Delina Exclusif for my birthday and am hoping to get the full bottle for Christmas! I am soooo hopeful that you all will bless me to add this to my new collection! I just moved and starting over is hard. Having a nice fragrance to put on for a job interview or a special day always perks me up as one of life’s sweetest pleasures!

  • redwheelbarrow says:

    Oh this sounds like so much fun. Citrus, raspberry, and black current make it sound like such a happy scent. I have not yet tried anything from this house. Thanks for the draw from the US.

  • I have been a subscriber for quite some time and he always gives good review of presentation and notes. When it comes to the notes – this seems to be something I would love – sugar, fruits, wiped cream…

  • Karen Cuellar says:

    Hi, Steve thank you for the opportunity to participate,I love Parfums de Marly, my favorite is Delina, I have a small YouTube channel in Spanish all about perfumes

  • Based on Steven’s description, Oriana sounds amazing! I also love that he talks about how it is a unisex perfume. It doesn’t matter what the bottle looks like or how feminine it sounds, if you love the scent you should wear it!

    From MA, USA

    Favorite PDM is Cassili

  • It’s always a treat to see a new review from Steven.
    He is one of the few Youtubers I know I can rely on for an honest and comprehensive review going into great detail of what to expect.

    Hamid and Natalie’s insights confirmed what I expected and hoped it would be. A super feminine perfume with indulgent undertones. To my ears, this has ‘SEXY’ written all over!

    Oriana isn’t a type of fragrance I would wear myself, but would love to smell on my partner. I love sweet fruity fragrances and according to the reviews and the Internet it doesn’t get better than this! I am eager to gift it and smell it on her!

    Greetings from the UK

  • well, as usual Steven gave a mouthwatering description of a fragrance I could almost smell while watching the video! i also enjoyed the fact that he insisted on the fact that although sweet the perfume could be worn by a man. funny enough I am a woman who enjoys feminine perfumes and feel Oriana is what a raspberry lover like I am is looking for, the mix between the fizzy fruits and the sweetness of the lactonic and vanilla notes would I hope make it perfect for winter! I’m dying to try it! I haven’t had the pleasure of trying the house YET but I am very curious about HEROD

    Bises from Marseille;

  • Oh, my gosh, this sounds so gorgeous! Steven’s review was so indepth. I love the description of it being sweet and marshmallowy. It sounds like it is in the same family as Delina Exclusif, which is one of my favorites from the line. Plus, the color of the bottle is adorable! I was ready to pre-order it from Saks, but it’s already showing it’s sold out! Boo!!!

    I live in the US.

  • Steven’s review was very detailed, he has a way of describing the scent that makes it much easier to imagine what the scent smells like. I also enjoyed learning a bit about how perfumers Nathalie Lorson &
    Hamid Merati-Kashani worked together to create this perfume.
    I haven’t had the chance to try any Parfums de Marly perfumes yet.
    Washington, USA. Thank you.

  • He always gives a view from a man’s perspective, with great information on how it may wear on a woman. He gives great detail on notes.

  • I thought Steven’s review was very insightful and thorough! What was most interesting to me is that he said for people who are hesitant to wear Delina, this would be a good fragrance for them. Delina is my favorite PDM fragrance, but at times I struggle with the Rose note on my skin so I think, based on Steven’s review, Oriana would be a great alternative that I would enjoy. I love citrus, vanilla and musk! Many thanks from Scottsdale, AZ!

  • I like listening to how Steven breaks down the scent notes in the top notes, the base, and the mid as well as describing the performance. I liked reading the perfumers insights reading each of descriptions for the Oriana women that would wear it. I live in CA, USA and my favorite Parfume de Marly is Delina.

  • I love Steven’s precision in describing the fragrance and his clear passion! To me Oriana sounds like a fragrance i could eat which is exactly what I crave haha. I live in the UK and my favourite PDM frag is Delina (very unique, I know)

  • Yajna Sareen (YS) says:

    Loved how Steven is so passionate whenever he tries to review the fragrances. Loved small details behind this perfume. I live in Canada and my favourite PDM fragrance is the Delina

  • I love the way Steven does his perfume review. He goes really in depth and I have learned a lot from him.
    My favourite Parfums De Marly is Delina and Delina Exclusif

  • I am captivated by Natalie’s description of an ultra feminine fragrance which is in contrast with Steven’s review describing Oriana as unisex. This just tells me that this fragrance is exciting! I live in Southern California. My heart belongs to Delina with a close second going to Delina Exclusif. I can’t wait to add Oriana to my collection!

  • I love Steven and his reviews! This one made me feel like I’m in the room sniffing the fragrance myself. Looks like that raspberry is delicious. My favourite note, by the way. Best regards from Europe

  • I love how Steven gives us a full review on the perfume. He goes step by step and explains everything. He is great to explain for perfume lovers. I love watching his videos as always! I personally love Delina from PDM, a classic, I know! I never tried the other ones, as they are so expensive. I would love to try the new PDM Oriana, it seems delectable. I’m from Montreal, Canada! We don’t have access to stores with PDM, so for me it would be so perfect! I would be the happiest.

  • Sinead Connolly says:

    All these reviews make me want to buy the perfume it sounds like everything I look for in a perfume. I would decribe myself as a few of the things that Hamid and Nathaile describes the perfume as “adventurous” and “unpredictable”. Steven goes into a bit more detail and I would have presumed prior to watching the video it was tailored more toward females but he clarified it’s unisex which is also useful
    I get married the 25/09/2021 and would love this to be my scent ❤️

  • I love perfume reviews! Stevens reviews are also so fun & the perfect descriptions! I loved the Delina Exclusif review so much I had to smell for myself and fell completely in love!

  • Great review Steven! What I enjoyed about the youtube review is the way Steven brings attention to and draws the distinction between the three different kinds of musky-like accords – from the blackcurrant, from the musk mallow/ambrette, and from the synthetic musk base – and how they complement and contrast to each other. What I really enjoyed about the perfumers insights is learning that Oriana is inspired by chantilly cream as it’s central spirit, even though the most dominating note perhaps is the orange blossom. Although there is more orange blossom than chantilly cream, that the purpose of the orange blossom is to highlight and enhance the chantilly cream inspiration. It can be so interesting how a more nuanced note can nevertheless reflect the spirit of the fragrance as a whole, not in a photorealistic way, but in a feeling and a zeitgeist.

    I have not tried many parfums de Marley fragrances, but my favorite is Cassili – a lovely and unique strawberry-watermelon rose fragrance. I live in the US.

  • I’m so excited about this give away I’m new to niche perfumes and I think that this would be a great opportunity to get into that world of perfume

  • I adore Steve’s reviews he’s the more knowledgeable into describing a fragrance it’s the best describe it I am comfortable in
    Trying some new fragrance and I would love to have Oriana in my collection.
    Danville ca

  • Being a vain man compliments are really important to me. Oriana with its fresh orange blossom, fruityness , and moderately sweet musky base, for sure will get me unsolicited compliments , smelling amazing.
    Nathalie Lorson and Hamid Merati-Kashani co-created Oriana, I always wondered how such collaborations work . Smart decision one to make the opening, and the other the base .
    Oajan is my favorite Parfums de Marly, it’s full , balsamic sweet oriental I enjoy a lot . Early spring I bought my third 125ml bottle, that shows how much I love it.
    Exciting giveaway, USA
    Regards

  • Kandice Scalf says:

    This parfum sounds unbelievable. Parfums de Marly is always the best of the best, but this sounds so feminine, sultry, and modern.
    I always reach for stevens videos, and this review did not disappoint. The way he describes the orange blossom with the marshmallow & whipped cream makes me not only taste this fragrance; but really feel it in my general aura….without even smelling it!
    I also really like how Nathalie describes the very sweet openings but adds that the musk is in the base for sensuality. THATS what I’m looking for and she absolutely nails it here (hats off to both perfumers here for this masterpiece).
    Being spontaneous, modern, adventurous, sweet & sensual is exactly what I aspire to be in my day to day life. Oriana would be a magnificent addition to that lifestyle. Bravo yall

  • I desired to add Oriana in my collection at first glance of the bottle online… It was love at first sight and I didn’t know it was possible. After watching Steven’s review, it’s definitely a must have. I enjoyed the a way he was informative in describing the notes in the fragrance. He painted the picture the moment he said mouthwatering and decadent. I’m super excited and can’t wait to experience the fragrance in person.

  • QueenEmma1208 says:

    I have adored the scent of chantilly ever since I was a young girl. Steven’s review on this fragrance has left me sold and I can’t wait to have the opportunity to have this in my collection. Fingers crossed.

  • My favorite thing about Steven’s review is how descriptive he is when describing fragrances. I also enjoy how he compares Oriana to other fragrances, so you can get a full-bodied picture about what the fragrance smells like.
    I liked how the perfumers described what the imagined a women wearing Oriana would be like. It gives some personality to the fragrance.

  • valentinapirro says:

    Hello from a Baylor University student from Connecticut! I love how Steven mentioned that although Oriana is targeted towards women, it is unisex and could be worn by men. I believe all fragrances can be worn by anyone, but it’s interesting that a bright pink bottle of perfume could be on a man’s shelf. His video intrigued me and made me want to smell Oriana so bad – sounds like a scent I would highly enjoy (and maybe even my boyfriend too). Hopefully, I win and get to try this beauty out. Appreciate it!

  • I am looking forward to trying the new Oriana fragrance, the notes sound amazing! And the way Natalie describes the woman wearing Oriana makes me even more excited: full of life and adventurous! Steven’s review made me want to get it in the first place, he really seemed into this fragrance! I live in Romania and my favourite PdM fragrance is Athalia.

  • I have always liked how Stewen brings out (professionally) the best side of any perfume, you can feel the love and appreciation. He also has way with words, you will have just a right amount of valuable information. Lately I have been graving for feminine, but still adventurous smells and this seems like spot-on. Not the mention the colour of the bottle is just perfect. I have had Athalia in my wishlist for a while.
    Greetings from Estonia.

  • I love that Steven explains really well the note compositions of the fragrance. Also he shows the details, like the bottle and the way that works the sprayer.
    From this article, I like that the perfumers say how they imagine the woman who wears Oriana.
    I am very interested to smell Oriana. My favourite Parfums de Marly fragrance is Delina.
    My location is Bucharest, Romania

  • Omg! All of the notes sounds like a wonder combination, especially Orange blossom and whipped cream accord combo sounds like it would be luxurious and yummy. I’m so excited to get a sniff of this perfume. Great job reviewing, Steven!

  • I like the fact Steven said it might be unisex, I like the fact Natalie said it modern, I am in UK, my favourite parfum de marly is Pegasus.

  • Parfums de Marly became a top notch brand in such a short period of time , one of the best out there, to my taste of course.
    Steven take on Oriana reminded me of making, and later eating Black Currant Mousse Sheet Cake , With Whipped Cream Topping And Non-Candied Fresh Berries on top . Happy Pastry Chef in the house ‍
    “Nathalie Lorson: Oriana is inspired by chantilly cream, for the first time combined with marshmallow.”
    That’s the fragrance accord, I’m certain, because in the culinary world that’s common. Both perfumers are famous, I have a good feeling about Oriana.
    Personally I know Parfums de Marly for Herod , Makes me feel like I’m THE king of the castle.
    It’s a toss up for me between Herod and Oajan, for my favorite Parfums de Marly fragrance.
    Appreciate the interview, the review , and the giveaway campaign
    USA

  • Great review as usual coming from Steven. I have not tried anything from this house, altough I know it’s very popular among the connaisseurs.
    Thank you!

  • Denise Switzer says:

    I love watching Steven’s reviews because of how in depth they are. With the nature of blind buying now, I want to be as prepared as possible when I make a purchase and I always feel like I know what I’m getting after watching his reviews. When I first heard about Oriana, and saw the note breakdown, I was immediately interested but I needed to see Steven’s review to see the scent and development portion. This is always the most helpful for me, and the one for Oriana just made me want it more! I loved reading about the creative process in the article and how this was supposed to be more modern, because that is exactly what it seems. They have the classic scents but this one seems more “now” and modern.
    From Northern Michigan and my favorite PDM fragrance of the moment is Safanad.

  • Thanks for the great review Steven.

    I really enjoyed hearing Steven talk about how the orange blossom shines in this fragrance and how gender neutral this appears to smell.

    I’m grateful that we were able to read Natalie’s blurb on the ingredients that went into this fragrance and the quialities of the lady that inspired this fragrance.

    Cheers from WI, USA

  • Jacqueline Lara says:

    Steven did an amazing job in his description setting Oriana apart from the existing Delina’s and other offerings by Parfums de Marly. An 8 hour longevity? Yes, please! Can wait to try Oriana now.

  • I’m very Thankful to CaFleureBon and Parfums de Marly for this draw of Parfums de Marly Oriana- new release in magenta color bottle, creation of Nathalie Lorson and Hamid Merati-Kashani ,how exciting!!! Steven did great review on his YouTube video, I love quality of this gourmand fragragrance, raspberry and cream- pure deliciousness! Florida USA

  • Back in the days , when I was younger I considered floral fruity , and gourmand fragrances way too feminine. Now I think otherwise , and I do enjoy them quite a lot .
    My favorite PDM is Layton Exclusive , and i’m happy to own a bottle. I also own original Layton , and Godolphin all 3 made by one on my favorite perfumers Hamid Merati-Kashani , co-creator of Oriana. I have no doubts his partnership with Natalie Lorson gave us a fragrance, people will talk about for years to come.
    Thanks Steven, Michelyn and Parfums de Marly
    Positivity all the way. USA

  • Marianne Florian says:

    Nathalie Lorson and Hamid Merati-Kashani explained a little bit about the brief they were working with to create Oriana as well as the way the art direction was oriented, given the context of the brand of Parfums de Marly. It is always enjoyable to know more about who the perfumers envisioned would wear their fragrance. I also feel reassured when the people responsible for a fragrance can vouch for the provenance of its ingredients, since oftentimes the intention of a perfumer to use materials of a certain quality can be overridden by the need to keep costs low. This is true even for a pretty high-end fragrance house. I would have enjoyed reading a little more about the creative process.

    Steven Gavrielatos’s positive YouTube review of Oriana is full of detailed information to help me understand what this perfume is really all about. I especially appreciated his precise and elegant description of both the accords and the individual notes. Verbs matter, and he seems quite mindful of that. I would say, compared to other fragrance reviews I’ve listened to on YouTube, this one was a little more organized and deliberate, avoiding common problems like excessive repetition and relying exclusively on abstraction (red-hot-sexy, sophisticated, comforting) and superlatives (super-amazingly-gorgealicious). Instead Steven’s take focused on smells and experiences that people can have more of a consensus about (marshmallow, orange blossom, raspberry). I liked that a lot. Thanks also for encouraging the non-women to give this bright pink bottle a try. That is really fun and creates the expectation that non-guys like me will have fun delving into the gentlemanly fragrances as well. One thing that seemed missing was comparison with one or two well-known ‘touchstone’ fragrances (l’Heure Bleue? Coco Mademoiselle? Kenzo Amour?). I am glad I subscribed to this channel, and I will definitely watch more of Steven’s reviews if they are all like this one.

  • Marianne Florian says:

    Oops! I forgot to say that I live in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. I only really got interested in fragrances about a year ago, but it is one of my favorite things to learn about these days. So, although I have not had an opportunity to try any Parfums de Marly fragrances yet, from reading the website and listening to reviews on YouTube, I am most interested in trying out both HEROD and SAFANAD. Those ones seem like they would be really unique and also quite beautiful.

  • I gotta admit the attractive bright pink bottle is almost irresistible! But the review by Steven, on Redolessence really does bring it to life for me, especially when he vividly describes how all the notes, from the bright citrusy top notes, complements with the fruitiness of the heart notes and the creamy, sweet, lactonic feel of the chantilly cream accord. It sounds to me that the scent really does exemplifies the Oriana woman as described by the the perfumers – she is modern, full of life, spontaneous, and dynamic.
    My favorite Parfums de Marly is Safanad.

  • I forgot to add, I live in Springdale, Arkansas. Thank you for the chance to win this bottle of this gorgeous looking, absolutely luscious sounding perfume. <3

  • This fragrance really sounds like a masterpiece and one that I would love to have in my collection! A lot of love and passion was put into the fragrance which is reflected in the way it was described. The fact that it is modern yet spontaneous and dynamic is right up my ally. Steven says it is a unisex which I am curious to take a whiff. If so I would love to see how it wears on my partner’s skin.

  • Steven is correct saying Oriana is one of the most hyped, and expected by many fragrances for the past months.
    I have sampled / smelled all Parfims De Marly fragrances , excluding Oriana, but I’m expecting a pure , fresh and innocent opening with juicy fruityness, orange blossom, in the base changing to much fuller oriental well dipping into gourmand territory. Future star 100%
    Nathalie Lorson and Hamid Merati-Kashani are famous in their own right. What surprised me a bit, is the intentional contrast between the opening, and the base . Like the day , and the night , the non ending circle of life.
    My favorite Parfums de Marly fragrance is by far Habdan – it’s UNREAL how good it is…to me at least.I’ll never get rid of it …no way.One of my all time favorite fragrances , and to me the the most underrated Parfums de Marly.
    I already follow all @cafleurebon, @redolessence , @parfumsdemarly , @hamidhmk , @nathalielorson_masterpefumer, and I also follow @yvanjacqueline
    Thanks a lot
    USA only, for now at least

  • The new Parfums de Marly Oriana is obviously a transitional weather fragrance , orange blossom, marshmallow , fruits and some musk nuances . It sunds super good , and cozy , especially for the Fall .
    It also interesting to read about Nathalie Lorson and Hamid Merati-Kashani own perception of the fragrance , and the tasks that were given to them by Julien Sprecher.
    All Parfums de Marly non-transparent, and transparent bottles look super classy , including Oriana i like the color, and the contrast with the cap.Call me perfectionist, but bottle design, looks and the way it feels, are all important to me. Oajan is my favorite Parfums de Marly , but Delina Exclusif is breathing in Oajan neck all the time. Both are staples for me.
    Thanks for the draw
    Germany for undisclosed period of time

  • I enjoyed how enthusiastic he is when describing details of the notes. Steve makes it sound so sweet. I love any marshmallow scent. I live in Texas. My favorite PdM is Safanad.

  • I always love your review , very descriptive . I love Delina so much and I will definitely get this Oriana , too bad it’s late to enter your Prize .
    From MA

  • Dana Shackleton says:

    I always watch this channel when I’m curious of new perfumes. I have never tried parfume d’marly as of yet. But I’ve been hearing the hype of Oriana bc of the notes that I like. What I like most about his channel besides his in depth descriptions is that he REPLYS!! To all his viewers. That is very rare..he actually replies!! If I do buy from this brand it will be Oriana..heres hoping..:)

  • Steven’s review and perfumers’ descriptions of the perfume made me so exited! I already want to add Oriana to my collection. I’m a huge Parfums de Marly fan, but my most favorite one is the Cassili. I live in Gothenburg, Sweden.

  • I love Steven and his reviews – He has never led me wrong! I L.O.V.E PDM and would be extremely grateful and happy to win a full bottle of ORIANA! I Love niche/gourmand frags and this sounds ah-mazing! Thank you for your consideration!! : )

  • I love raspberry so so much. It would be one of the greatest thing if i were the luckest dog. Interestingly, yeaterday I was wandering whether or not purchase the delina since i am a huge fan of that kind of marbled gorgeous bottle.
    Best wishes from Japan.

  • I really enjoy Stevens reviews, and this one was great as well. From when I first heard of the launch for this I was very intrigued. This is definitely the type of fragrance I gravitate to and the combination of berries and cream has me drooling! My favorite so far from PDM is Delina. Thanks for the chance, in NY, US

  • The way that Steven described Oriana in his video was truly mouth watering, I NEED this fragrance. The combination of orange blossom with the creamy marshmallow and whipped musk sounds absolutely astounding! I’m very intrigued about the perfumers description of a sparkly red berry blend in the middle notes and how it balances out into a full bodied musky cream. Other favs of mine from the PDM house are Meliora and of course, Delina! Although I have yet to own a bottle of my own. I’m from Portland, OR and would love to add this to my collection !
