Bernard Ellena

"Oriens is a sweet fruity-floral chypre created for women and launched in 2010. Its opening combines bright mandarin orange with black currant and raspberry, producing a vivid berry-citrus effect. Jasmine and white flowers form the heart, giving the composition a soft, luminous floral character. The drydown becomes richer through patchouli, praline, amber, and vanilla. This contrast between juicy fruit, polished florals, and a gourmand-tinged chypre base gives Oriens a sensual and glamorous personality. The overall impression is elegant yet playful rather than a traditionally heavy oriental fragrance."
