Orage LOUIS VUITTON Eau de Parfum

A well rounded, mass appealing version of Atelier's discontinued Patchouli Riviera/Mistral Patchouli fragrance. Patchouli, iris, pepper and grapefruit stand out to me. Performance seems marginal from my limited experience with a tester on skin. This is my favorite among the LV for men. Given the performance, this is certainly overpriced.

UPDATE!!!
Well... I tried Montale's Vetiver Patchouli and find while it has striking similarities, it possesses a somewhat gourmand quality and is a little syrupy and sweet for my liking. Mistral Patchouli is still the closest thing to Orage but is a little too forward on its notes/less well blended and discontinued. SO with this scent profile still on my mind and after having the opportunity of numerous trial vials from the reps at LB, I broke down and bought this despite the pricetag. Ive learned that the performance of this is better than initially noticed. The issue is that this scent doesnt project so loudly however, it still has a noticeable sillage
and while it sits closer to skin, it Does has excellent longevity. I really enjoy this scent because it is so versatile, smooth and tranquil. It opens up with a bit of freshness and citrus, then turns earthy until it dries down into a smooth and (with my own skin chemistry) slightly sweet patchouli. Love this.

It’s good, but buy Terre d’Hermes instead or I’m calling the cops on you.

Perfect signature scent.
Works anytime and anywhere.
This screams elegance, the scent is spicy, fresh and clean.
Quite similar to Terre D'hermes but much better in my opinion.

Orage- the French word for “storm”.

Oddly, I don’t smell the citrus, just Iris, maybe some black pepper briefly and the best, long lasting petrichor-patchouli I’ve smelled in….maybe, ever.
I would say Orage is the most unique scent in this lineup as LV definitely has a few stars in the collection.
A lot of people say it is better for cool weather or rain but I think wearing it in this extremely hot summer is great because the performance is outstanding and seems to get more intense with the heat.

I did not expect much from LV as I assumed the fragrances would be “designer leaning” but I’m impressed.

I’ve been obsessed with Orage since I first smelled it and finally got a full bottle today.

I have almost all of the LV line and this is the best. A fresh high quality fragrance with patchouli, my wife loves it.
