I’m in total agreement with you about wanting to smell the fragrance on myself. I find perfumes that don’t project enough, where even I can’t smell it, is a waste of money. Saying that, I did blind buy Oriana too and I absolutely love the smell. I just have to keep spraying it on myself every couple of hours. Hence, the waste of money. I have a ton of designer and niche fragrances, but I find that Montale’s fragrances are the only ones I can smell on myself all day.

Completely agree with your opinion x

The projection isn’t the best for me but I really like it. The scent is addictive! I find it to perform like meliora

Very detailed, thorough & honest review…excellent review!

I agree with your like on this one. I love the fragrance but am disappointed with the projection. I do however love it layered on Cassili which I think you have as well? Like peaches and cream. Thank you for sharing and enjoy it! ♥️

Thank you for sharing your review I got this fragrance as a early birthday gift and I love it. I wish they would have created a body cream so it can last. Or we have to wait for @Ai the great, to do a layering video 🤣. So we can see what she's using

Great video. I knew that l had a fragrance that reminded me of Oriana, but l couldn't put my finger on it. Prada Pour Femme is a fragrance that l enjoy. Pour Femme seems to last and project better on my skin but Oriana is smoother to me.

Excellent review, I did an Oriana review search and encountered your channel. I love this style of review and I'm excited to see more. Subscribing! :)

I was waiting on your review of this because I was so tempted!! I think this may be a pass for me because I need that projection! I went out with my girls wearing Delina and they could not stop smelling me and asking what I wearing!! For $300+ I need that every single time lol💗💗

I am waiting for a 10 ml decant of Oriana to arrive in the mail. I sprayed this twice on my wrist and the dry down is wonderful. But as you said I couldn’t smell it on myself I had to sniff my wrist to notice it. I hope we figure out how to make Oriana more of a banger. Thanks for this review!

It’s a like for me Ayesha. I just ordered the small size bottle. I prefer the opening much better.

This sound amazing

Dua fragrance!! sell dupe and it’s call hey sweetie. It’s better than the original and it last longer. Dua is a Niche fragrant house is based out of Los Angeles, they make original fragrance and also dupes. Sometime the dupes are better than the original fragrance and the projection last longer. Give them a try😍❤️

Just bought a sample for $6 from Lucky Scents - reviews haven't been the best and I've learned my lesson 🤦🏾‍♀️ the hard way ...not dropping $300 for a skin scent

I love Oriana and Safanad fm PDM. I initially loved La Rose but this one is so soothing and lasts me a good 8hrs on my skin without layering... I feel like I'm floating on clouds when I smell this scent, sooo lovely!

Brought this perfume and was so excited.. tried it out and returned it to Saks ASAP.. two days later. For 345.00 no way that generic smelling perfume filled with orange blossom was all I smelled..I have cheaper perfumes that project last all day and night..this smelled like a perfume I brought from ROSS .. NO THANK YOU ORIANA😩

Great video! I am a projection and longevity snob!! I need a trail. I need a big silage. Fragrances that don’t-usually stay at the store 😂😂😂 but if one sneaks home-I’ll wear it to bed…tfs!

Yess I was right!

Let me know what you think of the sample!

Adding that I have had a similar experience. I'm typically a light sprayer and don't need to reapply, but I found myself overspraying and being a little disappointed with projection. I have similar projection needs - I also just want to be able to catch whiffs easily.

It reminds me of summer and sunscreen and sitting on the porch and white flowers.

Agreed, the opening (Only) of Oriana will put you i. The mind of LDBSE for just as midget of a second. The dry down is way different

Oriana captured my attention in the opening But after that My excitement quickly disappeared🙃😆 I layer it with Satsuma from the Body Shop.

That’s awesome that Nordstrom is starting to carry PDM two years ago they didn’t have it, not an international Plaza anyways. I have to agree with you the projection and performance of this virus is very poor, so disappointing because I wanted to get it but I can’t pull the trigger on such an expensive fragrance that has no performance, too bad because it smells so beautiful 😞😩

I totally agree on the lack of projection of this fragrance and was really disappointed. I would not recommend the purchase and the marshmallow is not as prominent as I expected.

Ok I bought this and I have Killian love don’t be shy, well they smell the same too me I love 💕 them I’m keeping it love the color of bottle

Ooh I’m so glad this worked out. I love it on paper, but not on me. I don’t get any of the fruity notes, it’s just dense whipped cream, marshmallow and lots of musk. I’m going to try my sample again when it’s cooler.

I gave in as well but only because Saks had a sale. This is the first Parfums de Marly to disappointed me. The fragrance smells too similar to Dolce and Gabbana Pour Femme. Even the bottle was a disappointment in person, on camera the bottle looks way more vibrant. It's a meh for me...
