Le Gemme Orom by Bvlgari

A super sexy perfume. Dark, deep vanilla, slightly resinous, accompanied by an “oud” that, to my nose, feels much more like leather, black leather, elegant and enveloping. It’s not aggressive or animalistic; it’s warm leather, softened by vanilla and resins, making it addictive. The composition is simple, but that’s where its greatness lies; nothing is superfluous, nothing is missing. Every note is exactly where it should be, and that sets it apart from many perfumes trying to impress with unnecessary complexity. Orom is absolute balance and security. It’s an extremely elegant and seductive perfume, completely unisex, though clearly leaning masculine. Still, if you’re a woman and know how to rock this perfume, ufff, forget it. It’s pure power. The name fits perfectly; if gold had a smell, it would definitely be this. Sober luxury, silent presence, but impossible to ignore. Performance is spectacular, firm sillage, impeccable longevity, and an evolution that stays true to its DNA from start to finish. Nothing more to say, this and Azaran are my favorite Bvlgari gems, highly recommended. Worth every penny.

I could say it’s the best perfume I’ve bought this year, nothing surprising given the price tag. Although it reminds me of others, the truth is it has something that makes me addictive. I’ll surely buy it again when I finish the bottle. It’s a simple perfume, doesn’t bring anything new to perfumery, but in its simplicity, it’s spectacular: vanilla and wood. If you like that combo, you should at least try it.

I’d dare say it’s the best vanilla perfume. If we think of vanilla-forward fragrances with that note at the forefront, 99% of the time we think of scents that directly smell like dessert. This is not the case. It’s a dark, woody vanilla with minimal sweetness. Super elegant and serious. Without a doubt, a worthy masterpiece to own!

One of the best vanilla perfumes I’ve smelled, a very different, dark vanilla. It’s quite simple but very elegant, and it’s rare to say this about a vanilla-based perfume. With very little: oud, resins, and vanilla, basically it smells like a very elegant, resinous oud wrapped in a cloud of vanilla with very subdued sweetness. I even detect a smoky, boozy touch, even if not declared. Longevity is extremely good, giving me 10-12 hours perfectly without reapplication; applied at 8-9 PM and I wake up the next day still smelling it. Projection is fairly average, but for this perfume, it has to be so; it doesn’t seek to invade, it seeks to invite people to get closer. If it were a projection bomb, it would lose all elegance. -Scent: 9 -Longevity: 9 -Projection: 7 -Versatility: 7

If there is an adoptive perfume, with vanilla but not sweet, it’s Orom. The base of oud and resins is the foundation for the Bourbon vanilla to be the protagonist. We are facing the top of vanilla perfumes. A work of art, without so much fuss of notes; with a few, they manage to be different and exquisite. Scent: 10 Longevity: +7 Projection: 7 Originality: 10 Versatility: 7 Blind buy: 5 Price: very expensive. If life allows you some indulgence, this is the best you can afford.

I’m not a big fan of the vanilla note, but so far, I think this is the best men’s vanilla I’ve encountered. It doesn’t stand out especially in the opening, but it does in the dry down where the vanilla blends with intoxicating woods and resins. The result is a dark, woody vanilla that pours elegance in abundance. I don’t smell much oud, but I think that’s what gives it the woody charm. Everything in this fragrance is carefully crafted and mixed masterfully. Longevity on skin is excellent, superior to 12 hours, it’s oily and dense. I don’t get the impression that it projects much or has a great sillage, but you definitely notice it throughout the day. This is truly OROMolido, what a beautiful perfume. What a pity about the price, although with luck, if you search, you can find it for 180-200€.

I own this perfume; it has little hype, in fact, I found few reviews online, but I appreciate that because this perfume is crazy. When you first apply it, you feel the wood and benzoin present, a serious, slightly sweet opening, but as hours pass, it gets sweeter and the vanilla resurfaces, but a quality vanilla…. not just any vanilla, which makes this one of my favorites. If you go out on the street with this, they’ll hardly recognize it, which is a plus, plus it has great projection and longevity. I applied it at 8:00 am, it’s 1:24 pm, and I still smell it constantly; it’s an 8+ hour perfume. Scores: Sillage: 9, Longevity: 9, Scent: 10, Intensity: 9, Season: Autumn, Winter, Price: I got a tester, good price.

Try and buy: this Gem line surprises vanilla lovers again. It opens with creamy vanilla and a touch of tobacco that sweetens the experience without being cloying. It feels like the best parts of Red Tobacco, Stronger With You, and By The Fireplace combined. I don’t detect the oud, but it’s not needed. Longevity and projection are ten out of ten. Another favorite gem, 9/10.
