  Disappointment. A hint of incense (barely burnt), with some musk and little else. Bland, insipid, and the dry-down is quite meh and generic. I don’t think it’s worth paying €94 for 50ml of this.

  I cannot find the frankincense anywhere. None of them have that frankincense like Loewe 7. Very expensive for the result this perfume delivers, which smells very much of plastic.

  I can’t find any incense in this. None of them have that incense like Loewe 7. Very expensive for the result, as this perfume smells strongly of plastic.

  I was given a sample and tried it several times. It’s a nice scent but not surprising; I expected much more. It smells like straight out of the shower, with a slight talcum powder note. Very subtle and soft. There’s a tiny hint of incense, barely noticeable. It has no projection or sillage. If it were cheap, I’d buy it for post-shower use or wearing around the house, perhaps when going to the shops. It’s a unisex scent; even a child could wear it; it’s innocent.

  I was gifted a sample and tried it several times. It seems a rich scent but does not surprise me; I expected much more. It smells like straight out of the shower, has a certain talcum powder note, is very subtle and soft. A hint of frankincense is noticeable, but minimal. It projects nothing and has no significant sillage. If it were cheap, I would buy it for after a bath or for spending the day at home, going out only to do the shopping with no special occasion. It is a unisex scent; even a child could wear it; it is innocent.

  Wearing a perfume called ‘The Orphan’ doesn’t sound very commercial or tempting at first… But once I tried it and tamed it, it has become an olfactory staple. I wouldn’t wear it every day, but during long seasons (especially autumn/winter) when my mood and monochrome look call for it, this is what accompanies me. I have already used two bottles and have a refill on the go. It evokes the loneliness of a child, the greyness, and the cold stone of a cemetery on a windy, ugly day. Surprisingly, it is frankincense and musk, cold, grey, and linear, yet it comforts me greatly. Among Serge Lutens, I have Ambre Sultan and Santal Majuscule, and although they are theoretically easier to wear, I simply cannot use them. I do not feel as comfortable with them as I do with L’Orpheline. By the way, I have worn it in spring and summer (indoors) with a suit and white shirt, and I felt fantastic. It does not draw attention (it is a basic perfume) but it neither tires nor overwhelms.

  Smells like an adult, not a child (whether orphaned or not), straight out of the shower with La Toja soap. It is the most boring thing my nostrils have encountered lately.

  It smells like an older person, not a child (whether orphaned or not), straight out of the shower with La Toja soap. It’s the most boring thing my nostrils have encountered lately.
