Precious Eau de Parfum
by Oriflame
Precious Eau de Parfum by Oriflame is a rich, oriental fragrance with a prominent amber and myrrh base, softly balanced by notes of peach, pear, and mandarin orange. It opens with a light, fruity freshness that quickly evolves into a warm, balmy, and deeply sensual core, featuring jasmine and ginger in the heart before settling into a dry, honeyed amber and myrrh-dominated base. The scent is overwhelmingly oriental, refined, and luxurious, with a lasting presence that lingers through winter months and special occasions. Users describe it as heavy, warm, and hypnotic—ideal for those who appreciate mature, complex perfumes with a vintage elegance. Despite its elegant profile, many users note that the fragrance can be overwhelming or headache-inducing when applied heavily, and some report noticeable inconsistencies across different batches or bottles.
