this is an excellent, creamy lavender which is very formal and relaxing at the same time…another great scent from D´Orsay (as well as Arome 3 Tradition). It lasts for several hours as an intensive skinscent which is very pleasant and keeps its refinement. Unisex.
9/10

Arome 3 is an extremely oldschool fragrance.
It´s almost pure lavender with a drop spice and sweetness.
Smells extremly oldschool and dated.
I can´t imagine this on young people.
It´s something for the generation 60+
More masculine than feminine.
But at the age of 60 wearable by both gender.
I prefer the elegant version Arome 3 Tradition.

Used to love this stuff until I became more informed about scents, fragrances, those that I REALLY love and those that love me!
I first smelled Arome 3 on a woman after moving to New York City in 1995. She was exiting a restaurant as I was entering and I couldn’t believe how great she smelled! I asked her, “What is the fragrance you are wearing?” She replied, “Arome 3 by D’Orsay…you can buy it at Aedes des Venustas in the Village.” Well, off I went, bought up the stuff and wore it daily for a couple of years…I never got any compliments though :0(
I recently received several samples of the fragrance after a purchase. Yes, I remember it well but now all I can smell is harsh opening notes of lemon & citrus, mid-notes of lavender, lavender and more lavender and base/dry down notes of well…spicy, harsh lavender & lemon. This fragrance is a cloying lavender potion with some grassy, moss notes (vetiver perhaps?). SCREAMS soapy lavender…that’s about it. Reminds me of the diffuser oil I have in my bathroom. Great silage (obviously) and great longevity. A bit too soapy for me now. All I can think of is “Glade” whenever I smell it.
How times change. It’s an okay fragrance but I’m a bit embarrassed to think I wore this nearly every day of my life for a few years. I want to wear a fragrance, I do not want a fragrance to wear me. Arome 3 is just a bit too over-the-top for me these days. Will not be wearing it again…may it R.I.P.

This was a real mess of notes, straddling many genres, the last time I tried it, so here I go again. The beginning comes to me as a camphoraceous, heady, herbal grass. This falls unfortunately into the bitter herbal citrus category that doesn’t appeal to me, but it’s even worse because the eucalyptus (?) gives it a corrosive, almost urinous feel even though it doesn’t literally smell like piss. I’m sure a lot of this is also due to lavender, again not my favorite note, but you lavender lovers might want to look into this stuff. After a while, it gets a lot weaker and a lot less harsh, maybe more of a sharp, green woods, very gently spiced. It’s actually not bad by this stage; the transformation was both sudden and substantial. The spices have come more to the forefront, creating a slightly balsamic spicy wood, though it’s a bit anisy for my tastes. It would pass for a decent “barbershop” style fragrance, but I don’t see any point in suffering through an agonizing first few minutes when I can buy barbershop fragrances that don’t force me to do that. And it’s not even very strong by this stage either. Kind of an expensive way to waste those first few minutes.

As usual with the D’Orsay scents I’ve tried, the drydown is soft, subtle, and nicely blended, but rich as well. Here we have some “soapy” lavender that is not too strong. The neroli aspect is also clear but again, not too obvious. I don’t get much of the spices or wood, but it’s certainly powdery, so that’s likely iris and the mild (very mild) amber. This is nicely done and natural smelling but I’m just not a big fan of the composition. If you think this sort of idea is for you, the only issue you might have is the strength. However, you can always spray more and that may be fine (I only sprayed once to the chest). I can’t compare it to other niche lavender-oriented scents because I don’t really like this idea, and so have little experience with them.
UPDATE: After 2 to 3 hours, the soapy quality dissipates to a large degree and a very pleasant but (to me) unremarkable skin scent is what remains.

D’Orsay AROME 3 opens very aromatically, with lavender and lots of citrus. From there, the composition becomes more herbaceous and lightly floral before drying down as a classic vetiver/woody scent with good staying power and medium sillage.
AROME 3 is perfect for women and men during summertime: refreshing and subtle, made of Creed-quality ingredients and similar in overall personality to a few different Creeds that I’ve tried. Although this creation is not particularly original, it is very nice, and I’ll be interested to see how it compares in price to other fragrances of this type…
