This is interesting. It definitely has a spicy oriental vibe but also a masculine aquatic element that doesn’t quite reach “classic bro-cologne” levels. The litchi and coconut stand out and give it an interesting sweetness.
Sadly the longevity was squarely in the 4-5hr zone

Bought this as a blind buy, and I’m quite happy with the result. I’m surprised to see this listed as an oriental woody fragrance, to me it’s a straight up citrus. In fact, I think it’s a dead ringer for Creed’s Virgin Island Water at a much more affordable price point.
The open is a kicker, a nice crisp lime citrus scent with a hint of sweetness (I’m guessing the vanilla and pineapple, and perhaps the litchi?) and coconut. The coconut maintains into the drydown, with the addition of a masculine floral (jasmine and geranium). This then settles into a floral and coconut scent, which smells divine.
Unlike some other coconut-based fragrances, this doesn’t smell like sunscreen. At the same time, I can imagine wearing this on the beach, while sipping on a pina colada (which I happen to hate, but that seems like the appropriate drink for this fragrance). Definitely perfect for the beach.
Longevity is decent, I get around 5-6 hours with moderate sillage.
I should mention that the reviews below mention a metal bottle. However, mine is glass with a metallic finish – it appears the packaging may have changed.

Another blind buy that I may regret…
It smells just like another frag that I own and love…Kouros Silver. Longevity is much worse, though. I just don’t see the need to own both. Will I ever learn?
4/10

This is a beautiful mens oriental that women can wear too. If you can handle the strength of original Opium, this leans much more vetiver than most, so know that going in but this is a fun one for layering. Fresh woody herbal going on..Lasts forever! 🙂

Smells like Azzaro Now for Men, plus coconut.
Sweeter too, very clean and holiday feeling.
Not the most original and distinctive fragrance, but pleasant to take with you if you go on vacation. The aluminium bottle is also a nice advantage for this purpose. Light and unbreakable.
A solar summer fragrance.

Perhaps the most exciting thing about this one is that people try to figure out whether it suits men or women. I’m quite neutral on that issue, as I find that Sud Pacifique’s fragrances are generally unsexual. Hence, like other offerings, this one would make a fine fragrance to scent your home, but not necessarily yourself.

There is something rather salty in Mage d’Orient. I have to assume it’s the unlisted “algae” note. After that the strongest notes to my perception are tonka, lime and coconut. Mage d’Orient is simultaneously citrusy, creamy, woody and aromatic.
Because of a number of typically masculine notes / note combinations (tonka+lavender, vetiver, geranium) it’s easy to dismiss Mage d’Orient as just another male aquatic. A side by side comparison with a typical aquatic (in this case, FCUK Summer Him) largely puts this idea to rest. Perhaps it’s the creamy coconut + white florals, but something sets this fragrance apart.

Comptoir Sud Pacifique MAGE D’ORIENT is listed at some sites as unisex, but to me it seems more masculine than feminine. The funny thing is, I cannot figure out exactly why! The composition is truly bizarre, combining woody oriental with gourmand and fresh aromatic notes. Sounds like a mess, I know, but it smells likable. I agree with a reviewer at a German site, that this composition has a chameleonic quality to it–and small wonder, given all of the many different notes!
I cannot claim to be able to identify most of the notes, but I do perceive many qualities in waves: freshness, creaminess, woodiness, sweetness, herbality. I believe that there is also some sinus-clearing iso-E-super, aka “radiance” implicated. During some wears, I’ve found the coconut milk note to be more marked, but today, MAGE D’ORIENT is wearing more like a high-end (well-made) designer aromatic woody cologne.
I do believe that this would be a great choice for a vacation: it’s upbeat and fresh without smelling like soap or cleaners or shampoo. I dislike the aluminum bottles of this line, but they do clearly seem like a good idea for traveling, since the glass bottles may break.

I searched for some frags with my fave notes; coconut, pineapple, jasmine and vanilla, and this was on the list. I bought it on a blind buy and When I received it the other day I was so excited to spray it on, wow am I pleased I got this. Pretty packaging, with a nice aluminium bottle. The frag starts off with citrus, the lime. It then smells sweet. I get the pineapple, and sweet fruits. It then goes floral, a masculine floral. Simply beautiful. After a few hours on my skin, it gives a beautiful and soft, florally vanilla, sweet coconut smell. I could not stop smelling my wrist. I seriously love this frag. It reminds me of a tropical garden. A great unisex smell. My friend, a fragrance fanatic, never heard of it, but he loved it too.

“Mage d’Orient” has three distinct stages on my skin: it opens heavy on the fruity notes and I can most of the fruits listed above. It’s citrus with the lemon, sweet with the pineapple and litchi, and tropical with the coconut. Actually, the coconut is the main star of this fragrance.
Then “Mage d’Orient” becomes a little bit floral, mixing the star coconut with jasmine and orange blossom. At its final moment, we have the traditional CSP’s vanilla base with some vetiver and cedar. Oh, and have I mentioned the coconut again?
I wouldn’t say this is a feminine fragrance. It’s more on the masculine side, but who am I to say something? I have and use “Princesse Muskat”! lol
“Mage d’Orient” has great staying power on me and has a really nice tropical sillage.

This is for men! It’s quite sexy, I would classify it as woody aqutic (or actually aquatic woody). I love it!
dyusha8 – :
i think this is womens perfumme,but users classified it as mens scent.i find MAGE D’ ORIENT in womans and unisex version. i think both of them are the same product but seller named its gender in self opinion.(if i was seller, i had named its gender in women.in that way its easy to sell.women are easy buyer.)
QuiellalAdada – :
i think C. Klein’s “Euphoria” for men ripped off Mage D’orient.

There may be a mistake with the listed gender of this one. I can only find this fragrance in a woman’s version.
