L'Or de Torrente Eau de Parfum

I have a 50ml bottle with about 75-80% left that I'd sell within the UK - feel free to message me if you're interested :)

It should still be in production it is such a gem. Both visually and olfactorically. To me it smells of oranges, mainly, but in a parfum way. Obviously it is tangerine dominant, with angelica adding it otherwordliness. The third note is a rose and then magnolia. The gorgeous flower petals give it lightness and amplify pleasure. I feel also iris and a drop of cassis. The rich and full of sunshine floral notes with the tangerine top are such a joy. The base is a golden and light amber. It is so perfect. I have 3 bottles, still as good as new. One of my favourite scents. So joyful, feminine and voluptuous. It is in no way amber and coffee. In fact I do not perceive these notes at all. It is perfect year-rounder. Fits any occasion. A very good signature. Today we have 21° C and it is so enveloping. A true beauty. It reminds me of a gentler Seville a L'Aube by L'Artisan Parfumeur. It stops projecting strongly on me at 3 hours mark, but on the skin it is still very vivid and I catch wafts of it for at least 6 hours. If you like deep fruity-floral that feel golden and intense - buy L'Or if you have a chance.

Nem arany, inkább aranyozott 70-es évekbeli alumínium. Túl könnyű ahhoz, hogy az arany jusson róla eszembe. Az arany az ólommal egyező súlyú, nehézfém. Ez itt egy nem túl elegáns, zöldes beütésű fás illat icipici virággal. A kávétól keserű, az angelikától édes, a ribizlilevéltől zöld, a cédrustól mint alapozástól túl könnyű és határozatlan. Az illat olyan, mintha vízen úszna. Nem száraz, nem légies, valahogy nedves, de nem mint egy patak, folyó vagy tenger, hanem mint ami megázott és elázott. Sok a cédrus, a keserű fű és kevés a virág az én ízlésemhez ebben a parfümben.

No single note sticks out to my nose. It's a vaguely spiced sweet floral that smells like a concoction of essential oils. It's pleasant but does not stick out to me. Sillage is quite intimate, longevity is 5-6 hours.

I wonder why discontinue a fragrance that is timeless and so beautiful and unforgettable.

im selling my l'or de torrente edp 50ml! it has around 40ml left and im located in europe. if anyone is interested, send me a message! we will then agree on a fair price :)

I've been given a tiny amount of this fragrance and - beeing aware how rare it is - waited until my birthday to indulge myself with it. This is love from a first sniff...what a gem! I wish I knew it back in the days, when it was available. This would have been my signature. It is a gourmand from previous era, with prominent coffee (chocolatey kind of coffee, to my nose) and rose, it's my first approach and I cannot smell other notes yet. It's a warm - luxurious category: classy but totally approachable. Not for a diva, not for a cold, 'go-getter' type of lady. It's a fragrance for someone who is genuine and people-oriented. Dolce Vita's vibe is here, though the fragrances differ, it's just about this approachable warmth, the comforting aura. What a big heart it has! This is the smell of a person I'd like to become. Like other most creative blends, it is discontinued - but I'm happy I could try it.

Well isn't this a sweet little suprise! I managed to find a 30ml EDP on Ebay after a friend mentioned it, such a beautiful bottle! My bottle arrived today and after a week of wondering whether I made the right decision blind buying it, I have since found that my first instinct was on the money. Gorgeous, coffee fueled, deliciousness, and yet it has a chill to it which denotes itself worthy of this bitterly cold winter's day. This is not one of those fragrances which I will be selling off for a meagre profit, this one is a keeper! This is the best tiramisu in the world served on my wrists, without the calories!

Beautiful bottle and the scent embodies that specific transition period from summer to fall. It has fresh, tart, green top notes, but underneath there is an elegant rose-coffee-cedar. The cedar is subtle, thankfully. The coffee note is especially pronounced, much more than in Cafe Tuberosa, Montale Intense Cafe or Black Opium. It has iris, but it is not powdery at all. The odd thing about this perfume is that it is gourmand, but not sweet. I like it very much, it is a high quality perfume, that smells natural. No synthetic or generic base here. It evokes different shades of brown and falling leaves, with the sun still out. It isn't for everyone, it's more 'niche' than 'designer'. It has medium sillage and about 8 hours longevity. More suitable for daywear, it's not dense enough for going out.

I found this perfume with a very reasonable price, and i loved the shape of the bottle, it is one of the most beautiful flankers that i own. I realy wanted to like this perfume but on me it smells like instant coffee (Nescafe Classic to be more specific) and something citrus... it is an odd perfume and for sure not a blind buy. It does have a decnet sillage and staying power. It is a 5 out of 10 for me, the 5 is for the bottle :)

I first smelled this on a woman when I was working at a small metaphysical bookshop in Sedona in 2008. She procured her arm and I sniffed deeply, intoxicated by the very unique, almost electric - yet comforting scent that was emanating from her wrist. I wrote down the name and ordered a bottle, back when the prices were still reasonable. The scent is sweet , but with unusual hints of coffee and rose wafting intermittently in and out of awareness. When applied subtly, I found it very unique, almost uplifting on a spiritual level. But being a strong scent, it needs to be applied with a very light hand so that it intrigues those in proximity, beckoning them closer, rather than whacking them over the head with its potentially cloying sweetness. It is like the olfactory equivalent of Tiramisu, which its coffee-soaked cake layer and the richness of mascarpone...but with subtle rose added. A lovely and unique scent, too bad it is discontinued and goes for a small fortune. Try to find a small miniature to test.

Sometimes I like to play with colors and shapes on myself, so I wear a T-shirt with a print, an ultra feminine pencil skirt, patterned socks, high heels and gather my hair in a messy sexy bun, I enter the golden cloud of Torrente and go to conquer what is my a little more of the world left. Seemingly incompatible, in essence, together it looks perfect. To me, this is a very cool scent. Italian casualness, despite the fact that at times it reminds me of Burberry Women. Composed of notes of almost diametrical contrast, from the ultimate feminine rose, orchid and iris to masculine cedar, a slightly metallic-harsh verse and bitterly juicy. Vanilla-scented coffee eventually connects both polarities and brings a wonderful balance. Quite solid durability and noticeable aura Too bad it's hard to find.

pm me if anyone is interested in this beauty

I must inform readers that the perfume "L'Or de Torrente" from 2001 is NOT the same perfume "Or de Torrente" which appeared in 1980. The perfumes are completely different. If you are looking for the original "Or de Torrente", you will be disappointed with "L'Or de Torrente" as there are no notes in common other than rose, vanilla and amber.

First of all, the most beautiful bottle! Every time I wear this, I envision a lovely young Maid Marion type of young woman walking in the forest after a spring or autumn rain - the air is a bit crisp. She is waiting on her lover. It is not only her touch and her beauty he longs for, but her scent which perfumes her neck, chest and her long, thick, wavy, hair that falls freely down her back. I wear this to bed often for the sweetest dreams...

This is indeed strange. I am mostly getting a cedar-floral perfumey scent where it is difficult to tell one scent from another. Someone said it reminded them of Chanel #5 and I get that. The coffee note is a subtle undercurrent. There is something bitter and slightly fruity. It could be the cassis. I've never had a difficulty wearing it before, but I know others have, but it could easily be litchi or kiwi too. It kind of reminds me of vomit. Clearly this isn't working for me.

This morning I had a big grapefruit cut open and a freshly made cup of hot, black coffee for breakfast. While inhaling the mix of the scents, I was reminded of the long neglected gem from my collection. I probably haven't worn it since last autumn, and I felt the irresistible need to dig it out and have myself wrapped in its beauty. It is an unmistakably French design, with obvious inspiration from the Arabian esthetics. It is quite a complicated scent: very much similar to the good ol' No 5, from the floral aspect, yet enriched with completely unexpected notes. That coffee thing... the sweet herbs and the amber warmth, plus the whole seriosity of a red rose - create something classy, beautiful, mature, yet original. I could never describe anything else as both classic and unique. I said "mature", but it doesn't equal to "dated" in this case. It does, however, refer to the age and developed taste of the "sniffer" in order to be able to recognize and at least appreciate the beauty of such design, if not to sincerely enjoy wearing it. It is like a qilim: complex patterns, with a strong reference to tradition and origin, and it obviously displays all the hard work knitted in the creation. Nothing fresh or minimalistic about it. Not easy to wear. The very scent can be compared to the TF Cafe Rose, but even more so to Amouage Interlude - just to make a hint for those who are curious, but unable to grasp the idea what it actually smells like, since it is not widely available any more. It is a true fall day today, and L'Or is behaving beautifully! It's been going strong for hours, settled a bit 6h later, but still very noticeable on the skin, where originally applied this morning. It evokes the old meaning of a "true French perfume" - the term which speaks a lot to the elder generations only. If there is one word I should describe it with, it would be WARM.

When I wore this fragrance for the first time, I thought it is very weird. Black coffee and rose. It took two days for appreciate it. It is simply wonderful. This combo is weird but so sensual and elegant. A floral whiffle with an original touch of bitter black coffee. Wonferful bottle to collect.

chi ha già provato con goduria quella sfilza di profumi mediorientali a base di legno e rosa non troverà troppo originale questa gemma, sniffandola ora. il punto è che era stata commercializzata nel lontano 2001, quando accordi di questo tipo sembravano audaci, grazie alla giustapposizione di un effetto aspro, reso dal caffè nero, con note più resinose e gourmand (ambra, cioccolato) e una costellazione di fiori, in cui spicca tra tutte la rosa. bello, attualissimo, fuori produzione da un po'.

If only I detected the gourmand elements of this scent--sadly, I do not. I get old wine.

A warm smoldering sexy fragrance the coffee and chocolate envelope the fruity woodsy notes, wearable day and night my signature fragrance I get compliments from both men & women

L'Or de Torrente is something I received in a swap long ago, and at the time I thought it weird and unwearable. What a difference time makes. I'm down to my last few drops and fear I'll not find anything like it again. For me, the coffee notes turn to chocolate with the blend of the other notes and the addition of rose. At the time of initial application the rose wafts strongly then within minutes it intermingles with the vanillic iris, turning into a strong mocha. After a time the coffee blooms fully, then settles into a soft, genuine amber that unlike other modern scents like Boyfriend, isn't sharp and isn't artificial-smelling. Because this scent has great sillage and projection I recommended it for late fall and all winter, not a warm spring or summer. It lacks a lighter fruit note once the citrus fades and it isn't an spicy oriental that dares you to wear it when it's hot outside. Though it's listed in most places as a floral oriental, L'Or is one of the best of the gourmands. If you're sick of those, try this. It might just change your mind.

Very nice scent, feels like a combination of Burberry for women with added depth from rose and a tiny bit of patchouli. I can see why this is loved by so many. I personally acquired it because I love coffee notes in perfumes. L'Or de Torrente doesn't contain coffee, to my nose at least. The search continues!

This is not discontinued, look at their homepage, and you can order it to Europe countries :)

Why on earth this amazing and mind-blowing fragrance was discontinued? It is one fragrance (and only so far!!!!)that managed to be orange-y and coffee-y at the same time without smelling weird or out of place. Rich, lush and almost creamy scent of coffee plus fruits and flowers. Perfection! Like eating a lemon dessert and drinking a good espresso after that-might seem strange,but give it a try-you will be surprised and will ask for another round! Now, I am the one who does not care about bottles-Montale cans are fine for me as soon as I tell them apart quickly and easily but boy!!!!that bottle was a piece of art!!!

Rich, decadent, floral and caffeinated fragrance. I smell cassis early on a wine scent. The rest of the time it's floral with roses and magnolia. I don't care for magnolia very much but there is an orchid that blooms beautifully in this fragrance as well and I prefer orchids. There's woods towards the dry down. This is a really gorgeous bottle too it looks decorative like you discovered a rare egg belonging to a gigantic bird. This is a spring scent and it always looks great in my dresser table. This is a rather heavy fragrance so you can't carry it around with you. It's mostly floral but the coffee scent pops up before the first hour is over. It's a scent that on me lasts 4 hours. Gorgeous a bit exotic and definitely for the evening.

Whoever made a decision to discontinue this gem, must have been out of their mind.

Oh how I miss this , hunting a bottle of this magic elixir as it got pretty expensive , as I remember the first spray was terrible and pungent but in the next 5 minutes wonders happened and it transformed in a beautiful sofisticated fragrance that I was obsessing with , extremely feminine , delicate , how can I say it better , beautiful warm vanilla just full of sensuality , this is a wow fragrance !

And the spirit inside this magnificent bottle is delightful too; condensed, decanted Love, herself. Sheer magic! Powdery iris, mystical cedar, sparkling citrus, seductive orchid and welcoming coffee puff -all that distills the nectar of Life; ambiguous essence of our existence - never ending struggle of each individual in the all-accepting eye of maternal Eternity. Beautiful, deeply earthy, warm scent , reassuring and humble. Welcome home, son, the bread has been baked specially for you. Happiness is something that needs to be shared. Unspeakable delight!

I have never had the chance to sniff this fragrance but I must comment on the gorgeous bottle. What a work of art! Extremely appealing.
