About This Perfume
Jean Charles Brosseau Ombre Orientale comes across as smoky rose and berry jam over oud. It opens with pink pepper, apple and bergamot, moves into rose, orange blossom and raspberry and settles on Oud, patchouli and amber. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. It suits date nights and nights out. Released in 2013.
Wearers report that it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something amber forward and cozy for date nights.
- Sample first if: oriental is new territory for you.

Around $87.
