Orange Smoke by Dries Van Noten, launched in 2022 and crafted by Annick Menardo, is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that seamlessly blends the freshness of citrus with smoky warmth. The composition opens with bright mandarin orange and neroli before transitioning into a heart of jasmine and orange blossom. This floral elegance is then enveloped by an intricate base of incense, myrrh, musk, and balsamic notes, creating a complex interplay between crisp freshness and warm, smoky depth.

Application Tips
Apply Orange Smoke with a light touch — it develops quickly into its smoky base notes. The fragrance is best worn close to skin for a personal warmth rather than projecting widely. It holds up well through the evening without needing frequent reapplications.
