Trying to find a nice orange smelling cologne that has a nice lasting time. Hermes d'Orange Vert cologne is my favorite but just doesn't last long at all. Any recommendations? Thanks.
A little help please

Might be tough to find a good quality, long-lasting citrus. Citrus notes are very volatile and burn off pretty quickly. That's why they're mainly used as top notes.
I don't have an awful lot of experience w/citrus scents. The few that I do have -- Creed's Bois de Cedrat & Cuir de Russie, Pen's Extract of Limes, C&S Neroli -- aren't terribly long-lasting. Still, I'm sure there are choices out there. No doubt other folks will chime in.

Bond No. 9 Little Italy and Atelier Orange Sanguine
Pens Orange Blossom lasts a good amount of time, but its very sweet and powdery.
MFK APOM has actual orange blossom, so its a bit more flowerly and less citrusy, but smells SOOO good
Creed Orange Spice is very well regarded as well

Try Roger Gallet Bois D"Orange-lasts longer than most on me. It also won't break the bank. It rarely gets any mention here.
The added benefit of Number Six is that you can often find it at TJMaxx or Marshalls for very cheap. My last bottle was $11 on clearance. BTW I wore it today!
Terre d'Hermes does have orange listed on some fragrance sites. Orange is the first association for me when I think of this scent. But I think orange sticks to my mind rather than to my skin when I apply some TdH.
I am not personally familiar with the d'Orange Vert, but if you can find it, Crown's Imperial is a wonderful Eau de Portugal type of fragrance that truly lasts the entire day. Somewhat sweet, but not over the top in that department, predominantly orange in it's composition, and generally a joy to wear. Perhaps a bit heavy for the warmest months, but even then it's quite wearable. Be warned that it can, and will stain light colored clothing as it's a dark orange color that has been reported by some to even stain skin. A sample would be well worth your time, if you can't find a reasonably priced bottle.
