The character of Apple Brandy on the Rocks, composed our way.
Orivale opens on apple, cardamom, pineapple , and settles on ambroxan, cedarwood, oak moss. At 30% extrait de parfum it sits close for the first hour, then reaches — six to eight hours is normal, longer on skin you’ve moisturised.
Wear it for dinners and after dark · meetings and quiet authority. Worn by everyone — we don’t split scent by gender.
Orivale is an original composition by LXPERFUME, created to evoke the scent profile made famous by Kilian's Apple Brandy on the Rocks. It is not the designer fragrance, and we never pretend otherwise — that honesty is the whole point.

Straight answers.
Will people think I’m wearing Apple Brandy on the Rocks?
That is exactly what it was built to do. Orivale was composed to land in the same register as Kilian's Apple Brandy on the Rocks — the ambroxan and cedarwood signature people recognise from across a room, at 30% extrait de parfum — roughly double the fragrance oil of a designer eau de parfum. It is our own formula rather than theirs, and that is precisely why it is $34.99 instead of $415. You keep the impression, and the $380.
What does it actually smell like?
It opens bright on apple and cardamom and pineapple — the first ten minutes, the part people catch as you walk past. It finishes on ambroxan and cedarwood and oak moss — still on your coat the next morning, still earning the question.
Is this a Apple Brandy on the Rocks dupe?
Most people call it that, and we are comfortable with the word. What you are buying is an original LXPERFUME composition built to sit in the same scent register as Kilian's Apple Brandy on the Rocks at extrait strength — sold openly under our own name, in our own bottle, at $34.99. We compose rather than copy, which is why our name goes on the front and why we will take it back for thirty days if it is not for you.
How long will it last?
Six to eight hours, and often past midnight on fabric. Extrait de parfum carries 30% fragrance oil — about twice a typical designer eau de parfum — so it is still working long after a lighter concentration has gone. Sweet, resinous notes like these are among the longest-wearing in the house. Spray it on moisturised skin at the pulse points and you will get the full arc.
What does it cost me?
$34.99, against roughly $415 for the designer bottle — 30ml at $34.99, 50ml at $44.99, 100ml at $54.99, and the largest size works out cheapest per millilitre. Every order ships free in the U.S., and any two bottles take $10 off automatically. You have thirty days to change your mind, even after opening it — so the only real risk is that you like it.
