The dominant white floral and woody accords merge smoothly on warm skin. Ylang-ylang provides a honeyed yellow floral weight, while creamy sandalwood softens the jasmine, preventing any sharp, indolic edges as it dries down into a powdery finish.

Fragranxe Review

EDITORIAL
“Oriflame More by Demi Review: A Dense Golden Floral with Sandalwood Depth”

Oriflame launched More by Demi in 2012 to mark the company's 45th anniversary, tapping perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin for the composition. Right from the first spray, it makes no attempt to follow the light, sugary gourmand trends that dominated catalog shelves at the time. Instead, it hits the skin with a substantial, golden presence that feels deliberate and structured.

The fragrance opens with a brief splash of white peach and green mandarin, accented by soft heliotrope. That fruity brightness lasts barely fifteen minutes before the mid notes push through. The transition is fast and decisive. White peach drops into the background while dense yellow ylang-ylang, orange blossom, and rich Arabian jasmine take full control of the heart.

On skin, the accord behavior is remarkably creamy. The white florals do not smell screechy or sharp; rather, they feel weighted down by smooth sandalwood. As the hours pass, the floral volume dials back slightly, letting a powdery combination of white lily and clean musk mingle with the woodiness. The sandalwood here has a lactonic quality that rounds off any green edges from the jasmine.

Performance is strong across cold-weather testing. Three sprays on chest and wrists easily yield seven hours of continuous wear, with the first two hours projecting past arm's length. Because the blend is dense, it cuts through crisp winter air effortlessly. It feels right at home paired with a heavy wool coat, dinner attire, or formal evening occasions.

While the marketing leaned into Hollywood glamor, the actual juice smells closer to nineties designer classics than modern celebrity releases. It shares clear structural DNA with fragrances like Chanel Allure, favoring thick ylang-ylang and woody warmth over light aquatic freshness. That density means it will feel too heavy for teenagers or anyone seeking an airy daytime cologne.

More by Demi remains one of Oriflame's most impressive releases. If you come across a well-preserved bottle on secondary markets for reasonable money, it delivers rich, retro-leaning white floral performance that punches well above its original catalog price tag.

FAQs

What does More by Demi smell like?+

It opens with a brief splash of white peach and green mandarin before quickly settling into a dense floral heart. Ylang-ylang and jasmine dominate the middle phase, creating a honeyed bloom texture. The dry-down relies on creamy sandalwood and musk, which give the white florals a smooth, woody foundation suited for chilly weather.

How does the fragrance evolve from opening to dry-down?+

The initial spray delivers bright green mandarin and sweet white peach alongside subtle heliotrope. Within twenty minutes, the fruity top notes step aside as ylang-ylang and Arabian jasmine take center stage. After two hours, the composition settles into a warm, creamy sandalwood base with lingering white lily and soft musk.

How long does More by Demi last on skin?+

You can expect six to eight hours of noticeable wear on skin from three or four sprays. On heavy fabrics like wool coats or cashmere scarves, the sandalwood and white floral notes linger for well over twenty-four hours, remaining easily detectable until clothes are washed.

What is the sillage and projection profile?+

Projection starts strong during the first ninety minutes, creating an arm's length scent trail indoors. As the initial white peach fades, the sillage settles into a moderate, cozy aura around hours three to five. It stays present without completely overpowering a small dining table or enclosed office space.

Which season suits More by Demi best?+

This composition thrives in cold weather, particularly during late autumn and deep winter. The density of the ylang-ylang and sandalwood combination can feel cloying during humid summer heat, but crisp winter air allows the rich white florals to project with impressive clarity and warmth.

What occasions are best for wearing this perfume?+

The rich floral profile fits evening events, formal dinners, theater visits, and winter holiday parties. It carries a traditional sense of glamour that matches structured coats and evening wear better than casual gym clothes, lounge outfits, or beach daywear.

Is More by Demi strictly feminine?+

The formula leans strongly feminine due to its prominent yellow ylang-ylang and white jasmine core. However, enthusiasts who enjoy vintage woody florals or sandalwood bases will find its warm, creamy dry-down approachable regardless of gender rules.

Who is the ideal audience for this scent?+

This perfume appeals to fans of classic, full-bodied golden florals who prefer substance over light citrus colognes. If you enjoy scents like Chanel Allure or vintage floral wood compositions, the combination of jasmine and sandalwood will feel right in your wheelhouse.

Can you layer More by Demi with other fragrances?+

Because the white floral and sandalwood accords are quite dense, heavy layering can quickly feel overwhelming. If you want to experiment, try pairing it with a straightforward single-note vanilla or a dry cedarwood oil to emphasize the woody base while softening the ylang-ylang intensity.

How does More by Demi compare to Chanel Allure?+

Both fragrances share a warm backbone of ylang-ylang, jasmine, and creamy sandalwood. Chanel Allure features a brighter peach-citrus balance and polished polish, whereas More by Demi leans slightly heavier on yellow floral sweetness and powdery heliotrope at a lower original price tier.
