OR/18
OR/18 is a sweet, citrus-forward oriental that rewards patience. The first minutes feel like sugar-dusted lemon and blood orange with a gentle anise sparkle, then the scent deepens into myrrh incense, a soft white-floral haze, and an herbal cannabis accent. In the dry-down it turns creamy and warm, with vanilla and tonka over smooth driftwood, and a roasted, mocha-bakery impression that some.

OR/18 is often experienced as long lasting, and commonly sits in the moderate range for projection with the ability to push stronger on some wearers.

Notes Pyramid

OR/18 opens bright and sugary with lemon and blood orange, lifted by an aromatic anise-like sparkle. The heart turns warmer and more resinous, with myrrh incense, a soft white-floral glow, and a herbal cannabis nuance that can feel either intriguing or challenging. The dry-down is creamy and cosy, vanilla and tonka over smooth driftwood, sometimes giving a roasted, mocha-bakery impression as it warms on skin.
Main Accords
14 MAPPEDThe sweetness in OR/18 reads like sugar sprinkled over citrus rather than sticky syrup, especially early on. As it heats up, ambered resin and incense wrap around the composition, and the cannabis accord adds an herbal, slightly earthy contour that can tilt either smooth or sour depending on skin chemistry. Vanilla and tonka soften the edges in the base, while driftwood keeps the finish gently dry and woody.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“OR/18 review, sugary citrus up top, incense and cannabis in the heart”
OR/18 by A. N. Other is the kind of fragrance that can change your mind mid-wear. In the air and on the first spray, it can seem like an easy crowd-pleaser: bright citrus, a clear sugar note, and a soft spicy shimmer that reads like star anise. If you only judge it in the first few minutes, you might file it under “nice, sweet, familiar” and move on. On skin, the story usually gets more specific after the initial flash settles.
The opening is a sugared lemon and orange peel moment, juicy rather than sharp, with an aromatic lift that keeps it from feeling like straight candy. Give it 20 to 30 minutes and the scent starts to warm, taking on an incensey depth. Myrrh shows up as a resinous, slightly smoky glow rather than a heavy church-bench effect, and a white-floral tone comes through as a night-blooming jasmine style radiance, creamy and a little mysterious rather than fresh and dewy.
Then there is the signature twist: the cannabis accord. On some people it is the whole point, an herbal, green-brown nuance that makes the sweetness feel grown-up and a bit provocative. On others it can read sour, skunky, or simply “off”, especially early in the wear. Interestingly, even some wearers who dislike the cannabis note at first report that it becomes easier to live with as the fragrance warms and the base notes begin to take over.
In the base, OR/18 leans into vanilla and tonka, giving a creamy sweetness that can feel plush and cosy, with driftwood adding a smooth, slightly dry woodiness that stops the dry-down from becoming syrupy. This is also where the brand’s “edible” language makes more sense for some wearers. Even without a listed coffee note, a roasted, mocha-like, bakery impression can appear as an effect of the sweet resins and warm woods, more like a gourmand aura than a literal latte.
Performance is one of OR/18’s stronger selling points. Many wearers experience long-lasting wear with moderate to strong sillage, the kind that is noticeable without instantly filling a room. It can also wear closer to the skin if you go light on sprays, which suits the intimate, addictive character people describe once it settles.
Who is it for? If you like sweet fragrances but want something with texture and a slightly unconventional edge, OR/18 is worth sampling. If you are sensitive to very sweet “burnt sugar” styles or you know cannabis notes turn unpleasant on your skin, approach with caution. This is not a safe blind buy, but it is an easy fragrance to fall into when the balance clicks, bright at the start, warm and resinous in the middle, and creamy in the dry-down.

Does OR/18 actually smell like coffee or chocolate?+
Even though coffee and chocolate are not listed as notes, some wearers report a roasted mocha, bakery-like impression as the scent dries down, more like an aroma than a literal coffee note.
Is OR/18 more feminine or more masculine?+
It is marketed as unisex and usually wears that way. Some people find the bright, sweet opening leans more “pretty”, while the cannabis, incense, and woods can feel slightly more masculine on certain skin.
What is the opening like?+

It usually sits around moderate, with a noticeable scent trail for some wearers. It can also wear closer to the skin depending on how much you spray and your skin type.
What season is OR/18 best for?+

Dupes & Alternatives
COMMUNITY DUPESCOREIf you love the idea but want something brighter and simpler, some wearers describe a “lemon sugar” vibe in the opening that may scratch a similar itch to fresh sugary-citrus perfumes. If you are specifically avoiding burnt-sugar sweetness, be cautious, one reviewer strongly links OR/18 to BR540-style burnt sugar. For a more tropical-fruity, beachy direction, a few people mention a Miami Glow-like feel, but that comparison is very skin-dependent, so it is better used as a rough reference than a true dupe claim.
