Help me pick something new for my wife.

She wants something with a solid orange note that lasts, alongside rose/floral and amber. Any ideas? $100 tops.

Good call, Nymph!

Not really orange, but the osmanthus note in 1000 Kisses Deep by Lush/Gorilla Perfumes has a lovely & long-lasting "orange marmalade" vibe to my nose.

Anne Pliska has orange along with amber, too.

Boucheron, the women's scent, preferrably in an edp, may satisfy.
Other scents worth a sniff:
Atelier Orange Sanguine
Mistral Clementine

24 Faubourg by Hermes

Serge Lutens Fleurs d'Oranger.

These two can be found on Ebay for less than retail . Also sites like www.parfum1.com do special coupons too that take off 10 % for instance and you can get a good deal of the Serge Lutens there.

Perhaps Jo Malone Orange Blossom

+1 Anna Pliska

( Wild card choice : Parfums d'Empire Azemour. A 50 ml bottle is about $75 from www.luckyscent.com )

Hermes 24 Faubourg might do the trick.

Orange Star by Tauer is your ticket

It is an out of this world tart orange and mandarin, orange blossom floral and rich amber/incense heart.

I found this at LuckyScent. Tilda Swinton-Like This It looks promising. I think I remember trying it a while back and it didn't offend me. It was interesting as I recall. It has the many of the notes you require. There is vetiver instead of amber.
