Orange Brandy
Note Profile
About
Orange peel married to a brandy base. Grand Marnier is the clearest referent: cognac blended with the distilled essence of bitter orange. Zest opens it, then oak and vanilla from the barrel come up underneath.
Scent Profile
Orange Brandy smells of orange zest rising first, a bright citrus opening. Warm vanilla and toasted oak come up underneath, sweet and dry woody at once. A brandy richness sits beneath the citrus, felt rather than smelled on top, giving the note a boozy depth beyond a simple citrus liqueur. A rich, macerated fruity intensity runs through the whole thing.
