Penhaligon's Orange Blossom is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010, created by Bertrand Duchaufour. Orange Blossom opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Neroli, and Violet Leaf, settles into a heart of Peach Blossom, Orange, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Penhaligon's's Orange Blossom carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a proper mixed bag. Some absolutely adore its creamy, natural orange blossom, while others find it a messy, bitter, green disappointment, bordering on old-school masculine. Try before you buy, as skin chemistry plays a huge role here.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Orange Blossom opens with a zingy burst of citrus and violet leaf, sharpened by pink pepper and cardamom. The heart unfurls into a rich, creamy white floral bouquet with prominent orange blossom, tuberose, and jasmine, softened by a touch of peach and rose. It settles into a warm, sensual base of sandalwood, clean musk, and a whisper of vanilla, evoking the scent of an entire orange tree in bloom, from green leaves to sweet flowers.
