Orange Blossom

Orange Blossom is exactly what its name promises - a single-minded ode to the orange flower. It opens sparkling and green-bright with fresh neroli and a flicker of bergamot, the citrus-leaf side of the blossom that smells like sun on a Mediterranean terrace. The heart is all orange blossom: lush, faintly honeyed and softly indolic, lifted by a touch of jasmine and a green stem freshness that keeps it from turning cloying. The drydown is clean and understated - a soft white musk with a whisper of honey and pale woods that lets the flower linger close to the skin. As an inexpensive soliflore it trades the depth and slow honeyed evolution of a premium orange-blossom for a flatter, more straightforward bloom, and the wear is on the shorter side, fading toward a light skin scent within a few hours. Still, it is a genuinely pretty, sunlit orange-blossom that wears beautifully in warm weather - an easy, affordable everyday floral.
