Fragrance description

One day I'll tell you which is the most numerous fragrance note in my collection, but I suspect orange blossom will end up at the top of the ranking. What I can say is that it's really hard for me to stop with orange blossom scents. I just can't get enough and honestly I won't stop either ;)

Fleurs d'Oranger (unfortunately I haven't tried older formulations) is still one of the most interesting orange blossom themed fragrances ever created, but this one is more than just an orange blossom scent, it's like an overwhelming and intoxicating white flower bomb. The cap of the bottle is like the gateway to the paradise garden of liquid happiness.

It seems very dense, thick, like the nectar of white flowers (orange blossom, jasmine and tuberose), which is at the same time creamy, but sharp and spicy (cumin, nutmeg), slightly sweet, but also a bit sour, because it is mixed with citrus accords (lemon zest), which enliven the whole composition and give it a fresh touch. The presence of rose in the floral heart of this composition balances out a slightly white-floral Eldorado. I love the way the scent dances on the skin and the whole experience, which is truly addictive. That's right, the fragrance is unisex and leans towards feminine as you might guess, but I have no problem wearing it as a man.

A must try for any white floral lover.
