Mon Oranger

It's very much about the orange! Since I love orange fragra nces (I have about 37) this is a good thing. It has some similarity to Fragonard's Fleur d'Oranger which I also have, but I like this better. I always found Fleur d'Oranger to be too sweet. Mon Oranger is fresher and greener. I purchased the travel size perfume and hand cream to try it. I haven't quite made up my mind if I will purchase a full bottle, but it's quite likely!

Oh my! Upon first sniff my breath was taken for a moment. If you like a naturalistic sweet, green, fresh and spicy orange blossom, this is the one you want to smell. I don’t usually like orange blossom - it can be scentless, thick and cloying, but this is like Cartier Baiser Vole in orange blossom form. Fresh, green and bursting with fragrance. Lovely.

When I first sprayed Mon Oranger I get bitter orange combined a very sharp green violet leaf that lasts about 5 minutes. After the opening settles down it becomes a very pretty mimosa w/ broom combined w/ orange and orange blossom. I am a big fan of broom in perfume and think it should be used more often. Mon Oranger is a very clean and fresh yellow floral w/ lots of orange. Slightly musky in the dry down. I like the musk that Fragonard uses, here. Very clean but not laundry type of clean. Just a fluffy white musk that is always pleasant to smell and easy to wear. This perfume would be easy dumb reach in the spring and summer.

I paired this with my 200 ML EDT, if you love orange blossom, Fragonard didn't disappoint. I was fortunate to get 20% off the US Fragonard Website w/ $99 order Frag022. As usual, Fragonard didn't disappoint. Smells exactly the way orange blossom should, divine. 💘💘💘 For summer stick to EDT, a little goes a long way if you live in a tropical climate. Winter & fall depending on weather, spritz EDP and fresh up with the EDT by the end of the day. I do spray my house w/ the EDT, sheer comfort.

I received a sample and forgot it. But today I opened it and... omg it is white bouquet, joyful, a little bit sweet, a little bit powdered. So innocent and clear. I get honeysuckle too. Nothing green or bitter like the neroli. This is gourmand, as an orange blossom water is, without being a cakes’ smell. Linear, no trick, no surprise, no need to lure. This is the scent of the little girl I used to be and who I’ll always secretly be. Would suit anyone from 9 to 99 y old!
