Orange Blossom

I'm in love with it. It's "orange" like orange blossom all over!! it's soooo special, I just love, love, love it!! First sprits is harsh with a neroli blast and lots of green notes. After a while it settels down and the scent becomes delicious........ The orange blossom starts coming out with a white floral heart.... getting stronger and creamier with a honey dry-down, but whith a lightly woodsy feeling. It's very creamyfresh and feminin! I absolutely ADORE it! This is pure bliss :)) One of my favorite from Lush along with Karma, Love, 25:43 and Ginger... by the way... I love most everything from Lush :)) Jag äääälskar denna doften. Den är "orange" som apelsinblomma i all oändlighet! Den är sååå speciellt, jag bara älskar, älskar, älskar den! Första spritzen är skarp med massor av neroli och gröna noter. Efter ett tag lugnar den sig och doften utvecklas till en läckerbit........ Apelsinblomma börjar framträda tillsammans med ett hjärta av andra vita blommor .... Doften blir mer och mer kraftfullare i sin karaktär samtidigt som den blir krämigare med inslag honung, tillsammans med en luftig träig känsla. Doften är mycket krämigt fräsch och feminin! Jag fullkomligt älskar den! Detta är ren lycka :)) En av mina favoriter från Lush, tillsammans med Karma, Love, 25:43 och Ginger... för övrigt äääälskar jag det mesta från Lush.

*edit* YES! Lush Canada has brought this back and I picked it up. I have yet to do a full day wear test to see if this changed at all from the previous formula. However at first smell, it seems to be the same! I am ecstatic! ————— Omg, I can not agree more with Konga5000, sell this in North America!! I am rationing out the last few drops I have of this amazing scent. To me this is a bright and woody orange blossom. I am a bit confused by comparisons with Occitane’s Neroli & Orchide, as I find that perfume to be soft and feminine; but Lush’s Orange Blossom, although still feminine, is much more of an outdoors, rugged feminine. I have purchased so many other orange blossom scents, including the Occitane, Jo Malone, Serge Lutens, etc to try and find something to replace this one once it runs out, but nothing comes close. I have even tried to mix my own with EO’s of Sweet Orange, Bitter Orange, Ylang Ylang, Rosewood and Sandalwood and have found a combination that brings me closer to Lush’s scent but still not the same *sigh*

This is a honeyed, beautiful orange blossom with depth, smelling like it should be far more expensive than what it is. The ylang ylang and beeswax alongside the neroli and orange flower create a very authentic orange blossom rendering that smells very natural. Amazingly, it also LASTS on me, so I'm surprised at the mediocre performance ratings. I wore this to bed and caught whiffs of it in the morning, so it is one of the few orange blossom perfumes I've found that sticks around! Orange blossom is one of my all time favorite white florals, but I often find o.b. centric perfumes to be too linear, dull, and just uninspired. Lush's Orange Blossom is complex and wonderful, and one of my top three favorite O.B. perfumes, the others being Serge's Fleurs d'Oranger and the unbelievably gorgeous Sonoma Scent Studio's Jour Ensoleillé (if you love orange blossom, check them out!!). Lush's O.B. is a great everyday, affordable option. Another excellent offering from LUSH!

The best orange blossom I've smelled so far. This beats Fragonard Fleur d'Oranger by far. This one is a more mellow and soft orange blossom. The opening is still "soapy" but it quickly becomes a blend of white florals and some discrete honey. The dry down is something else though. On my skin this reminds me a field of clovers... you know those that are sweet and purple in colour. This is it. I grew up in a northern place so I remember the smell of clover fields and not orange blossom... hence the association maybe. I think this is because of the honey which adds some fresh sweetness to the composition. I own the vintage one (small black bottle). I will test the new bottle to verify it still smells the same. Longevity is poor though. 3 hours on my skin :( but for such a realistic perfume I'm not so disappointed. Better when sprayed in my hair.

Orange Blossom is a beautiful perfume, but I think I'm also kind of biased as a white floral freak who also loves waxy citrus. Due to the heavy florals and not being especially sweet, Orange Blossom does lean soapy and a little old fashioned, but I think these also add a touch of sophistication to the frag. The sharp citrusy top notes also have good staying power and sillage, at least on my skin. I think this is precisely because of the florals which also give Orange Blossom its soapy qualities. This frag is also surprisingly versatile and good for layering. I've worn Orange Blossom as an office scent and it still comes across as professional despite being a little bold, and I can easily see wearing this for a night out, especially in warmer weather. As usual, Lush knows what they're doing with the white florals.
