California Blossom

Oooooh, so I got this as a sample from another purchase and tried it one night before bed. I do not usually gravitate towards citrusy scents so I don’t know if it’s the sweet orange note but I literally thought about this fragrance all day. I’ve actually gotten two samples from Maison Vioet, this being the second one and I have fallen in love their fragrances.

Very nice, and no bad aromachemicals. First thing I smelled was orange blossom and neroli. Lasted about three hours before it became a skin scent, then after that it died rather quickly. I never did get any ylang ylang nor iris. It does remind me slightly of Perdizione, but that one is a favorite of mine, and it much better in my opinion. Stronger, with greater sillage and longer lasting.

Very soapy and very very powdery. It's a little like a sweet soap with a strong neroli note. It is nothing like Le Labo Fleur d'Oranger or Jo Malone Orange Blossom, both of which I own. It is somewhat like Obvious Perfumes Une Fleur d'Oranger, although UFd'O is not at all soapy or powdery and has a more pure orange blossom and neroli smell. It's also like a more powdery Histoire d'Orangers by L'Artisan Parfumeur or maybe Serge Lutens Fleur d'Oranger? It's only okay; to me it's too sweet and far too powdery and I don't like the combo because it's sort of boring.

Has similar lotiony quality found in Eau des Sens Eau de Toilette Diptyque. Not my style

This is lovely..I wore a sample of this yesterday...it's perfect for spring and summer..it's a powdery white floral..I detect some citrus and orange blossom and a faint lavender and dried down to a soft musk.. remind me of Elie Saab but not sharp and suffocating..this is gentle and elegant with moderate longevity but good sillage as a lady followed me out of the store to ask what I was wearing and she said it was wonderful. I definitely want a FB of this very pretty fragrance.. would make an excellent bridal fragrance
