Provenance Amongst The Orange Groves

This fragrance has been around at least 2 years, perhaps longer. I bought the fragrance then from a store in Cheshire UK. The bottle I have is the same as pictured above, an EDP with " Provenance Beauty That Doesn't Cost The Earth. With notes of Orange Blossom & Jasmine" The box is cardboard; black with a picture of an orange tree. The fragrance is lovely and perfect for summer. The orange blossom and lemon blend perfectly - they are not screechy. I dont really get the mandarin orange described above, as its a definite orange blossom I can smell. When I think of mandarin I think of tangerine/satsumas which to me have a distinctive aroma. This EDP is smooth and is perfectly blended. It smells far more expensive that it is. I bought the 100ml bottle for around £15 two years ago and its one of the best perfumes released by M&S.

This is a spicy orange scent. People also claim this is a dupe for Byredo Sundazed which I have not smelled. I detect spices like cinnamon, cloves maybe even nutmeg so this is a great transition from summer to fall. I can wear this all year round. This reminds me of Woods of Windsor's Orange Spice with Cinnamon shower gel and lotion combo. It does have staying power of up to 4 hours. But as an oversprayer I do 3 sprays per wrist, crook of both elbows, back of neck and back of knees. Can actually work as a signature scent. This is both refreshing and warming at the same time. Please add the other 3 Provenance variants: Santorini Days (olive and Citrus), Under the Palm Tree (dupe for Soleil Blanc)and Calm after the Storm.

This fragrance is outstanding value. I paid £15 for 100ml edp. I can’t stop spraying it, I might have to get a back up bottle. Superb citrus, neroli and cotton candy with enough musk to give it some longevity and a sweetness that is addictive. It’s interesting that the reviewer below compared it to Sundazed, I will have to try it to compare. Edit: I tried Sundazed and it is pretty much identical!

Super bright orange scent, quite sweet but with a few little hints of spice and just the tiniest bit bitter, but bitter in a citrus zest way rather than a burnt way. Not super strong, I can spray quite a few times without other people getting a faceful of orange, which is good as I'm quite liberal in my application! I adore this fragrance, it's fantastic value and such a cheerful, sunny scent.

Absolutely beautiful. I always thought I disliked orange blossom but this has completely changed my mind. It's a sweet, honeyed, gorgeous delight all about the orange tree. Edit summer 2024- this has been repackaged and renamed by M&S and is now called Citrus Soleil, so glad as the OG had disappeared from shelves and was selling for daft amounts on eBay.
