Nerola Orange Blossom

This is an all-time favorite because it is intoxicatingly gorgeous, and also really very versatile- sexy enough for a date or a night out; non-offensive for work environments IMO; and "natural" enough for an everyday scent. This replaced Lush Orange Blossom (solid) as my favorite orange blossom soliflore only because the Pacifica (note: I have the spray version) has better sillage and lasting power. Lush solids all stay very close to the body, in my experience-- with the exception of Dirty! Sometimes this is what you want (planes, yoga class, etc.), sometimes it's not.. Although I have a pretty conservative opinion about what is "appropriate" and "sufficient" projection of one's scent, this scent is well within my comfort zone. Like the Lush, though, the Pacifica has a very green feeling, which is true to the experience of actually smelling an orange blossom in nature, IMO. And that's why I love it! Side note: I really want to try the new Nest Orange Blossom and see how it stands up to my other two orange blossoms!

Hypnotic, dreamy, simple, lovely, sweet neroli orange!! One of the best pure orange blossom scents. It is quite sweet. [Note: the olfactory pyramid above includes -- spices. Does not exist at all. The "spice" of the neroli blossom and bitter orange oils with the African orange blossom is all that is there] I do love this scent. Clean, fresh light floral orange w just a hint of sweetness. It sits close to the skin for sure. It's perfect for layering under something too!! Downside is longevity. This one stuck with me around 3-4 hrs. I wish it lasted just a bit longer... Although, none of Pacifica's fragrances last too long. I don't know what it is about these simple yet delightful Pacifica fragrances -- I love many of them!! Will be buying back up bottles of this for sure!!

Dropping my son at school this morning, and I was walking near a Dad I know who was wrestling with his daughter and her welly boot.. because it had fallen off in the snow... so I gave him a hand. I overtook him to catch up with my boy and as I passed he must have been on the receiving end of a 4 sprays of Nerola. He said "you smell amazing.. what is that?". Good enough for me. I loved it .. fresh perfect flower. It's what Pacifica do best. French lilac is also awesome. Natural, lasts all day, I don't find it green much at all. Happy, uplifting as people have said. Just what I needed on a drab winter day.

I absolutely adore the opening of this perfume - so fresh, green, herbal, and spicy. After about five minutes it dries down to a nice, soft neroli that's neither too powdery nor too sweet. My husband always tells me I smell nice when I wear this. Most Pacifica perfumes are one note on me; however, this is the most complex Pacifica perfume I have worn and I love it! I find that when I don't know what to put on in the morning, I reach for this. I ended up buying a back-up bottle plus several solids to carry with me. I just wish they made it in a roll-on and a lotion.

When I first used the solid perfume I was worried because it was very "green" and "stemmy" but after a few minutes it warmed up to a sweet and floral authentic orange flower scent. The green notes fall to the back and when you close your eyes you think you're standing under an orange tree in full bloom. Love it!
