Orange Blossom

Found the last bottle of this discontinued beauty in Penhaligon’s boutique in Edinburgh. It’s fresh, feminine, very sensual fragrance, which makes you feel real good about yourself. I guess that there are plenty of white florals fragrances available which made people neglect Penhaligon’s Orange Blossom and as a result got it discontinued. However, if you like this profile and still can find it in the store, please give it a try! You are fresh from shower, wearing a pretty white dress in a garden full of greens and flowers and all you have to do is enjoy here and now. Not too bad, ha?! Husband loves it on me too!

Love this one. I adore Orange blossom and there are quite a few scents out there, but many opt for a light, fresh, summer cologne approach but i prefer my Orange blossom to have oomph and sexiness and very few scents go down that path. This one does,there is sensuality, depth and presence, a strong body rather than the light ephemerality that appears to be de rigueur with so many Orange Blossom. It has some sweetness which I am comfortable with but it is not cloying and as with most Penhaligon's creations, it has complexity and multiple layers. As I said....I love it.

This is a beautiful fresh orange Neroli perfume enriched and made creamy and slightly Indolic with Tuberose and Jasmine.This is followed by a warm woody Drydown.There is enough warmth for this floral to be worn in cooler weather and longevity is pretty good.The warmth can be attenuated by combining with Jo Malone Nutmeg and Ginger which shares a comparable Cedar base. Orange Blossom is a highly underrated stunning rich Orange Blossom fragrance that is vastly superior to the Sweet popular orange Blossom scents that currently seem to rule the roost.

Lovely scent: so fresh and sweet, it smells like a beautiful summer night in the country. Neroli and orange are prominent but the tuberose is so creamy and sweet, so enchanting. It's rather rare to find a fresh smell that manages to layer some sweetness without getting cloying or boring: this does it perfectly. As with others Penhaligon's classics, sillage isn't a strong point: it's a quiet scent, that stays close to the skin and even longevity isn't great. In 4 hours is gone. Pity, for such a wonderful scent.

This has to be one of the most beautiful smells, ever. I've watched a review of this, whereby someone describes this perfume as encompassing the whole orange tree...and I totally agree. Elegant, beautiful, summery, happy, refined. I just can't stop smelling myself when I wear this. A wonderful spring/ summer scent. As with all Penhaligons...quite expensive. But this is one that I will always repurchase. Well worth it.
