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.

This is the perfect summer scent! Very gentle, clean, floral orange blossom, not a bitter or woody neroli. It's a young fragrance, very innocent, paired perfectly with a touch of jasmine and peach; the faint note of tuberose helps to ground it. Inoffensive and beautiful perfume. A safe blind buy if you like suble florals, or if you wish to layer an orange blossom over another soft scent.

I love this so much!! It’s a creamy, fresh, orange blossom that I can’t get enough of! It’s a straight up orange blossom scent! It opens up spicy but dries down beautifully!!! The longevity on this is all day and it’s Sillage on me is amazing! This is one of the safest scents I can wear around everyone without offending anyone. It’s a classy scent 🥰

Lovely stuff. Orange blossom meets other flowers. Slightly on the feminine side of unisex but I love wearing it. I bought it at the same time as Castile (which is also Orange Blossom based though very different in execution) but so far at least it's this one I wear most.

I am loving this definitely. My daily go to scent now and I only got this in the 30ml so I feel the need to restock! It changes though. Some days it comes off sharp but sometimes it comes off creamy which is intruiging. Some may say it’s linear but it isn’t for me.

Orange Blossom is a comforting scent for me that creates an aura of calm. It has a creamy neroli and soft white floral opening. The drydown turns a bit more like sandalwood. I love Orange Blossom for before bed or when I want a tranquil feeling around me.

Creamy orange blossom on a sunny day. Small hints of jasmine in the background. Zero tuberose, thankfully. It's light and fresh and sophisticated. Nothing like Diptyque Do Son, which is heavy tuberose and gardenia. Really lovely, summer scent.

Penhaligon's has perfectly captured a warm evening spent relaxing among orange trees, their intoxicating flowers in full bloom. There’s a little citrus in the air but the star of the show is creamy, sweet, honeyed orange blossom.

The longer I own this, the more I love it. It's sweet and soapy but also spicy and woody. Why Penhaligons would choose to discontinue this is beyond me.

Lovely and light. Reminds me of my first summer in London. I wish they were still making it.

Very innocent Orange blossom itself. I love the crayon scent in it!

Unfortunately I was told its discontinued

Bought this at a bargain price and for a long while, it remained in its attractive black packaging. When I finally got around to uncorking the bottle and taking an initial splash, I found it just a pleasant orange, but nothing more. Revisited again recently and really took time to explore the scent, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that there is so much more to it than the sparkly bright orange notes I had picked up and dismissed. On first application I immediately smell orange and (strangely) smoke - quickly followed by an overwhelming bergamot, which with earlier notes gives an impression of sun-bleached grass. This layer lingers like the diva's end note - but for the duration of the song. Although the perfume doesn't contain it, I detected what smelled like incense starting to peek through somewhere in dry down - it must have been the sandalwood. The orange disappears, and is replaced with a musky base note and spicy vanilla essence which clings to the skin and reminds me of the faint scent of old paper and hot dusty library. I admit that this is perhaps not everyone's idea of lovely, but then I've always enjoyed the scent of things that others find odd - like incense, tarmac and creosote. Penhaligon's Orange Blossom is a warm and comforting scent, a long-lasting base note clinger with very little sillage (at least on me anyway). I can't stop breathing it in.

Tuberose disguised in an orange blossom bottle. The top notes are very tame, transparent and complex. Citrus from neroli, transparency from violet leaves, a hint of contrast from pink pepper. So far, it's true to its name. After 20-30 minutes, this fragrance unfurls into a tuberose scent on me. A touch of orange can be detected. The orange note is sweet rather than zesty or overly citrusy. After the transparent top notes are gone, the perfume becomes quite dense and plush. The tuberose in the heart is similar to Diptyque's Do Son edp, opaque and peppery. This dries down to a sandalwood-heavy musk. The more time I allow this scent to develop, the more intense it gets. I agree with a previous reviewer who mentioned the interchangeability with Diptyque's Do Son. The expression of tuberose is very similar between the two fragrances, having said that, Penhaligon's is overall more complex and offers a old-world-like muddier, woody dry down.

i think this fragrance has macerated quite a bit because it is so much creamier smelling now and lasts longer than when i first opened it several months ago. it was a blind buy because penhaligons was having a huge sale of unboxed inventory. i think this is a very true orange blossom. honestly i don’t pick up on any other notes except maybe a bit of musk. it’s grown on me a lot. i don’t know why, but for some reason this seems to me what joan didion would have smelled like. something about it just exudes california in the 1970s, in a grove of orange trees by a patio and pool in spring. it’s a little mature but not to a point where i feel like i as a 23 year old smell too old when i wear it. it’s just creamy and nice. i don’t think it’s worth the full price however. it lasts about 5 hours on me. i adore penhaligons bottles so i love the look of this.

This is a truly authentic orange blossom scent. It's not necessarily what I would call pretty, but it has depth and complexity and is quite intoxicating. It opens with a burst of citrus and leafy/stemmy notes, before settling down into a deep and slightly soapy neroli, with woody undertones. It's very much a 'whole tree' scent. I do understand the criticism that it might seem overly masculine or rough to some people. Orange blossom has never been a delicate scent to me, but I wouldn't call it masculine either. To me this scent is truly unisex and ageless. I'm very interested to compare it to Jo Malone's take on orange blossom.
