Oranzo

I really love this perfume. Opens with such an uplifting sensation of being under an orange tree - wild, green, aromatic, crisp. Within a few minutes the botanical smell fades to a simpler sweet neroli. And within an hour or so, it finishes with a vaguely green and earthy musk, which I pretty soon stopped being able to smell, but which my partner said smelled "spicy" for up to 6 hours from application. Curiously, the bottle smells like sunscreen. A lovely Mediterranean pick-me-up. Edit: The opening of this has a special place in my heart, but the drydown is a bit too reminiscent of a hand soap we use :( I wish I could hold on to those top notes forever! Honestly I might buy the bottle just to spray it in the air and smell it lol

This is a detailed and sensitive, literal interpretation of orange blossom. That’s what I was looking for in it, and I’ve not been disappointed. It’s delightful. Oranzo starts chilly and green, and the leafy quality carries through as it warms over the first hour. After ten minutes it feels literally like an orange grove in the fall. It’s a heady, creamy orange flower with the greens still drifting through, and just the barest reminder of warm earth at the base. The orange blossom carries clearly through the dry down, but the green warms down to an earthy musk. If you’re looking for a day’s walk through an orange grove, this is it.

I've picked it up in the samples set as a bit of a "might as well" and sprayed before shower, not expecting to like anything orangey anyway, as I've recently tried Armaf Club De Nuit Intense Man, which people say smells like Aventus and Sauvage, but on my skin it smells like a manly orange peel and I don't like it... This just smells like jasmine shampoo and I love it! Wouldn't wear it personally and not on a normal day, but imagine it would be nice for a lady on spa day.

Lovely! Fresh, herbal, citrusy- so natural. Truly like being in an orange grove in spring. It has such a brightness which of course is great for spring/ summer but I am wearing it on a snowy day -plays well with its icy nature. It projects very well (the cold?) I don’t gravitate to “green” fragrances usually but something (neroli?) keeps it from being too sharp. Unisex. I am not sure if others would like to smell it on me, but I love it on myself.

The green notes in this are what really do it for me. I tried this on while in Paris in early March. It was chilly and damp but some bulbs were emerging and you could sense that spring would be in full bloom in just another few weeks. As I went about my day I kept getting a whiff of this and it was unexpected but perfect. A sweet orange blossom just wouldn’t have fit. This is icy and green and I’ve worn it in every season but fall and adored it.
