Where does sweetness end and salvation begin?
No - the headline is not meant to be quite heretical in relation to the fragrance, but it is a bit obvious.
Finally Sweet Redemption rumbles almost mercilessly with his opulent orange blossom sweetness, as if there were no tomorrow left. The orange blossom threatens to weigh almost tons on this fine soft vanilla background. A bit of bubblegum characteristics can't be completely dismissed and if you listen carefully you think you can perceive some neroli, which wouldn't be so strange.
As far as benzoin is concerned, this one, together with the incense, later appears to be quite restrained, for how are the two supposed to assert themselves with so much orange blossom?
At the very first run, I would have guessed that there might be more flowers like tuberose or heliotrope in the game, but that's probably just imagination. It would be interesting if someone had had a similar experience.
The fact is, however, that Sweet Redemption seems somewhat overmodulated for my personal taste. In addition, something has gotten into it that makes the composition seem slightly unclean (and by that I don't mean the above-mentioned flowers). And after many hours of wearing one longs towards the end for some more development. So much orange blossom saturates the nose at some point.
And I can't help but compare the fragrance with Soir de Marrekech by Abderrazzak Benchaâbane, which is definitely the reference for orange blossom. Was here years ago on Parfumo a secret tip and still has its justification as a top fragrance.
