A tea scent for me (infusion time: 3 minutes)
What I particularly like about Oranges Bigarades is the stimulating bitter freshness of a strong black tea that has not been brewed too long. Clearly I smell a good shot of bergamot, which gives the tea the Earl Grey freshness. Orange as a juice or fruit is more in the background behind it, but it seems to me as if orange blossoms, including a bit of bitter neroli, are speaking very lightly and reservedly. The most exciting thing about the fragrance for me is the sweetness. I am very reserved with sweet scents, they don't suit me. But I only perceive the sweetness in Oranges Bigarades as a very light and non-sticky sweetness, such as dextrose, which dissolves quickly and gives energy. Quite different from the syrupy or dessert sweet in gourmand scents. Apropos: I don't find the fragrance creamy and don't recognize vanilla.
I have a little point deduction for a slight artificiality in the later course of the fragrance.
It's not a pure summer scent for me, it always goes.
