Orange blossom as in...
Perfumer Lucas Sieuzac has worked for Amouage, Jil Sander and Givenchy (to name just a few) and some of his creations are outstanding. Of course I don't know what ORIFLAME told him, but I guess the message was to come up with a fragrance echoing the fruity-flowery accords of two megasellers, Roberto Cavalli's fragrance "Roberto Cavalli" from 2012 and Elie Saab's popular first fragrance from 2011. "Miss Giordani" smells like a cross between the two and while the bitter notes of grapefruit and bergamot are the more original part of the scent, the pronounced neroli heart is extremely repetitive, because it has been done so often in the past five years. "Miss Giordani" is potent and long-lasting and comes in a beautiful vessel with an attractive golden cap. Probably an excellent alternative to the more expensive Elie Saab/Cavalli-group. Not my cup of tea, because I dislike neroli when it's as strong as in "Miss Giordani".
