Same old, same old....
Entre Naranjos is inspired by the vibrant citrus groves of the Mediterranean and the verses of the famous Andalusian poet Antonio Machado, ‘Entre Naranjos’ is an ode to the orange tree featured in one of his poems. As someone who has encountered numerous citrus fragrances in a similar vein, I must admit that as the years go by, it’s become increasingly challenging to impress me. Unfortunately, not all the fragrances I encounter can inspire me to write more about them than what they actually are. Here are my thoughts.
TOP NOTES
The composition is well-blended and represents the kind of natural scents one would experience while walking through an orange grove. The orange is refreshing and balanced, thanks to the inclusion of neroli and petitgrain. It offers a deep and rich experience, yet it feels familiar and reminiscent of fragrances encountered elsewhere. I also detect a candy-like orange quality during the opening minutes for some reason, which I personally dislike. However, this is a matter of personal taste. And, no, there’s no mint whatsoever.
HEART NOTES
Seeing that the cinnamon note is listed in the heart notes, I was surprised to see that it is nowhere to be found here. The initial burst of aromatic florals and fresh citruses continue to play the role with additional greenness and bite from petitgrain and neroli. A truly refreshing combination of familiar notes that are hard to dislike.
BASE NOTES
Unfortunately, what we got at the end is reminiscent of aromatics and citruses sitting atop the white musk and a clean patchouli that smells like it lost all of its personality. Ultimately, a nice experience that is enjoyable and kind of dull, to be honest.
CONCLUSION
Not everything I review can be a superstar, and that’s just the way it goes. Not every piece of music is meant to be enjoyed for decades, nor is every new movie a masterpiece. Entre Naranjos is simply an okay fragrance with its purpose on warmer days when you want to feel fresh for a couple of hours.
