Boiled Orange
In search of an invigorating, yet softly bedded summer scent - or let's say quietly: an affordable alternative to the unsurpassable Bigarade concentree - I now have HISTOIRE D'ORANGERS on my skin. Seldom has it been clear so quickly: This is not going to work out with us. Whoever knows and likes Grand Neroli (Atelier Cologne), Vetiris (Lubin) and Bigarade concentree (Malle) can only be disappointed here. Something so lulling and sticky has seldom come under my nose. You can also stand in the garden in front of the Mexican orange flower and express the blossoms on your skin. The result should be similar.
The shrub develops its charm only at a certain distance from the nose. But while you can easily get away from the orange blossom by taking a few steps backwards, you are helplessly at the mercy of the sprayed scent. I am clearly missing the counterpart to the creamy, boiled monothematic of the orange blossom, which is very soft, but also very musty. Invigorating goes differently. If I had to write a package insert, it would say: Absolute danger of headache. And whoever now says: "It's your own fault, it is already written in the description that no bitter orange is processed here", is of course absolutely right.
