Pleasant, realistic orange tree, aptly named
4160 Tuesdays The Orange Tree is the delightfully realistic scent of an orange plant—fresh, green, tart, and fruity. Its key notes are mostly centered around the orange plant itself, fittingly: orange flower, sweet orange, mandarin, clementine, blood orange, petitgrain, and woods. I definitely get the petitgrain note, its heartiness anchoring the other various components of the orange. It feels full and complete, though, from roots to fruit.
The Orange Tree is a bit like the orange zest / icy citrus concept I’ve seen in other fragrances, but done much more effectively, conjuring the actual plant rather than a recreation of a synthetic food item of sorts. Zara’s Orange Zest does this reasonably well for the price but does not really compare to The Orange Tree in terms of quality.
It performs modestly, so not nearly as well as most of the darker creations, but that’s to be expected with its note breakdown. While I do love a super-strong fresh fragrance, the goal, I feel, in a fragrance like The Orange Tree is authenticity, and in that respect, it’s a great success.
I do not believe that it is yet available at US retailers but should be at some point in the future, I imagine. I certainly recommend trying a sample or ordering one from your next haul from the main site, as The Orange Tree would nicely complement any collection.
