A surprisingly bitter and bold floral

Rose L'Orange is one big powdery battle of rose versus orange blossom. I quite like this fragrance, and its bold, unique approach.

This could be a unisex scent, and I say this because Rose L'Orange turned out to be a lot less feminine than I expected it to be. I admittedly don't know too much about natural perfumery, and April Aromatics, (as a brand), is fairly new to me.

Mainstream brands tend to give floral notes like rose and orange blossom a soft, sweet and/or fresh aroma. I really wasn't expecting the somewhat bitter and green floral opening, further highlighted by realistic neroli. I came to love the smell after some time on the skin, however the opening did cause me to take a few steps back.

The heart was evidently much smoother. Still slightly bitter, but muskier and sweet. Rose L'Orange smells like something I would expect from Jean Claude Ellena's Hermes range, with vegetal-like qualities and a unique spin on popular accords.

Rose and orange blossom, are two of my most beloved floral notes, however when blended together I'm not so convinced. I like this fragrance, but unfortunately not enough to compel me to wear it again, let alone buy a full bottle.

The longevity was truly fantastic, as was the sillage which projected itself with sudden wafts of floral beauty every now and then. This fragrance is really worth discovering, and now that I've had a taste of this brand, I want to discover more.

*Dull* Orange and Rose...

Rose L'Orange skips any signs of top notes, moving immediately to its heart. During the heart the composition focuses on a strong dull orange and mandarin tandem with a soapy aldehyde-infused rose joining in prominent support. During the late dry-down the dull orange, mandarin and rose notes remain, now softened by moderately powdery vanilla in the base. Projection is average, as is longevity at 8-10 hours on skin.

There is not much to write about Rose L'Orange. The notes indicated in the composition name definitely are present and drive its highly linear development -- what little there is of it. For an all-natural composition this one has a slightly artificial smelling bent to the dull orange, somewhat reminding me of unpleasant orange flavored children's medication. While the composition shares some similarities to this unpleasant childhood memory, Rose L'Orange really is not nearly as bad, and once you get to the late dry-down the powdery vanilla takes a bite out of the dull orange-led floral assault providing the best part of the development by far. The bottom line is the $225 per 30 ml bottle Rose L'Orange is a decent linear minimalist offering from April Aromatics that earns an "above average" 2.5 to 3 stars out of 5 rating. This is near immediately forgettable and even more-so when its relatively high price is taken into account. Pass.

Oh, Love!

I pictured red roses in orange juice and didn't expect to like this one at all, but the first whiff was delightfully bold and then it settled into anomalistic fabulosity for me. If conventional perfumes have been boring you lately, if you like both Florabotanica and L'Heure Bleue, if you...if you. Oh, heck. If the notes appeal, just buy it. I sure am.

p.s. After reapplying and wearing it a day later, am I reminded a bit of orange household cleanser??? Not sure, but for now to be on the safe side change:

Oh, Love!

Oh, Like!

Oil versus EDP

Rose L’Orange is a fizzy orange crème petit fours enlivened with a bitter, green-tipped rose. It possesses an unusual texture that moves from syrupy to powdery without ever straying into sweetness. It feels instantly feels happy, sunny, and maybe even a little sexy, in a good-natured way. It is not dark or cluttered. The orange blossom note in Rose L’Orange also gives the perfume a mealy ‘corn masa’ facet similar to that of L’Artisan Parfumeur’s Seville à L’Aube.

While the eau de parfum stays firmly in the happy place between creamy orange and green rose, the oil version plays up the intense bitterness of the rose otto, with an edge as herbal as a sheaf of freshly-crushed lavender. Volume-wise, the oil is thinner and flatter than the eau de parfum, as if all the notes have been compressed into one line. The oil version is considerably less sweet than the original eau de parfum, even though the original itself is not terribly sweet. The oil lacks both the snappy effervescence of the original format, as well as a certain creaminess, which could be seen as a plus for men. Think of the oil format here as almost a pure Taifi-style rose otto compared to the fully-fleshed-out rose composition that is the eau de parfum.

Schorsch, give it some gas!

Schorsch and Gerd are truck drivers. They make weekly trips from Frankfurt to Valencia and back. Today, they picked up a load of ripe oranges from near Valencia, and before that, they stopped by the tire dealer to get new summer tires for the truck.

Unfortunately, Gerd recently had to surrender his driver's license for a month, so Schorsch has to make the entire trip alone. This forces the two of them to spend the night in the truck. When they arrive at the rest area in the evening, the truck smells of the warmed-up, new tires. This scent mixes with the intense aroma of the oranges, which smell extremely strong. The herbs, especially rosemary, that Schorsch brings for his wife also add a little to the mix.
Schorsch and Gerd go to the rest stop to eat and to air out the truck, as both already have headaches from this orange-tire mixture.

Accordingly, the night goes by, and they set off very early in the morning. It is raining in France, which is not pleasant for the drive, but at least it washes away the tire smell. The oranges have also cooled down a bit during the night and no longer smell as strong. The rosemary note is pleasant, taking away the sweetness from the oranges.

Late in the evening, they arrive at the Großmarkthalle in Frankfurt - they had to make a stop along the way - and look forward to the end of their shift. Hilde still has her baked goods stand open, and a wonderful scent of vanilla pastries wafts into their noses. So off they go to Hilde to enjoy a bit of this delicious pastry.

Then it's off home, both still enchanted by the soft aftertaste of the vanilla in Hilde's pastries - in two days, they are off to Spain again, this time for tomatoes.
