Orange Infused Jasmine Tea!
I'm not a fan of most colognes. They tend to be too sharp and sour for my tastes. I do like citrus, but for me it has to be tempered with a floral note or with some sweetness. I was craving the smell of oranges for some reason and saw this for sale for only £5 including free next day delivery on Amazon Prime. I apologise for always mentioning it when I get a perfume for a bargain price, but I'm a sucker for a bargain! However, is it a bargain if the perfume isn't very nice or not very long lasting? I suppose not. I was willing to take the chance here because I trust the brand of Bronnley to deliver quality, having had good experiences with their products previously.
Upon first application I am hit by a blast of oranges. Not orange candy or neroli or other orange type scents, but actual orange! It's like that moment when one's fingernail pierces the skin of a fresh orange and that little burst of juice sprays one's hand. Sweet, juicy and authentic. Not sugary at all and very fresh. Quite rapidly on the heels of the orange comes a gorgeous jasmine scent. I was trying to put my finger on exactly what it reminded me of when my daughter asked to try it. She immediately said, "oh mummy, it's just like orange infused jasmine tea!" This is it exactly. It is fresh and sweet and floral. Perfect for a summer's day when lemon, lime or bergamot don't appeal.
After about an hour the orange has calmed and jasmine is more prominent, but it is still a beautiful summer fragrance. It didn't last on my skin for longer than 3 hours, but colognes don't last long anyway. At these prices I'm happy to reapply over and over to get that beautiful orange!
