Like a dried up bunch of orange leaves

Today I was cleaning out a sorting box filled with notes and found a bottling I had bought earlier this year. Fortunately, I had made a note of it in my notebook straight away. However, after sniffing the spray head, I decided to try Orange Blossom by Organic Glam later. Because it probably wouldn't be a fragrance I would like. -
And had forgotten about it until today. So I immediately sprayed Orange Blossom blindly on my wrists without checking here. And found my vague suspicions confirmed.
At first, I was met with a sultry, oppressive neroli. I was irritated at first, surely it's called "Orange Blossom"? Why did my sense of smell also want to perceive tuberose? Oh yes, I remembered, I had already tested the tuberose fragrance from Organic Glam. Nevertheless, I smelled tuberose for a while. To be on the safe side, I checked the label on the bottle again with a magnifying glass.
And so far it has remained a kind of dull, dry quasi-cologne. The orange blossoms seemed to me as if they had been hung up to dry in an attic a long time ago with the twigs and leaves attached and forgotten. There they were, tired and shrivelled into crumbly gray leaves. Only a bland, dry, slightly dusty, moldy hint of the former freshness still rose up with the dust when I disposed of them. That's what I smelled. What I found really annoying was an eco-like smell, which I had identified as chamomile after some misinterpretations years ago. According to my information at the time, it was a fixative for organic fragrances. But I can't stand chamomile aroma in any form and also can't tolerate it in teas and the like.
Orange Blossom also has the specific dull terpene smell of real rosewood oil.
Now almost 8 hours have passed. Now, from my wrists, I perceive an almost skin-deep scent of neroli and brighter citrus notes, which, although still eco-like, is more lovely, slightly sweet and smooth. The dull, dusty notes have disappeared. But I miss the invigorating, sparkling citrus notes and a more radiant orange blossom note. In any case, colognes and predominantly citrus fragrances are not among my favorite perfumes. Organic Blossom will therefore never make it into my collection.
