You don't wear that?
I often press the "You don't wear that?" button, but that's because I like to confuse the "What are you wearing?" field with the search field (am I the only one this happens to all the time?). I rarely use two things in one day, which corresponds to a genuine need for correction.
With Entre Naranjos, I was tempted late in the morning to declare the scent prematurely finished with a click. As much as the opening could be considered a truly wonderful fulfillment of the title ("Between Orange Trees"), the subsequent offerings could hardly keep up - in two respects. What a shame.
The start is indeed hard to surpass in deliciousness. More orangey than a solo orange could ever be. Simply wonderfully fresh on an early summer morning, undoubtedly thanks to the bundle of companions: There's particularly Neroli; but also Bergamot or Lime. Both seem plausible to me, although the pendulum swings more towards Bergamot as it progresses; the betrayer is an oxymoronically fresh cheesiness.
The fruit is quickly and elegantly complemented by green leaf. The fact that vanilla appears already doesn't matter; it has rather the same supportive effect as a pinch of sugar in a savory dish. But within hardly an hour, the orange is gone again. Remaining acidity combined with Patchouli roughness saves a certain impression of freshness over time, but with orange it has at most to do with a lingering memory.
Two hours may have passed, then the first field, forest, and meadow amber already carries a good part of the burden. Soon, the scent resembles a kind of sweet-sour candy. A bit like nimm2, a bit like honey. The remaining camouflage building-block citrus freshness struggles to keep up. In the fourth hour, only dusty-waxy-vanilla standard amber remains. And even that, usually fond of sticky penetration, disappears before lunchtime. The end.
Hmm. The departure of a fruity top note doesn't inherently provide grounds for complaining. However, this guy is daringly called "Between Orange Trees" and not "Quickly through the Orange Trees to the Candy Store," and secondly, there simply isn't enough comparably substantial material following the opening. That's a bit too little even for a summer freshie.
However, I find the 145 euros for 50ml a bit too much; I completely agree with my predecessor. Swapping the numbers would fit better: Relaxed reapply every one to two hours to keep that wonderfully fruity opening alive.
I thank Kovex for the sample.
