Overblowing, yet fragile – definitely beguiling

If you´re up for heavy, almost creamy orange blossoms without edges and a soft, fleeting acidity, then Fleurs d´oranger it is. But don't be fooled. It´s not the fresh scent of young blossoms carried by a warm breeze, but the one of fallen blossoms, mold, crushed, but full and round. Loud in its own way. Definitely interesting, a ripe and grown up perfume, engulfing.

For me a touch too heavy, too unexciting, a bit flat while it is not flat, but rather deep. There's an undertone of something too persistent - stinging in my nose. It lacks freshness and surprise. It doesn't develop further once it settled on the skin. But as always, it depends on your own preferences.
Flowery, yes. Natural, yes. Not alluring, not arousing. Neither voluptuous nor erotic.
