generic bitter citrus
Orange scents that I personally really like is really hard to come by, mainly because it only utilize those ingredients to embody limited capabilities of that fruit and sum of it's parts instead of evoking a specific and illuminating mood - with L'Artisan Parfumeur's Seville a l'Aube as few that manages to capture what i want in needs.
Which is why out of Strangers Parfumerie decants that i got, this one (also being a limited edition in Thailand) interest me a great deal with Prin Lormos's penchant of evocation and overt narrative (being a film school grad and all) at describing this perfume, "illustrate a beautiful picture of a morning filled with the sights and scents of a bitter orange tree and its surroundings."
But after testing it on myself it turns out to be a generic bitter orange with some foreshadowing of sweet musky base without any of supposed charmness and more akin to those variative lemon detergents. I expecting more dewy and green accords on this one but it's just mainly playing it straight for start to finish. Not really something to be fawning over unfortunately over his more influenced and experimental stuff.
