Orange Blossom in C(lementine) Major

Right after a comment on a cologne that doesn’t smell like one (Wellington), allow me a brief comment on a very appealing non-cologne that resembles a traditional summer cologne (also in its only about two-hour longevity), although it is fuller-bodied, richer, and more complex.

Orange blossom scents often tend to be jasmine-like and musky-dull. That direction, represented by the much-loved APOM, does not appeal to me at all. Oranzo, the charming new release from Mrs. Delacourte, is not a representative of such milky-dull fluffiness in minor; one should not be misled by the jasmine indicated in the fragrance note accumulation (which is rightly not a pyramid, the scent is very linear!).

Oranzo impresses with a beautiful cuvée of perfectly composed, brightly bright and fully resonant orange-colored hesperidics: floral without a doubt, also nerolic, but above all also herbaceous and green-leafy. Perhaps not a highly original scent, but for me a reference for the direction "masculine, fresh-herb orange blossom" and a great proof that one can compose a multi-layered, complex, fine citrus scent even with purely orange-colored notes (thus without lemon, lime, bergamot, etc.).

For me, Oranzo (rating 9 with a slight tendency towards 8.5) would be a candidate for purchase during this summer season, if I hadn’t just received the cheerful, ultra-modern orange blossom scent Azemour les Orangers (rating 9 with a tendency towards 9.5), which is adorned with all sorts of poetically playful notes like hay and salt.

In any case, a clear test recommendation for all fans of herbaceous citrus scents!

Oranzo, the Cool One

Sylvaine Delacourte worked for over 15 years as a VIP consultant at Guerlain and was able to gain extensive experience, especially in creating custom personal perfumes, which she now preferred to incorporate into her own collections. She made use of her talent to highlight specific characteristics of individual fragrance notes through the selection of raw materials, to bring out another facet, or even to change the entire character of a scent.

After she had already dedicated herself to the fragrance notes of musk and vanilla with five fragrances each, the Orange Blossom Collection has now been released, focusing entirely on the orange blossom. I must admit that the marketing concept of launching several fragrances with overlapping notes brings a wry smile to my face. At first, I thought that Sylvaine, after 200 attempts to develop a perfume (as she claims), ultimately couldn't decide which one was the best. So she took the 5 best and released them all together. Let the customer decide. But I think that wouldn’t do justice to her ambition.

Since her sample sets are very affordable compared to many other brands, you can’t go wrong approaching her method and sniffing out the subtle differences.

From the Orange Blossom Collection, I liked Oranzo the best. Perhaps it’s because the orange blossom here shows its unsweetened and non-floral side, and for me, it is also the most masculine scent in the line. Although I am well aware that many women might also take a liking to this fragrance.

Oranzo starts off fresh-spicy, with the citrus notes - especially bitter orange - not taking center stage too much and soon being accompanied by light jasmine and delicate orange blossom. Stripped of any sweetness, the orange blossom is unable to set fruity or softer accents. Rather, woody and green notes take over, which can certainly be traced back to the mastic. The mastic resin, derived from the trunks of the wild pistachio, exudes an almost ethereal-green, slightly bitter aroma that reminds me of freshly peeled tree trunks. At the same time, it creates a refreshing and invigorating feeling that catapults Oranzo directly onto the summer fragrance shortlist.

As it progresses, "clean" musk joins in, accompanied by a dry powderiness, but this too wants nothing to do with sweetness and leaves Oranzo in its - yes, one could accuse it of being - straightforward, transformation-resistant slightly bitter-green woodiness. But there are people who like that sort of thing. I, for example.

Oranzo is certainly not the flagship of the orange blossom theme in the collection, as it is actually the least perceptible compared to the other 4 fragrances. Nevertheless, Oranzo is an uncomplicated, refreshing clean scent that is by no means watered down.

I have come to really like the concept of thematically exploring individual fragrance materials. The other 4 from the line smell completely different. And so one embarks on a quest to discover the orange blossom and finds that there is much more behind it.

Freshly Mowed Oranges

After Ozkan, the supposedly leathery-sweet orange blossom scent from S. Delacourte, didn't fully convince me, Oranzo is already a much more interesting chapter from this series. The opening promises good things:
Very fresh-green, very bitter-orange, very invigorating! A very high-quality summer cocktail.
The scent remains green, energizingly bitter-orange, with juicy-fruity clementine bursts alternating with crushed leaves of citrus plants.
The green bitterness, which normally wouldn't have been my thing if I had only read about it without experiencing it myself, sleepwalks on the narrow line between freshness and gloom. Stunningly beautiful!
I must mention a small downside: the significant sillage led to my husband making the remark when getting into the car: "Do you have a new deodorant? That's way too strong." (…says someone who happily overdosed on One Million until a few years ago - but let's leave that topic aside.)
Yes, Oranzo turns heads. But I find it incredibly good.

searching for the bitter orange tree

We find ourselves on an Italian island, in the middle of Lago Maggiore, in a somewhat wild garden of a hidden palazzo named “Oranzo”.
“Oranzo” is derived from the Latin word “Aurantum”, which means orange tree.

And it is precisely this scent trail that we now follow through the spicy green. Tarragon, rosemary, and many “green” aromas from shrubs and undergrowth, which awaken the senses simply by their fragrant presence but do not reveal their names, accompany us.
“Hora di pranzo” - lunchtime: Everyone is having lunch, while we wander around here.
Typical tourists!
It is quiet, only the lazy singing of birds and the splashing of a small fountain that we encounter along the way accompany us through the shady coolness: Cool water falls here into a stone basin. How delicious it tastes and how refreshing it is.
Where will we find him, our blooming bitter orange tree?
To our side stands a small grove of clementine trees, which, full of fruits of different ripeness and colors, smell enticingly.
They too are sleeping in the midday heat, but it is precisely through them that the warm air surrounding us is invigoratingly perfumed: Fresh, sweet - simply citrusy!
Some fruits call out: Pick me! Done!
Do we really have to go into the labyrinth now?
Is the legendary bitter orange tree, about which so much is talked, standing in its center?
It is a bit eerie between the tall green hedges, which have probably not been tended to for a long time; leaves and small, also needle-like branches (Are those dark ones yews?) narrow some already narrow paths; they lie as cushions under our feet and exude the aromas of deep dark green.
Oh, I would love to turn back!
But there he is suddenly: The old bitter orange tree, surrounded by the special scent of bitter oranges, with petitgrain, over which the wonderfully enchanting neroli floats, the scent of its porcelain white flowers with the thick yellow stamens.
This scent owes its name to Duchess Flavia of Orsini, the Princess of Nerola.
Thanks to her enthusiasm, all of Italy was in a neroli fragrance frenzy from the end of the 17th century, until Johann Maria Farina, the perfumer who emigrated to Cologne, made her (and her Hesperides relatives) world-famous with his “Cologne Water”.
In “Oranzo”, the bittersweet orange blossom scent, “Princess Neroli” now rests on a bed of dense, warm musk clouds and thousands of white jasmine flowers:
What a sensually soft resting place in the shade of the so vibrant, aromatic bitter orange tree in the middle of the labyrinth of a wild, mysterious garden on one of the Borromean Islands in the blue lake.
Can a fragrance tell a more beautiful story?

Sylvaine Delacourte manages this feat time and again; so too with the scents of her “Collection Fleur d’Oranger”, which I am testing and whose charming personality I enjoy.
I particularly like “Oranzo”, as here the orange blossom is not only pure tenderness and sweetness, but gains a charismatic depth through its origin as part of the bitter orange that immediately enchants me.

This Sunday morning in January is still gray and foggy, and therefore “Oranzo” will accompany me for the next few hours.
I think that is a good choice!
Good morning!
