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!

Should it have been a mistake not to order the third set?
