Oranzo Sylvaine Delacourte 2019

I became aware of and curious about Sylvaine Delacourte at the latest since Sommelierduparfum. I quickly ordered the Discovery Set and began my journey of discovery with Oranzo.
Let's get something out of the way, what a progression!
The fragrance opens with lots of citrusy fruits and soft jasmine. I don't really like jasmine in fragrances and I'm not really a fan of floral fragrances in general, but the mixture of juicy, tangy citrus fruits, not too sweet and delicious orange blossom and fresh jasmine here somehow totally impressed me. The scent catapults me mentally back to my last vacation.
I am in Ischia. After a long and lazy day at the beach, I've got ready to go out and am ready for a nice dinner in the old town. The sun is slowly setting, you can hear the chirping of cicadas everywhere and the locals are getting quieter in the evening. The beach promenade towards the old town is once again bustling with life and laughter. I'm wearing a long dress, my hair tied back, my skin warm and caressed by the sun.... I'm wearing that delicious neroli, orange blossom and jasmine scent.
Oh how beautiful!
But back to Oranzo: it makes a surprising turnaround as it progresses. The jasmine note slowly leaves the stage until it has completely disappeared behind the scenes, the orange blossom now also withdraws and the performance belongs to the leafy green, the petitgrain, the mood becomes green and herbaceous. Reminds me a little of Diptyque's Eau de Lierre. I am glad that the jasmine is not overpowering and gives way to citrus and freshness. An initially citrusy-floral fragrance with a green, herbaceous base.
Very interesting ! It put me in a good mood, inspired me and put me in a good mood. I will definitely make a note of it!
