Sienne d'Orange The Different Company 2012

I actually like orange scents, as I find them particularly refreshing and easy to wear on hot days. Not all of these fragrances are particularly well-made, but when you discover a really good orange scent, you don't want to miss it on hot days, no matter how much the citrus-hating cat complains.

And you know that even though I count the wonderful Concentré d’Orange Verte by Hermès among the best orange fragrances, I am always on the lookout for new scents. My registration here on Parfumo about three years ago also plays a role (what did you all do without me before? :DD). Everyone said, "Watch out! Parfumo is more addictive than chocolate!" and I always laughed because I thought that something like that, which happens to everyone here, wouldn't happen to me since I usually have good self-control. But now it has come to the point where I really test a lot of fragrances, seemingly always in search of a new, even better scent. Now would be a good time to quote Star Wars: "There's always a bigger fish!" :DD

And to make matters worse, I have to describe almost all the scents as well,... aaaah, my fingers already hurt from typing. I can't take it anymore... but you know how it is with addicts... just one more scent, just one more... but then 20 new fragrances end up on the watchlist and you’re almost glad that you will never see or smell half of them, which is kind of depressing on the other hand.... *sigh* It's a vicious cycle!!!

**The Scent:**
The scent starts with oranges. Light, watery oranges that also have a slightly spicy aroma, which could possibly come from the cardamom.
In any case, the oranges smell neither particularly juicy nor zesty, nor particularly good, which might be due to the slightly spicy note.
Only about five minutes later, the spicy note becomes a bit softer. The orange notes have already weakened, and the cardamom is also slowly losing strength.
Iris and carrot, actually two notes that one could immediately detect, are so weak here that you only perceive them a little because you saw them in the fragrance pyramid, and psychologically your brain tricks you into thinking that you actually noticed these scents :D
In the base, it continues to smell of loosely fragrant oranges (now much weaker, as if my cat had rolled them all away… :D) with a very slightly sweet note added.

**The Sillage and Longevity:**
I hardly need to write anything here, as one could derive from my title (yes, even though I often poke fun at you here, make jokes, or even insult you, I don't think you're all stupid... at least not that stupid :DD), you can already guess that the projection is rather low and the scent will only be detectable up close.
This also means that the longevity is quite short, so the scent hardly smells after a few hours (about 2-3 hours).

**The Bottle:**
The bottle is rectangular and filled with orange-colored fragrance liquid. On the front, you can see the almost glaring orange label. The most distinctive detail of the bottle, as always, is the stair-like cap with round steps. As always, it's quite nice to look at.

Okay folks, that was my last comment here! I'm quite tired now...
…
Mu ha ha ha, you don't believe me? Yeah, I don't either! Hope your heart hasn't dropped into your pants from shock (but I'm happy to help put your heart back in place, you just have to take off your pants so I can find the heart... um, that only applies to perfumes!! Aaah, me and my dirty thoughts... :D). Wait? Didn't I just make this joke recently? Aaah I don't remember anymore,... I'm getting older *sigh* ... someday I surely won't be quick enough to run away from an angry mob,... on the other hand, the angry mob will be older too, mu ha ha ha!

Anyway. Unfortunately, I didn't like this scent very much. It simply offers nothing that would be worth the money. The orange notes are not sparkling and therefore not refreshing. Moreover, they disappear so quickly that you would actually have to reapply the scent every 15 minutes... and in the end, it smells more like a thin fruit juice.

As mentioned at the beginning, there are much better orange scents, for example, with the fragrance from Hermès. Maybe I should expand my lists of fragrances here and list the (in my opinion) good citrus scents there, on the other hand, many citrus scents can be found on my summer list... hmm... see? And suddenly you spend more time with fragrances and on Parfumo again... aaaargh... at least you get to know some nice people here over time (ohoooo, you never thought I would write something nice about you, did you?? :D)!

Well then, until next time :)
