FLEUR D'ORANGER (ORANGENBLÜTE)

I was nervous about buying a fragrance online blind, but this one is exactly the delicate, sunny orange blossom I was hoping for. It wears very close to the skin and lasts a solid few hours, which feels right for this kind of elegant, old-world scent.

The orange blossom note is so true to the flower itself, not synthetic at all. I sprayed it on my scarf this morning and caught that soft, sunny scent all day, which is exactly what I hoped for from a fragrance with this heritage.

I was nervous about ordering perfume blind, but this one took me straight back to a spring morning in the South of France. It wears close to the skin and lasts a good six hours before fading into a soft, powdery warmth.
