Intense white floral and orange blossom explosion. The purpose of this must be to highlight the petitgrain, which is does, but it is so floral, so lacking in some darker ingredient to offset this, that it becomes both wearing and a little nauseating. There's a very mild dusting of cinnamon in there, but it's barely detectable, so it doesn’t do what I imagine it is supposed to do, which is offset that shrill white note.
It becomes more tolerable in the drydown, but I still can't say I like it much.
Antoine Lie's created some of my very favourite fragrances, but this one's a real miss for me.
Warm golden hued wind with orange blossom in the air. It's that simple and that good. High on the naturals. It leans slightly feminine bc of the sweet orange blossom, however it can easily be worn by anyone.
