Castile by Penhaligon's — Notes, Reviews & Ratings (1998)
Wow for me this is a totally new take on orange blossom in that it doesn't start out with that waxy, over the top white floral, neroli thing to begin with. It's a dirty kind of citrus to begin with which has a vague Orange blossom underneath...and I honestly do detect rose and musk, it's a good opening which unfortunately doesn't last long. About half an hour in... all that disappears! It becomes the familiar soapy white floral thing...incredibly soapy in fact! I don't particularly like this fragrance I just find it interesting how the opening notes mask the floral heart in the beginning. Not bad...a unisex fragrance with moderate longevity.
