Penhaligon’s Orange Blossom Eau de Toilette

Sensual and heady, this is not your typical floral perfume. The orange blossom accord usually smells like a white flower with a hint of citrus. But this orange blossom hits and seduces instantly. Interpreted from the brand’s original 1976 cocktail, it is part of the Anthology series. Head Notes: Neroli, Violet leaf, Bergamot, Lemon-cedrat, Cardamom absolute, Pink berries Heart Notes: Orange absolute, Egyptian jasmine absolute, Tuberose absolute, Rose essence, Peach flower, Orchid Base Notes: Sandalwood, Virginian cedar, White musk, Vanilla It reminds me of the flowers that bloom on warm balmy nights, make me pause in mid-stride and take a deep breath. This is not a light and refreshing scent, but it’s a good choice for the day. Bring along a little vial in your purse; it might not last as long as you’d like it to in humid weather.
