A time-tested combination beloved by perfumers for generations.
Floral
Chinese geranium smells like a honeyed, slightly peppery floral with green undertones—imagine rose petals dusted with black pepper, then softened with a whisper of honey and fresh-cut grass. It's warmer and spicier than typical rose, with a velvety roundness that feels almost creamy on the nose. There's an aldehydic shimmer too, like the scent has been polished to a subtle gleam. It's sophisticated rather than sweet, with a gentle herbaceous bite that prevents it from feeling cloying.
Citrus
Imagine biting into a sun-warmed mandarine on a Mediterranean hillside—that's your entry point. Italian Mandarine Orpur® delivers a bright, almost honeyed sweetness that's softer and rounder than a sharp lemon, with a delicate floral whisper underneath. There's a creamy, slightly powdery quality that makes it feel less sharp and more caressing on the skin. It smells like candied citrus peel and warm silk—the essence of Italian sunshine bottled, without any harsh citric bite.
