Luckily it doesn't show up on me, but it is a heavy fragrance. I do think that a touch of vanilla or dry woods can help lighten it a bit. Bourbon French makes a wonderful orange blossom fragrance as well as a great tea olive one, and they both remind me of wonderful sultry Southern evenings.

I probably have 10 orange flower fragrances, and I think it's my least favorite. I'll give it a whirl again tomorrow and see if my taste has become more sophisticated!Charlestongirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08269794937743797142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-2762791922600006772010-04-20T14:20:19.701-04:002010-04-20T14:20:19.701-04:00I agree that this fragrance is beautiful and easy ...I agree that this fragrance is beautiful and easy to wear. It isn't overpowering like a lot of fragrances based on tropical flowers. There is enough vanilla to ground it without smelling like a cupcake. I like to have a touch of vanilla to soften florals, and one of my favorites combinations is Serge Lutens Un Bois Vanille with his Fleurs d'Oranger. I also have a bottle of CSP Vanille KathyThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02581414896556155588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-27791232088122736012010-04-20T05:56:08.253-04:002010-04-20T05:56:08.253-04:00Hi Anna,
