Love this one. I adore Orange blossom and there are quite a few scents out there, but many opt for a light, fresh, summer cologne approach but i prefer my Orange blossom to have oomph and sexiness and very few scents go down that path. This one does,there is sensuality, depth and presence, a strong body rather than the light ephemerality that appears to be de rigueur with so many Orange Blossom. It has some sweetness which I am comfortable with but it is not cloying and as with most Penhaligon’s creations, it has complexity and multiple layers. As I said….I love it.

Nice neroli comfort scent, long lasting for an EDT: over 4 hours and it hasn’t turned into a skin scent. I agree with other reviewers that there is a lot going on in this bottle, I can’t pull out all the individual notes. That doesn’t compromise the scent, or my opinion, I still like it.
Maybe not groundbreaking but I can imagine I would find a lot of opportunites to wear OB. Contemplating a purchase.

This scent reminds me of vintage 80s Orange Flower Water by Crabtree & Evelyn. It came in a lovely blue glass bottle and I was so sad to see it discontinued. I’m getting the same kind of vibe from Penhaligon’s Orange Blossom, except naturally the Penhaligon’s is quite intense…more than a few squirts and you run the risk of overdose.

Orange Blossom is a comforting scent for me that creates an aura of calm. It has a creamy neroli and soft white floral opening. The drydown turns a bit more like sandalwood. I love Orange Blossom for before bed or when I want a tranquil feeling around me.

Orange blossom is an orange grove in the spring time. Cool breezes caress the orange trees and bring out the aroma. This is a delicious orange scented perfume. If you like orange blossom, this will scratch your itch. It smells exactly like orange blossom. But it has other things going on. At the first spritz it’s a neroli and citrus. Fresh, sharp, and enjoyable although quite strong. The other floral notes that join the orange blossom include rose jasmine tuberose and orchid. They can’t always be detected but the rose is a citrus-rose not a green rose or powdery rose. The jasmine is also present. The citrus/orange blossom lingers the whole time and finally the fragrance dries down to woods and vanilla. Mature, elegant, fresh and floral. I wear this in the summer time and to wedding gigs where I perform as a paid wedding singer. Orange blossom is a traditional bridal flower, but one that has become less popular compared to white flowers of gardenia and lily of the valley. I do love my orange blossoms.

I am wearing this scent combined with Douro also from Penhaligon’s. I really like the pureness of the Neroli that comes through in this creation. I think this is the kind of scent that an individual would wear for their own pleasure rather than for the enjoyment of others.
What is most enjoyable about this scent is the subtlety. Neroli is the dominant note in my mind. I am currently wearing it on top of a multiple of scents; I washed with Molton Brown’s Bushukan and applied Blenheim Bouquet lotion on top. A generous spray of Penhaligon’s Douro followed by Orange Blossom to finish. The end result is a nice smell of citrus on the skin. I feel the Orange Blossom can mix well with many Penhaligon’s scents. I think it would combine amazingly with Juniper Sling.

Bought this at a bargain price and for a long while, it remained in its attractive black packaging. When I finally got around to uncorking the bottle and taking an initial splash, I found it just a pleasant orange, but nothing more.
Revisited again recently and really took time to explore the scent, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that there is so much more to it than the sparkly bright orange notes I had picked up and dismissed.
On first application I immediately smell orange and (strangely) smoke – quickly followed by an overwhelming bergamot, which with earlier notes gives an impression of sun-bleached grass. This layer lingers like the diva’s end note – but for the duration of the song.
Although the perfume doesn’t contain it, I detected what smelled like incense starting to peek through somewhere in dry down – it must have been the sandalwood. The orange disappears, and is replaced with a musky base note and spicy vanilla essence which clings to the skin and reminds me of the faint scent of old paper and hot dusty library. I admit that this is perhaps not everyone’s idea of lovely, but then I’ve always enjoyed the scent of things that others find odd – like incense, tarmac and creosote.
Penhaligon’s Orange Blossom is a warm and comforting scent, a long-lasting base note clinger with very little sillage (at least on me anyway). I can’t stop breathing it in.

All I can smell is bitter violet leaves from this perfume. Later on it turns very faint vanilla.
I was expecting floral, refreshing blooming perfume.
Unfortunately, this perfume doesn’t meet up my expectation.
Very disappointing.

This is a beautiful fresh orange Neroli perfume enriched and made creamy and slightly Indolic with Tuberose and Jasmine.This is followed by a warm woody Drydown.There is enough warmth for this floral to be worn in cooler weather and longevity is pretty good.The warmth can be attenuated by combining with Jo Malone Nutmeg and Ginger which shares a comparable Cedar base.
Orange Blossom is a highly underrated stunning rich Orange Blossom fragrance that is vastly superior to the Sweet popular orange Blossom scents that currently seem to rule the roost.

Very redolent of my childhood – slightly cloying with a strong musk undertone. I don’t dislike it, but it’s too sweet and not citrusy enough for me. It’s not a young perfum at all I don’t think.

Lovely and light. Reminds me of my first summer in London. I wish they were still making it.

I’ve sampled a lot from this house and while I think they do a lovely job with their frags, florals and green scents rarely work with my skin and thus nothing from this house really suits me. If you’re a floral/green scent person I say they are worthy of a try. With that said, of those I’ve tried, I find Orange Blossom the most pleasing on my skin and to my taste. With the notes I was expecting a “citrus” but It is a lovely soft and creamy neroli, clean and soapy as others have stated, sweetish and very comforting on my skin. Nice.

A sweetish orange-blossom/vanilla combo with a subtle floral accord. Nice if you like the genre but far from being a standout.
Rating: 6/10

Maybe someone should tell the Penhaligon’s nose than less is more?
Orange Blossom is obviously a fragrance with a lot of orange blossom, but there is also a jungle of notes that end up being unrecognisable. A big floral bouquet with everything mixed in it- some spices, some woods, some flowers. But it is a bit messy. There are no phases here, just a bunch of all of those notes mixed together. A floriental scent with some greenery and musk.
It definitely has got the Pehnaligon’s pleasant creaminess about it which I absolutely love. But… well, it is not enough to make me like it. There is at least a dozen fantastic orange blossom fragrances I can think of at the moment that do the job a lot better.

This was so disappointing, I was expecting a lovely, feminine neroli scent, but in return I got a bitter and green mess which reminded me of some old school male cologne. Really, the fragrance is not what one could expect from such name. Anyhow, I don’t like it. It’s too bitter, too messy, too masculine, too rough, too soapy. Sad.

i ordered a decant of this, allthough the notes sounds like it could be sweet, well its NOT 🙁 tried it on paper and on my skin, IMO it smells like a mulheuns 4711 cologne with some floral notes :'(
such a shame! i had high hopes for this, very dissapionting

Neroli and bergamote are noticeable among the top notes, and the scent is bitter and fresh.
Some minutes later it softens and gets sweeter and soapier, and on my skin I get lots of orange blossom and maybe some rose.
The drydown is quite sweet and musky.
It has very good lasting power and medium sillage.
