Description
“The Story: Sheltered by its shade, gazing at an azure sky scattered with silent clouds, the enchanting white petals and stamens of the azahar flowers look like the sun. Reminding you of sweet honey and nectar, the air is infused with intoxicating blossoms. Your own little private piece of heaven in the protective shadow you found Under the Orange Tree.
The Description: Warm, sweet and powdery. Showcasing the aromatic wonders of the bitter orange tree, the freshness and richness of the orange blossom are combined with a jasmine that gently cascades onto a base of powdery vanilla and amber notes.” – a note from the brand.
Under The Orange Tree was launched in 2014. The nose behind this fragrance is Marina Barcenilla.
Dellete – :
I hated this when I first applied it. I received it as part of a very generous ROAK, and I was a bit overwhelmed by all of the new fragrances and samples I received, so I just wrinkled my nose and moved on the next. However, a few months later, I picked it up again and decided to give it more of a chance. I’ve been learning that some of the fragrances I dislike at first actually become my favorites. So, I put it on, kicked back while listening to some old Pavement records (Slanted and Enchanted was one if you’re curious), and let it do it’s thing. A few minutes passed, and suddenly I was back at my beloved gran’s house, playing under the old orange tree with my sister and Penny Black Bottom (our English Springer Spaniel), laughing and absolutely carefree. It was a warm day, and some of the oranges had dropped off the tree. I’d pick them up sometimes and they smelled of dust, wood, sunshine, and some other indefinable thing that both compelled and repelled me. That is what this perfume smells of to me. Youth, freedom, nostalgia, and warmth with something dark lying beneath. I recommend you give this one a sniff. And don’t discount it out of hand. It’s worth your time.
