Thorn & Bloom Orange Blossom EDP Natural Perfume Review

October 13, 2015

Thorn & Bloom Orange Blossom

When most perfume enthusiasts think of orange blossoms, they think of big, feminine white florals or breezy, unisex eau de colognes come to mind. Usually orange blossoms are highlighted in such a way. These are the most popular “uses” of orange blossoms. There are a few exceptions, but I think for the most part, people think of syrupy white florals like Serge Lutens Fleurs d’Oranger or classic eau de colognes like 4711. Thorn & Bloom Orange Blossom is a different side of orange blossom… Continue reading | 2 Comments

LUSH Orange Blossom EDP Perfume Review

August 24, 2013

LUSH Orange Blossom

Some orange blossom perfumes are light and airy. Some orange blossom perfumes mingle with other white floral divas like tuberose and jasmine. And then sometimes you’ll find an orange blossom perfume that ins’t “light” but “dark”. LUSH Orange Blossom is one of these orange blossoms that could possibly have “noir” following its name.

Orange Blossom hits you upside the head with a honeyed, sharp orange blossom with rosewood (honestly, I  could live without the huge helping of rosewood in the opening). Orange Blossom is huge. It… Continue reading | 2 Comments

NEST Orange Blossom Candle Review

July 21, 2011

Nest Orange Blossom CandleComplaining about the weather in the Seattle area doesn’t help anything and I know that. You’ve heard me before and I’m going to say it again, I’m sick of it. This has been such a cool, foggy, and gloomy summer. Most of the U.S. is experiencing an inhumane heatwave, I don’t want this (and I really feel for you guys), but I do want some sunshine. NEST candles give me some sunshine. Yeah, it doesn’t give me my daily recommendation of Vitamin D, but it does provide… Continue reading | 6 Comments

C.O. Bigelow Lemon & Orange Blossom Body Splash

June 11, 2011

C.O. Bigelow Lemon & Orange Blossom Body Spray Review

In preperation for summer, I purchased C.O. Bigelow Lemon & Orange Blossom Body Splash on a whim. It was cheap, marked down, and I couldn’t resist. Sniffing it in the bottle, I thought it smelled good. Neroli isn’t an easy ingredient to mess up, right?

Here’s the deal. C.O. Bigelow didn’t mess up neroli. They didn’t mess up Lemon & Orange Blossom. It smells good. It’s a refreshing melody of tart citrus and citrus blossoms. I really do like it… Continue reading | 7 Comments
