Heritage Collection: Orange Blossom Yardley for women

What a disappointment this fragrance was! Let me be clear that I was not expecting anything elaborate to begin with. I wanted orange blossom and that was it. Simple, linear, that would have been fine. However, the problem I have with this fragrance is the quality of the orange blossom, the way it smells. It just did not smell as lovely, fresh and floral like orange blossom should smell. I do not know if the musk being the first note is throwing things off. But I knew it was not for me. So I packed it in a carton and mailed it back to my online retailer who was very good about accepting it back. The only one I have not tried in this heritage collection is hyacinth and after my experience with this one, I think I will pass.

I've never smelled an orange blossom so I don't know if this smells like one. But I do know this smells lovely. Although musk and orange blossom are the only notes listed I smell lavender and some pungent herb -- sage? rosemary? -- in the opening. This quickly gives way to a soft, creamy sweetness. It rides like silk on the skin. The drydown is a bit citrus, a bit soapy. This is a lightly sweet,very clean and fresh scent. It would be perfect for summer evenings. Orange blossoms are associated with weddings and this would indeed be a perfect wedding fragrance. A must have.

I like this. Light and airy, but with a velvety-cottony feeling added by the musk. Good sillage, good lasting power too. I think maybe Yardley's colognes are sometimes underrated.

Sometimes you just need a soft, uncomplicated, innocent caress. Makes me smile.

I had this one but got rid of it. It's a light floral scent, but I prefer more expressive Andalucia by Isabel Derroisne. But I had the old version of Orange blossom, may be the new one is better
