Oranzo
by Sylvaine Delacourte
Oranzo is a crisp, green, and herbal citrus fragrance centered around neroli and petitgrain, with a pronounced bitter-green character that lingers through the drydown. It evokes a gardenia-like richness in the middle, balanced with aromatic notes of rosemary, tarragon, and green citrus. The scent feels naturally botanical—like being in a Mediterranean orange grove during spring or summer—where the air is cool and vibrant with green leaves and citrus blossoms. The drydown is soft, musky, and quietly earthy, with a trail that stays close to the skin. It’s a remarkably unisex scent, wearable in warm weather, and resonates strongly in spring and summer. The longevity is moderate, with clear projection for the first few hours, followed by a subtle heady musk that lingers without overwhelming.

- +Strong sillage for its genre, with an effortless, moderate projection that feels present without being aggressive
Cons
- −Has a green bitterness that can feel overwhelming or too linear for some
- −The drydown tapers into a musky, earthy trail that some find reminiscent of soap or sunscreen
- −Lacks strong distinctiveness or creative risks, making it feel familiar despite its delicate craftsmanship
