Real talk
It's not trying to be anything other than exactly what it is, a citrus that knows when to step back. Some will find it simple. Others will find it the rare daytime scent that doesn't demand attention.Ruban d'Orange
Most citrus fragrances sweeten as they dry. This one refuses. Petitgrain Paraguay hijacks the heart and keeps things green, bitter, and interesting long after the orange fades.Friends Men
