    Discontinued and still mourned. That's the mark of a formula that worked. Orange blossom and neroli, classic, timeless, like vintage silk. Some fragrances don't survive the swing toward sugar.Breathless
    This is the fragrance people stop you about. Not because it's loud, the sillage sits close, moderate, intimate. It's because orange blossom done clean is something the nose recognizes instantly.Fleur d'Oranger
