Thread: Sweet Orange Unisex? |
I'm looking for a very, very sweet orange scent. If anyone is familiar with Nivea's Touch of Happiness body wash, I'm looking for something similar to that. Just something light that I can spray on before heading down to the beach in the mornings. A light mandarin orange/cranberry would be nice to. If you know of anything, let me know!

+1 for Orange Sanguine
I think Concentree D'Orange Vert is a great orange, but it's pretty masculine to me and rather stiff.
I'd recommend bond #9's Little Italy for an orange/clemantine/grapefruit sort of mix
Also check out Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria line Pamplelune - it's a grapefruit + vanilla mix and nicely priced too
John Varvato's Artisan has a nice Clemantine/Mandarin opening
there are many other oranges out there...

Most of the time I am very proud of the Basenotes community. Time after time I have witnessed the thoughtfulness, empathy & genuine friendship that members of this community extend to others - oldtimers & newcomers alike. There are other times, however, when egos get the upper hand and civility goes out the window. My philosophy is that I won't say anything here that I would not say if you were standing in front of me. Welcome to Basenotes, each and every one of us. ~ TwoRoads
Maybe AdP Arancia di Capri, but it's not that sweet.
We want a niche forum.

+100 - Czech & Speake Neroli
Great works are performed, not by strength, but by perseverance.
Apart from Arancia di Capri, even other frags from the Blu Mediterraneo line have some undertones of sweet orange and also great unisex wearbility
Jaguar pour Homme (the green bottle) is technically a male scent, but its smoothness and discretion, as well as certain sweet citrus, especially orange, notes have lead even a few of my female acquaintances to see this as an unisex frag and to wear it accordingly, which still doesn't affect, on the other hand, this frags suitability for men
Little Italy is one of the sweeter ones, similar to a zesty candied orange.
Orange Sanguine is one of my favorite though.
My favorite sweet orange fragrance is Fendi Theorema. It is a feminine, but I wear it. It is pretty modest in terms of duration and projection.

Thanks, guys. I'm getting some samples of the Orange Sanguine and Jo Malone Orange Blossom. There's a huge difference in price there, so I decided it would be best to try before I buy. I'm not looking for anything to complicated, just something light and pretty to compliment the scents of a hot summer day on the beach.
