What does Orange in Chestnut smell like?

Bitter orange, bergamot and neroli give it a bright citrus face, while orange blossom absolute and Egyptian jasmine absolute pull it towards a sweet, floral side. Virginia cedar and Atlas cedar build a woody frame, and cashmeran and Amber Xtreme™ add a resinous, earthy and slightly synthetic warmth. The notes have no top, heart and base split; it reads as one whole.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Only a few people have rated it, so these ratings are a rough guide. Mendittorosa Lacura and Acqua di Parma Colonia Ambra have a close profile.
