I test drove this at Epcot in Florida and thought it was wonderful! To me, this is on par with Annick Goutal's Eau d' Hadrien. Breezy, citrusy and comfortably warm -- just like a California summer!

Very promising in the opening - fresh & sweet orange juice....yet as the fragrance dries down, it starts to smell alternately like room deodorizer & men's cologne...sharp and aquatic. I'm actually...

I hate smelling like the peel of an orange when I have finished eating one, yet I like this one and it smells just like that but with a dollop of sweetness and a subtle softness that makes it...

This starts out with exquisite crisp-aromatic citrus---as others have said, like the spray of oil from a freshly peeled orange. Uplifting and marvelous. But after fifteen minutes it all goes...

I got this perfume pretty much half off at a BG Gift Card event years ago. I guess that was what made me feel less guilty about using it as a linen spray! Originally I wore it as a perfume, but it...

I received a sample of the Arancia soft relaxing cream & that is all it took to get me hooked. I love this fragrance. Normally I stay away from Citrus fragrances because they can give me a...

Wonderful. Test drove this one today, and on me it's a true bitter orange scent (everyone says it's sweet, but not so on me) drying down to a divine soft, citrus musk. There's a warmness to the...

Ahhh, Arancia, also known as pure orange bliss. One of the juiciest, freshest, refreshingest (am I just making up words now?) and all around nicest oranges I've ever come across. Not sharp or...

This is a dream come true for me in the orange fragrance department. I'm in complete agreement with the glowing reviews, and I will be adding the dry oil spray next if all goes according to plan....

I gave this 5 lippies for its being the best in its category of solifruital (made that up.) It really is quite a wonderful explosion of tender oranginess ('tender' as opposed to heavily acidic or...

Smells like the perfume version of San Pellegrino's Aranciata beverage, which works for me since I drink an obscene amount of the stuff. In my opinion, nothing much beats a sparkling orange drink...

Okay, my Aedes sample pack came in and some generous soul drew little drawings on all of the labels on my stuff. Score! This had a little wave drawn between Acqua di Parma and Arancia. And it...

While I don't like this fragrance, I'm trying to be kind since reactions will be a matter of preference. In this bottle, this smells like juicy orange, but once applied other notes emerge. It...
