Orange Amère | Romduft

The bitter orange note here is beautifully layered—it starts sharp and zesty, then softens into something almost creamy on the air. I sprayed it in my hallway this morning and could still catch faint whiffs of that tangy fruitiness seven hours later.

The sharp citrus really cuts through the air — one spritz in the living room and the whole place smells like a sun-warmed orchard, not a candle. It's got that bitter edge that keeps it from feeling like a cheap air freshener. I've already ordered a second bottle.

I've been spraying this in my hallway every morning and the bitter orange note is so fresh it actually makes me want to linger there before heading out. The scent stays noticeable for a good few hours without being cloying, which is exactly what I wanted for a small apartment.
