    My dwarf Orange has been blooming for nearly a month and the scent is dreamy and intoxicating, or maybe that last one was the whisky? I find myself with a TSD gift certificate. Which TSD scent most closely matches this wonderful aroma?

    I can't say, as I am not sure what orange blossoms smell like, but I have dreamsycle soap, and it is quite nice. A vanilla orange scent.

    Neroli is distilled from orange blossoms. I don't think I have it listed in the store anymore, but I'm pretty sure I have some.

    Not sure if that's the scent you're looking for though.

    I agree, the scent of citrus blossoms is just awesome! When my citrus plants bloom I can stand for lengths of time and just smell them!

    A very pleasant scent indeed. Another great natural fragrance is that of almond blossoms. I want to get an almond tree now :)

    Mmmmmmmm! Do you have any Neroli Aftershave Milk laying around anywhere? Neroli is my absolutely favorite Czech and Speake fragrance, but I have never smelled the EO Neroli. Is it similar enough or not?

    Also, any estimate of the return of the Aftershave Milk Samples? I was planning on picking up a few for Christmas. I do not mind buying the regular bottle, but there are a few scents I wanted to try out first.

    So many questions huh? ;)

    The TSD Neroli EO soap is Very Nice :drool :drool A great bitter sweet orange scent.

    JoAnna made me some Neroli EO soap about a year ago, it goes great with C&S Neroli or Penhaligon's Castile ;) her Jasmine soap is excellent too :happy088

    I've never smelled C&S Neroli. Sounds like Neale has though.

    I'm so busy I haven't had a chance to check to see if I actually do have the Neroli EO. :o

    Right now, I don't have any size of A/S milk available. Waiting on more hydrosols to show up at my door, but I haven't got a shipping notice from my supplier yet, which they will send when they ship my order. So, no ETA, either. You'll just have to click the "Notify Me" button on the product page, and wait for the email and/or my post when it is back in stock.

    Sorry.

    I just compared the C&S Neroli Edt to the TSD Neroli EO soap......the scent is quite similar.....although, I don't believe the C&S is a single note Neroli Edt....

    The scent of the soap is a bit more subdued than smelling the C&S after it's applied to the wrist.....but if I recall correctly the scent of the soap intensifies while lathering :cool:

    Great soap, I like to superlather it with Penhaligon's Castile cream :drool ;) Although, it's terrific on it's own.

    Indeed. I don't think most edts are single notes.

    Correcto-mundo....:happy088

    Here's Czech & Speake's description of their Neroli scent...

    Neroli

    Loved by both men and women, Neroli is one of Czech & Speake's most evocative fragrances. The blossom of the bitter orange and orange flowers are suffused with the zest of fruit to create a refreshing and long lasting fragrance. The floral character of Neroli is emphasised by layering this truly unique and heady mix with ylang ylang, which itself is derived from the blossoms of an exotic Asian tree.




    Sorry Chris :o It's good stuff, you should try it :)
