Opens very bright with freshly cut bitter oranges, then dries down to a sweeter more creamy orange. Florals are not all that noticable except that I imagine they may be providing the creamy sweetness behind the orange note. After about 4 hours it is pretty much a skin scent and after 6 hours it is barely noticeable. This is from within an air conditioned building at 71F and that is pretty good for a citrus note to have this much staying power. Maybe it would project better and last longer under warmer circumstances.
