Bohemian Orange Blossom by Atelier Cologne
Floral
We already know that Atelier Cologne does very well with citrus scents. I have tried 12 AT colognes; and so far, Orange Sanguine has been my favourite. It has a citrusy opening, yet there is much more to it. The newest release Bohemian Orange Blossom is meant to be a simple scent based on the three notes listed: orange, neroli, and orange blossom.
Neroli can get harsh and bitter, particularly in men’s colognes; and unfortunately, this is the case. Bohemian Orange Blossom is not a male cologne, it is a unisex gun for sure but the harshness and bitterness are there. The orange blossom which is usually sweet and opulent does not save it. Some people enjoy that bitter aspect of fragrances. You must be one of them to crave Bohemian Orange Blossom.
It is not a bad cologne, I can easily see myself reaching for this; however, there is nothing left for your imagination. Everything is clearly laid on the table. It can be a good or a bad thing depending on if you are a minimalist or a maximalist. The price tag for AC is high but it pays off. The staying power is fantastic, I would say 8+ hours and you get to sniff yourself every now and then. At the end of that day, it comes down to whether you like realistic oranges and neroli or not. Full stop!
