Levant by Ormonde Jayne
Floral Woody Musk
Levant is a happy scent. When I close my eyes I see a breakfast in Sorrento. You wake up, have a shower, get dressed and head out for breakfast in Italy with your significant other or a friend. You see the Mediterranean style of healthy breakfast, and you are full of energy and excitement for the upcoming day. Levant is not your rainy London but your sunny Italian coast full of adventure, history and dreams.
The scent consists of juicy orange and bergamot. I love orange in fragrances, more than lemon. It has this bright uplighting quality that only orange can make. On top of that, there is plenty of orange blossom which can sometimes cause headaches but not this time. Orange blossom is toned down by other florals, especially peony. Who would not love a peony flower?! It is the epitome of romanticism.
It is all balanced with soft musk, cedar and amber in the background. It is gorgeous – an optimistic orange-peony scent which does not smell immature.
On one hand, you reckon, hmm I smelled this before. It reminds you of other orange scents like Orange Sanguine by Atelier Cologne but it is not touched by peony. Or, Wonderland Peony by Floral Street yet the illuminance of orange is missing big time. Hence you realise there is nothing like Levant out there. I wear Levant if I want to add a bit of flair to my life which is all the time. No, I am kidding. It is not that bad. So, basically, I put on Levant to pick me up on a shady day.
