Although the floral smells may be beautiful, the overlaying sweetness manages to swamp everything else.
Happily though after yesterday's success my daughter made me buy Dior's Escale a Portofino.
You can see that's she can be quite forceful.

Fleurs d’Oranger – Serge Lutens
At the beginning of When Harry Met Sally, Meg Ryan’s character is completely annoying, uptight and just plain wrong. Fleurs d'Oranger is the perfume she should have been wearing. It’s uptight, saccharine and wrong in so many ways.

I can't believe, having such a hard time as I do with tuberose, how much I *did* find myself liking "Fleurs D'Oranger." I'm not a fan of pure florals by any means, but something about the balance between the tuberose and the orange blossom-- it surprised me!!
Now, this Dior that your BEAUTIFUL daughter is holding (she looks like a statue!!!!) I do not know. Yummy?
Hmm, interesting that you don't like tuberose and you do like this.
Thanks for the compliment on my daughter. The Dior is Escale a Portofino. It's almost a chypre, which I think you've mentioned that you're not keen on. But it starts as a citrus and dries down to something like Jardin Sur le Nil. Definitely worth a sniff if you haven't tried it.
BTW - you need to send me your address so I can send you the swaps.
Oik! Right-- will do.
