The bitter orange tree ( Citrus aurantium) is widely grown in the western parts of India, eastern Africa and the Himalayas. Spaniards brought sour orange into St. Augustine, Florida, in the mid-1500s. By 1763, sour oranges were being exported from St. Augustine to England, setting the grounds for what Florida is today—one of the world’s largest producers of oranges. This state has even used the orange blossom as the official state symbol since May 5, 1909. During the orange blossom time, in spring, millions of delicate waxy white flowers scent the air throughout central and south Florida. Being one of the most fragrant flowers, orange blossoms are an indispensible material in the perfume industry.

An amazing orange blossom fragrance is Fleurs D'Oranger by Serge Lutens. Sweet, delicate, soft and feminine, this fragrance offers an intoxicating bouquet of white flowers coupled with a single fresh greeny rose. Jo Malone's Orange Blossomcologne, with its heart of orange blossom and water lily, is another great example of this note, while Yardley’s Orange Blossom, designed to highlight modern notes of fragrances inspired by English flowers, offers a wonderful and sophisticated combination of orange blossom and sensual musk. Fleur du Mâle by Jean Paul Gaultier, named after Baudelaire’s collection of poems, uses orange blossom in a decadent and flowery, slightly feminine composition, designed especially for men. Leyden (PdM Layton clone)- Box, name, and bottle are super similar to PdM so this is a no brainer on what its cloning. The bottles for the PdM clones look nice and match their OG counterparts. Leyden smells like a watered down Layton- has the nice, sweet, spicy, unique vanilla scent to it, but longevity is 3 hours or so. The scent is very good, just weak.

Orange Blossom is a fragrant distillation of fresh bitter-orange flower. This orange, also known as sour orange, is usually too sour to be enjoyed out of hand, but this very same bitterness makes this type of orange much more aromatic than the rest of the orange varieties. Almost all parts of bitter orange are used to produce beautiful and aromatic materials for the fragrance industry: the essential oil is derived from the peel of the fruit, orange leaves are used in production of Petitgrain oil, while the delicate white flowers serve in the production of Neroli and Orange Blossom absolute.

Porto Neroli (Neroli Portofino clone)- Nice looking bottle, same color and style as the TF. This smells like Neroli Porotofino. It has that "classy" feel to it that similar frags like BR Neroli Woods or Ferrari Bright Neroli don't have. This is a light, sweet, citrusy floral that is unisex and lasts about as long as neroli frag would, 2-3 hours. This is basically a carbon copy of the Tom Ford, but I don't think a neroli DNA can be that hard. But, if you love NP, this is worth it for sure. It manages to capture the elegant citrusy floral vibe of NP. The aroma of freshly cut flowers and tropical fruits embodies unisex’s warm and sensual aroma for temperamental and purposeful people who do not know what fatigue is.

The scent is purely unisex and can be used casually in warmer weather or with semi-formal clothes of a lighter color. The clean soapy edges allow it to be dressed up a bit, but the playful radiance from the citruses and jasmine keep it from being too rigid. Woody Oud (Oud Wood clone)- This is the best Tom Ford Oud Wood clone that I have come across. These bottles look just like Tom Ford bottles. They have the Alhambra logo at the top of the cap which looks cool, and the bottles are good quality. They even come in boxes that look similar in build to Tom Fords, opening from the top and all. This smells just like Oud Wood, 90% close, has the antiseptic, clean, crisp feel. Lasts longer that Oud Wood, I get close to 6 hours from this one. Smells really really good, and it has that unique quality that Oud Wood has that all other clones never seem to be able to capture. I highly recommend grabbing this before prices shoot up because this will get hyped eventually if you ask me. Porto Neroli Perfume / Eau De Parfum by Maison Alhambra perfume has similar fragrance notes to Neroli Portofino. It would be a great alternative to anyone who likes this type of fragrance, but at a fraction of the price. Orange flowers have been used in wedding traditions since the times of ancient China. In Chinese tradition, orange flowers were omens of purity, innocence and moral virtue, but also a symbol of fruitfulness and fertility. Brides of all nations have always worn some kind of a floral embellishment on their wedding day, and the tradition of using orange flowers has spread from the East to Europe, during the time of the Crusades. Maidens have used fresh orange blossoms to decorate their hair on their wedding day, and this custom was so widespread that that the expression "t o gather orange blossoms" took a completely different connotation by starting to mean "to seek a wife." Orange blossom absolute is used in many different types of fragrances and especially in colognes, chypres, ambers, floral bouquets, and heavy orientals. It beautifully complements all other citrusy notes and acts as a natural fixative, allowing the original composition to last longer while keeping its true fragrance.
