Orange Bigarade Confite

The note unfolds as a luxurious, multifaceted scent, beginning with an initial vibrant, slightly sharp zest of bitter orange peel, immediately softened and enriched by a profound, sweet, and sticky-syrupy warmth. It possesses an almost chewy texture, akin to a rich fruit jelly or marmalade, where the characteristic bitterness of bigarade is not eradicated, but rather transformed and elevated by careful candying. There is a palpable sense of warmth, a touch of gentle spice, and a velvety, unctuous sweetness that is never cloying but always inviting. Its intensity is moderate to strong, creating a delicious, comforting sillage. It evolves beautifully, transitioning from a sparkling, candied top into a deeper, ambered, and slightly caramelized heart, lingering with a sophisticated sweetness and a whisper of its original citrus vitality. This note acts predominantly as a rich, gourmand heart note, capable of lending a refined sweetness and complex citrus character to a composition, often extending its embrace into the base.
