The note of Tarocco Orange unfurls with an immediate, effervescent burst, a dazzling prelude of vibrant zest that is simultaneously sweet, tart, and possesses an intriguing undercurrent of berry-like ripeness. It is less purely saccharine than a conventional sweet orange, carrying a delicate bitterness at its edge, reminiscent of its ruby-red flesh. The initial impact is intensely juicy, almost glistening, with a lively, high-pitched acidity that awakens the senses. As it begins its swift evaporation, it reveals a subtle, almost mineralic transparency, a fleeting whisper of verdant leafiness before it fully cedes the stage. Its texture is crisp and refreshing, rather than oily or heavy. It projects brilliantly for a brief period, then rapidly diminishes, firmly establishing itself as a quintessential top note, designed to create an immediate, invigorating impression rather than a lingering presence.
