Orlando by
Jardins d’Écrivains bears more than a passing resemblance to another piece of faux
Elizabethanism: No.88 by Czech & Speake (1980).
Where the latter
commences with a whoosh of invigorating geranium and citrus, Orlando
cuts straight to the common heart of musty, balsamic rose that’s a bit sweet, a
bit earthy-spicy, and oddly redolent of head shops.
A matte pallor
though soon overtakes Orlando revealing a base of paste-y musks tinged with some lingering oakmoss (-replacer).
