Rosè
Orange blossom carries the opening of Aire de Sevilla Rosè Eau de Toilette 150ml, soft and petal like rather than sharp, and it sets the tone for everything that follows.
The middle fills out into a proper bouquet. Jasmine supplies the creamy weight that white flowers take on in warm air, daffodil cuts across it with a green, faintly bitter stem quality, and lily of the valley keeps things clean and watery where the whole thing could easily have turned sugary. None of the three is pushed forward at the expense of the others, so the effect is of flowers arranged rather than one bloom shouting. Underneath, four materials do the holding. Musk blurs the flowers into a single soft trail, amber warms them from below, patchouli puts a dark and slightly earthy edge under the sweetness so it never reads as powder, and sandalwood leaves a creamy wood sitting close to the skin. It is a comfortable base and a familiar one, and it is the reason a toilette strength gets this much wear out of a floral.
Being an eau de toilette, it carries less oil than a parfum version would, so expect a gentle presence and plan on refreshing it through the day. The 150ml bottle makes that painless, and it is a lot of liquid for the money. Daytime, warm weather and work all suit it, it reads feminine, and it is polite enough to wear in close company.
Aire de Sevilla belongs to Instituto Espanol, a Spanish perfumery and cosmetics manufacturer in business since 1903 and still run by the same family, now in its third generation. Production is at Hinojos in Huelva province, and the company describes itself as wholly Andalusian. Colognes, shower gels, creams, deodorants and oils all sit in its range, with Gotas de Oro and Anfora Oro named as its long standing stars.
