Oranges and Lemons Say The Bells of St. Clements

A classic German-style eau-de-cologne, but served here with oils at full-strength, creating a scent that has real depth and lasting power. Every moment of this development smells completely natural... no synths perceived here at all. The title speaks to oranges and lemons, but to me the starring citrus here is a rich neroli and crisp petitgrain, undergirded with whispers of ylang and vetiver. Easily unisex and twice as decadent as, say, 4711 or JM FARINA. Exquisite luxury!

Take a bowl. Put some Fruity Pebbles in the bowl. Pour on the milk and left the smell waft up to your nose, and...Wah Lah...you've got Oranges and Lemons Say the Bells of Saint Clemens! Smells great in my opinion. Sweeter than the average neroli fragrance, but it does smell awesome to me. The one draw back is the longevity. Not very good, but I do enjoy the fragrance!

A family friend's pool that I would visit during the summer. Everything is there, the baking pebble walkway, a smell of chlorine, and the California sun making the air sweet with it's occasional breeze. It's anecdotal at best but I assumed this was a memory unto myself. Apparently HEELEY knows me all too well.

Neroli is more like it! A gorgeous neroli perfume that really blossoms into familiar, delicately sweet bliss when the petals unfold on the skin. I can't really sense any other notes, but I don't think it's purely neroli (just mostly). There is a faint, almost juicy tone similar to grapes or even myrrh that rounds out the overall fragrance - I am guessing that this is contributed by the juicy mandarin and the tropical ylang ylang. Overall, the aroma makes me incredibly happy and smells breathtaking. However, the price point for something so deceptively simple makes me a little unsure, because it really is primarily neroli on my skin and I have several inexpensive scents that smell very similar. It is truly lovely, but lacks originality considering how expensive it is.

The orange is very prominent. I wanted to love this scent, but it was a little too "sour" in its citrus scent, and it didn't last long at all. Not quite what I was looking for.

This scent immediately takes me to a vacation, on the beach with salty air. It is a bit of a deeper, summer day scent, with a woody orange scent. I bought the sample, out of curiosity, and I would invest in a bottle if it wasn't as pricey.

Bright and pleasant scent, but insanely overpriced. I admit that I got the sample because of the name (and hope someone asks me when I'm wearing it.) I'd buy a small EdT if it was available.

I don't love it, but I like it. Not enough to spend $150 on it though. If they had a smaller size, I might get that, but alas, it's not to be. I do love the name, however.

You better really love orange...because these "bells" are very orange and loud!

this is an energetic, happy, cheerful citrus/orange blossom fragrance. reminds me a great deal of Serge Lutens Fleurs d'Citronnier. decent longevity for a citrus.
