Orange Tonic
Azzaro (2002)

Orange Tonic is an eau fraiche that is the successor to the utterly charming Eau Belle. In Eau Belle, you have mandarin topnotes blending with a delicate honey-jasmine heart and resting on a misty mossy-wood base. Orange Tonic picks up the orange and honey theme and adds in more florals, mostly warmish and sunny white flowers, as well as a few herbal touches. You get a very simple but nonetheless lovely scent designed to be a treatment fragrance; its official designation is not EDT but "tonifiante" (toning fragrance), because it's fortified with vitamins and energizing essences. As Azzaro is a Clarins company, this makes total sense; Clarins makes some of the absolute best treatment fragrances out there and Orange Tonic is no exception. I hope Azzaro continues to do fragrances in the eau fraiche theme, because the ones they've produced thus far are really terrific.
