Orange 26 (Reformulation)
EDPUnisex
The Story
Orange 26 is a bold, bitter orange that feels like a walk through a sun-drenched Sicilian grove. The 2019 reformulation smoothed out some rough edges while keeping the core character: a zesty, almost sour orange peel opening that dries down to a warm, woody base. It's a sophisticated citrus that doesn't fade into sweetness.
