Oranges and Lemons Say the Bells of St. Clements attempts to revisit the classic citrus Eaux de Cologne with disappointing results.
While there's actually nothing wrong with its hesperidic structure, there's nothing related to its performance that certifies its stated concentration of an Eau de Parfum. With a simple, subtle and extremely fleeting demeanour, it fails to convincingly differentiate itself from the source of its inspiration. Personally, one would rather settle on a similar (and cheaper) Eau de Cologne from, say, Guerlain.
One star deducted for its ostentatious price and deceptive pseudo-concentration claim.
