Creamy orange blossom that doesn’t give me toasted corn !

The Manoeuvres of the Baroness by Penhaligon'sPenhaligon'sThe Manoeuvres of the Baroness5.02 ratings

Somehow, orange blossom or neroli mixed with vanilla/sweet/creamy notes come off as corn chippy 🌽 to my nose. This happened to me with Maison d’ETTO Verdades, PDM Oriana, Memo Paris Sintra, and BDK Villa Neroli. Does this happen to anyone else?!

    lol! The brain is a crazy thing. I think once it makes a connection with a scent memory and a new scent, it’s really hard to unsmell it? It’s like the whole dill pickle thing, I don’t get that in perfumes, but I’ve never smelt a dill pickle. I really like Villa neroli so I’m looking forward to testing this one (I’m a big fan of Penhaligon’s). Have you ever smelt Valentino Donna Born in Roma Ivory and do you get corn chips with that (it’s an orange blossom/cannula scent).. because I’m wondering might it be specifically when a little patchouli is mixed that you get this?
