I love it - it would make a great fragrance although I'm not sure what the notes are...

I have no idea but I know exactly what you mean. I would love a fragrance version of the white company's Seychelles. Wouldn't it be good if they cottoned on to the idea. Hope someone comes along soon to help you. Perfumistas out there are good at the whole notes thing.

Elemis flash balm smells mostly of orange blossom, try the Jo Malone one.

Is it the same as Elemis Marine Cream? Because that is Poison by Dior.

Yves Rocher do a Neroli perfume that is orange blossom.

Love orange blossom so that's a good starting point....

I think marine cream smells a bit different

Smells chiefly of petit grain to me? Perhaps try the Miller Harris one?

Or Roger et Gallet Jean Marie Farina? Prada Infusion De Fleur D'oranger?

Bloody isn't poison, most aptly named perfume ever.
I love it too, got it free on a mag, think I might actually buy some.

Haven't tried the balm but the ingedients listed here include various citruses, lavender and clary sage. Some bitter orange ideas here - if you can find the Chloe mentioned there it might get pretty close. My personal favorite is Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Nerolia Bianca.

Thanks all, will do a tour of the orange scents - think the Guerlain ones are quite reasonable so would be great for summer...

Oh definitely, Marine Cream doesn't smell of oranges. It's that that smells of Poison, but slightly less heavy.
