WHAT I SMELL: OroNardo’s opening is heavenly with creamy buttery lightly spiced tuberose that sparkles and buzzes with just the lightest of earthiness brushed with orange blossom. The warmed perfume wafts and dances like sun-kissed florals in the Mexican summer breeze. A greenish stem comes forward taking the perfume from the garden to the most luscious of bouquets. This is tuberose that’s not heavy nor overbearing, but tuberose that’s fresh and lightly dewy and which is very much alive. As the perfume continues to develop, the florals become lighter and rise into a heavenly aura. Here the perfume resides in a true essence of floral harmony wrapped up in the lightest of powder. Breathtaking.
From the Xinú website:
Mock orange blossom | Queen of the night flower | Marigold | Mexican tuberose | Yellow Oleander flower
Luminous | Elegant | Opulent | Golden
OroNardo is a tribute to the gorgeous Mexican tuberose.
Tuberose accentuated by mock orange blossom to bring out its naturally fleshy sexiness, using the spiciness of marigold to draw its green freshness.
The result captures the totality of the freshly-plucked flower, tuber, stems, petals, leaves, and all.
A bouquet of white and golden flowers..
WHAT IT SMELLS LIKE TO ME: Golden tuberose.

Hello,
Thank you for this review and introduction to such a lovely perfume OroNardo & website…
Everything including the hand soap description looks very appealing to me.
Mexican tuberose sounds like a winner! Your review of this floral fragrance was so uplifting. I appreciate the beautiful photo of the bottle and the butterfly as well. I think I’ll look into the sampler of their scents very soon. Mil gracias!

Hola Julie – they really are fabulous perfumes and their hand soaps really do sound incredible. I was thinking that I would go check them out because these sound perfect for the guest bathroom…luckily there is one of their boutiques where I live.
