I used to wear several orange perfumes but it's very hard to get an orange note to hang around for very long, and I found the majority of them used musky or floral undertones that were just too too heavy for me and my body chemistry. Smells seem to be amplified incredibly by my chemistry as I get older, so I have to be very very careful. lol The people around me are thankful for that, as well.
Now I just use either Satsuma Perfume Oil from The Body Shop or, when that's unavailable (they love to discontinue it then bring it back in one form or another) or essential oils I create myself. I go for notes of mandarin, lemon, grapefruit, pineapple and plum - very sweet and earthy.
