Just opened my shipment of Spring Orange Blossom! I will use it this evening and update, but just wanted to post my opinion of the scent. I realize that scent is very personal, but the lady who mentioned honeysuckle, I would completely agree. I smell blossom or honeysuckle with a hint of orange. The orange or citrus note is not strong at all, and it is the floral that lingers. To me, despite being so floral it is still very light and clean. Not overly sweet. Florals tend to give me headaches, but this doesn't bother me. I love it, perfect for Spring! I am going to use it exclusively for both cleanses tonight to get a good feel for how it works on my hair. So far, I'm a big fan!

I agree totally. I smell a honeysuckle smell with a touch of citrus. I like it. It smells like spring to me. I can't wait to hear what you think of the performance. I will cleanse with it in the morning.

Wow, ok, I may have a new favorite!! The scent in the shower was a little slice of heaven. The shower brought out the orange, although it still wasn't strong, and it was kind of like walking through a flower garden. Fresh and clean. The consistency was very light. Not as light and frothy as BGT, but definitely on the lighter side. It was easy to rinse out, and I was shocked when I actually heard my hair squeaking. I thought for sure it was going to leave my hair dry. I used it as a leave in, with my usual 613 styling cream, glossing serum and couple drops of oil. I couldn't believe the results when I blew my hair dry. I have thick, coarse, dry hair and scalp. Using BGT alone leaves my hair dry and straw-like. (But I still like to use it for first cleanse with something more moisturizing second.) But, after Spring Orange Blossom, my hair was VERY clean, soft, smooth, SO shiny and most of all NOT dry or straw-like. It isn't weighed down at all, still has body. I'm actually at a loss... how can it get my hair so clean without being drying? Maybe it's the citrus extracts? Whatever it is, I am amazed. I suspect that for my very dry hair I will still need to mix it up with heavier formulas like Fig for more moisture, and not use SOB exclusively every single time I cleanse. However, I am so thrilled with the results that I absolutely must have it in my lineup. I'm afraid I will have to buy a ton of it, because I can't imagine being without it now. I am interested to see what you ladies think of it. Something about this formula really agrees with my hair.

I thought maybe the orange would bloom in the shower because I smelled the orange when I rubbed it on my hand. Thanks so much for your review. It sounds wonderful. I can't wait to use it. I'm not sure if I want to use it for both cleanses or use it for a second cleanse after TT. I always use TT for my first cleanse. Hmmm, what to do? Either way, I can't wait. I have really started to love BGT. When I use it on its own, it's a little drying, but if I use it after TT, it is amazing. Your review makes me think I will like it.

I didn't care for the initial scent and won't be able to use mine until tomorrow, I am hoping and hoping I like it this much! Fingers crossed!

I just cleansed my 4 year old son's hair with the spring orange blossom. His hair is pretty dry and he has a dry scalp. The scent was not that strong as I was cleansing his hair. The scent doesn't seem to linger much either. I think overall the scent is very light. I noticed that it was pretty frothy and creamy as I was cleansing his hair. I used 4 pumps of tea tree for his first cleanse and 4 pumps of sob for his second cleanse. It reminds me of BGT a little in the way that it froths and rinses well. His hair is still damp, but I notice that it adds shine to his hair. It is probably the citrus extracts adding the shine. Right now, I would say that it is medium for moisture level. It is definetely more moisturizing than spring gardenia green tea in my opinion. It is not heavy on his hair. It seems very light. It also seems more moisturizing than wcm. It really performs a lot like BGT to me. It may be a little more moisturizing than BGT. It is really to soon to tell. I feel like I will be able to tell more when I cleanse my hair with it in the morning. ETA, Now that my son's hair is dry, it is really, really soft. I think I like it!!

I am like a kid at Christmas. I have a couple of bottles and read these good reviews and I am just so excited to try it. It's dumb and I never shower at night because I hate going to bed with a wet head. I just cleansed today or I would probably do it anyway.

I cleansed with it this morning. It really made my hair super soft. I love the scent. The orange scent blooms in the shower. I can't wait for the RTM and oil! I think this scent will carry over to summer nicely for those who think they may not like the summer honey peach. I like this one! Eta: I'm not sure this one will have enough moisture for me to use daily. I will use it occasionally like I use the other seasonals. Bummer! I am hoping the summer honey peach will be more moisturizing. We shall see..
