maybe:
After Shave Soother (Lotion) Orange Sandalwood - After Shave Soother (Lotion) - Shaving Products
I have the shave cream & it's pretty orange-y
Yup, Royall makes a Mandarin aftershave/cologne which is reasonably priced but hard to come by. It's actually marketed as an "all purpose lotion".
Other than that, you could try a search for neroli, which is very much orange-based. But be warned, neroli colognes/EdT's are nice but usually very pricey. I was lucky enough to sample Castle Forbes neroli a couple years ago, and that went for well over $200 a bottle IIRC.
You could also try this as far as a neroli based aftershave. But as Ryan already stated...they aren't cheap.
I would really advise against the Royall Mandarin... it's a very synthetic scent and smells nauseating to my nose. FragranceX is where I managed to get a sample, if you really want to go for it...Quote:

I've used the Royall. I thought it was very natural smelling. The issue was the scent was overpowering.
I picked up a sample of Czech & Speake Neroli last year and was pretty pleased with it, it's a nice summer scent.
Well, to be fair I've never tried it nor smelled it, I was simply pointing out its existence lol :)Quote:
