The appeal here is the meeting of orange and dessert-like richness. Sweet orange and Seville orange sit alongside sticky toffee pudding, Demerara sugar and fruit cake, while glazed nectarines and overripe apricots keep a fruit thread in view. Soft spice offers a modest counterpoint. It sounds generous and coherent, with citrus and spice set against the sweeter notes. That fruit-led balance makes for a warm, appealing direction.
