Fragrance Notes
The Scoop
Quite simply the freshest, loveliest combination of sweet, honeyed-citrusy orange blossom and bitter green neroli on the market. No need to complicate proceedings or reinvent the wheel when you have two organic raw materials as exquisite as the Tunisian orange blossom and French neroli used here. A touch of buttery ylang to emphasize the fruity and floral nuances of the orange blossom, a light application of woody white musks to sustain the soapy sharpness of the neroli, and a hit of limey-green bergamot for zest and freshness – that is all.
And it is the simplicity of this approach that allows you to smell the whole orange tree at once, from the bright, zesty juice of the orange and the bitterness of the pith to the clean woodiness of the bark, the waxy honey of the orange blossoms, and the snappy green bite of the orange leaf. You can almost feel the late summer sun on your face when you wear Neroli Oranger – you are walking through an orange grove. Then later, the muskiness of clean, warm skin under a white linen shirt as you rest in the shade, in which echoes of the orangey brightness still lurk, long after the heat of the sun has faded. If you love neroli and orange blossom, then Neroli Oranger is fabulous. It is photorealistic enough to transport you to that orange grove but crisp enough to keep you focused all the way through a hot, sweaty day at the office.
