What does Neon (2023) smell like?

It opens with lime, Italian bergamot, grapefruit and orange in a bright citrus cluster, while pink pepper and pineapple add a spicy, fruity edge. Pineapple carries on into the heart, where ambroxan and galbanum bring a clean, slightly green air. The base of vetiver, patchouli, white musk and sandalwood settles it onto a woody footing.

Longevity and sillage are rated strong, though few have voted. Voters lean towards daytime and leisure wear, with sport also a common pick. It reads equally comfortable on men and women. Escada Sentiment pour Homme (Eau de Toilette) and Creed Aventus Cologne have a close profile.
