What does Symphonie de Néroli smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it sits close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, with winter the least chosen season. Leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions. It leans masculine in the votes, though a good share read it as feminine.

It opens bright with clementine, lime, bergamot and lemon. In the heart, Tunisian neroli and jasmine sambac add a soft floral note, while Indian and Java vetiver give a green, dry backbone. The base settles into tolu balm, Virginia cedar and oakmoss, woody and lightly spicy.
