What does Special Reserve Neroli smell like?

Most voters recommend it for spring and summer, and few pick winter. Leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, and most voters read the character as masculine and classic.

It opens fresh and citrusy, with citrus notes and lemon giving a light, bright start. Neroli brings a soft floral heart, and woods settle the scent onto a dry base. Green, fruity and lightly spicy shades stay behind that main line. Harry Lehmann Esterel and Creed Neroli Sauvage have a close profile.
