What does Neroli (Cologne) smell like?

It opens with neroli and orange; African orange blossom adds a soft floral heart, and ylang-ylang leaves a faintly sweet base underneath. Fruity and spicy touches stay in the background.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is chosen mainly for leisure, daily wear and the office. Votes split almost evenly between masculine and feminine. Hermès Eau de Néroli Doré and Penhaligon's Eau de Cologne have a close profile.
