What does Néroli Bleu smell like?

It has moderate sillage and good longevity. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear. On character it tips slightly masculine, though a fair number of voters call it feminine.

Bergamot, Espelette pepper and peppermint open with coolness and a light bite. In the heart, mimosa, cardamom, neroli and blue ginger make a floral and spicy balance. The base of musk, mineral amber and orange blossom softens it, with green and woody tones staying in the background. Dunhill Century and Bvlgari Man Wood Neroli have a close profile.
