OrientalWhat does Neroli smell like?
Lemon zest and bitter orange lead, and the heart turns softly floral with freesia, neroli, peony and jasmine. The base of sandalwood, musk, vanilla and amber sweetens the scent and settles it on a lightly powdery, woody footing.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close to the skin without crowding anyone. Its fresh, citrusy, floral build suits everyday wear. Balenciaga Cristobal Eau de Cristobal and Yardley Baroque have a close profile.
