What does Cap Néroli smell like?

It opens with orange, mandarin orange and petitgrain, while rosemary and mint add a green, slightly spicy coolness to that bright start. At the heart, neroli, ylang-ylang, jasmine absolute and orange blossom absolute bring a soft floral touch. Musk and oakmoss close it on a clean, faintly earthy base.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without crowding the room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions. Votes for feminine and masculine character sit close together, so it reads as genuinely unisex. Lorenzo Villoresi Acqua di Colonia and Guerlain Herbes Troublantes have a close profile.
