What does Néroli Intense smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, while fall and winter sit further behind. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, and also suits nights out and the office. Feminine and masculine votes run close, so it reads comfortably both ways.

The top opens with tarragon, neroli, mandarin orange and orange, giving a fresh, lightly spicy citrus start. In the heart, pittosporum blossom, petitgrain and orange blossom absolute deepen the floral side. The base of patchouli, white musk and beeswax absolute settles it onto a woody, creamy ground.
