Néroli Hasbaya

Atelier Materi Néroli Hasbaya is a sweet cushiony neroli and orange blossom that smells citrus marshmallowy and slightly bubblegum to me. It's not sharply fresh or overly sweet and heavy. Very similar to Kilian LDBS with a less syrupy feel as there is more neroli in here than orange blossom and no caramel. Actually this reminds more of Love don't be Shy Extreme which was also a smooth neroli and orange blossom marshmallow, but sweeter, heavier, and more floral from the rose which at times made it too powdery. Neroli Hasbaya is fresher compared, allowing for it to be moderately sprayed and worn in warm weather compared to extreme. It's also not powdery, maybe because the florals have been replaced with nutty accords that I don't detect and more vanilla? Not sure but this also reminds me of Memo Paris Sintra, which wasn't powdery to me either but did have this sharp bitter petitgrain and neroli opening that I don't get in here. The dry down is really what's similar to Néroli Hasbaya but maybe Sintra was a little milkier. Performance is just as long at around 7 hours, but it becomes a skin scent around 5-6 hours while Sintra was more beastly when I had and finished the bottle. Knowing this profile though, this will get stronger and sweeter as the juice sits. Smelling this made me want to re-add LDBS extreme to my collection so I did. It was the only refillable bottle I sold after finishing because I didn't think I would want it, but here we are. This time I will keep the empty bottle after I finish, then buy the refill whenever I want it again down the line.

Incredibly nutty, tempered by sweetness and neroli/orange blossom. So comforting in cold weather. It’s an unusual combination of ingredients but it works. This lasts all day. Pistachio and neroli are the biggest players and this turns very soapy as it dries down. It’s kind of sexy. I dont find it cloying or immature or synthetic as mentioned below. But if you are not into orange blossom or neroli or nuts, you should definitely stay away. The “smells like” list is killing me. There are just a bunch of things on there that are either neroli, soapy, or citrusy vanillas. There is nothing on there that this actually compares to or that I can think of that it’s similar. It’s an unusual combination of notes. The more I wear the more i fall in love with it.

Wow I am impressed! I have a lot of neroli perfumes and this is probably one of the best!! The neroli and pistachio and almond ... is a masterpiece. Chefs kiss on this one! It’s so unique with the clean fresh vibe but yet warm and inviting.... Very nice dance. I bought a 10ml but will definitely buy a fb when this is done! Not sure on longevity yet but I am guess it’s going to be pretty good... at least 5-6 hours. I was a bit worried about the rose note because I usually hate rose in perfume ( smells sharp to me) but I get no distinguishable rose note. There may be a tiny hint in dry down but definitely not a stand out note

I wanna eat it, smell it, bathe in it... it makes me feel myself. Hard to explain but instead of being someone (as we like to use perfumes depending on the mood) this one makes me come back to myself. It’s pure light, luminous orange blossom they way it’s embraced by all the other notes. More elegant, sober and present than love don’t be shy (I’m having a love hate relationship with that one atm) I loveeee it, my testers are gone and I ‘ll probably buy it (not now as I spent almost 1k on new perfumes, oh lord..)

Luscious, velvety sugar studded orange blossoms wrapped around crisp juicy Néroli on a chocolatey pistachio base. This is gorgeous and best of all to me, different. Not just a rehash of someone else’s idea. The thing it reminds me of most is one of those chocolate oranges that come wrapped in foil and that split into individual segments for eating when unwrapped. Another home run for Atelier Materi. Néroli Hasbaya has a lovely silky feel on application and lasts 10 plus hours on skin.
