Neroli Woods

This ... is ... AMAZING! It definitely is a unisex fragrance but is perfect for either gender IF you love neroli and florals ... quite a bit of florals. The citrus note in this resembles nice, freshly-squeezed oranges ... but not just the oranges ... pretty much the entire tree! Really, you also get the nice green notes from the leaves and blossoms, too. This is NOT a syrupy sweet fragrance but it is a floral forward fragrance. It starts off as a bitter-sweet, sparking citrus neroli fragrance. IF you have smelled John Varvatos Artisan Pure and you like it ... then take away the slightly bitter herbal citrus opening in Artisan Pure and just soften it a bit and add more florals and less woody notes, then you end up with Banana Republic Neroli Woods. Even though this is called neroli woods, you get very little woods until the last hour of the drydown. Another reviewer who is less wordy than I am, said ... this fragrance is a citrus, floral with a nice, light woody hint. Because I was concerned about longevity and projection after reading other reviews, when I was about to wear it out for the first time, I sprayed 6 or 7 sprays. I received several compliments and it lasted over 6 hours with moderate projection and the neroli/floral notes were in the forefront the entire time until the very end ... then for around an additional hour a light musky, woody drydown finished off the end of this well crafted neroli fragrance and I'd give it a strong 8/10 rating. Add this to your collection, really ... like I said before ... AMAZING!

This is a gorgeous fragrance, so clean, fresh and classic for sure, yet not "Old Fashioned" or dated imo. I picture wearing Neroli Woods dressed in a white, raw silk shirt (or White Polo shirt) along with a pair of Dockers or something, maybe even a pair of nice cashual/dress shorts, walking on the beach or partaking in some outdoor event. Neroli Woods really does remind me of TF Neroli Portofino, although the opening is not as strong as the TF thus sitting much closer to your skin. I currently have Maison Alhambra's Porto Neroli and while that one does project more and smells stronger initially, Neroli Woods really stcks around much longer imo. I wore Neroli Woods to work and was catching whiffs of it throughout most of my 8 hour shift, while the Porto Neroli does project more, its pretty much completely gone after hour 5 or 6 hours depending on whether you over spray it or not. I think Neroli Woods makes a PERFECT office scent as it gives you the feeling of just being Ultra Fresh and Clean and its in no way offensive even if over sprayed and it is also Perfectly Unisex. While Neroli Woods isnt very unique, it is very nice and the quality of the ingredients are truly top notch! I give this an 8 outta 10.. Classic Beauty!!🫠

Neroli Woods Banana Republic is a citrus, floral and woody fragrance. Its opening is citrus and green, very sparkling and pleasant. After a few minutes, the presence of the neroli note increases, which is the main note of this fragrance, although there are also more floral notes. After 1 hour or so a woody base can be noted, but never above the neroli note. This fragrance is ideal to use during the day, or on warm days like spring and summer days, it puts me in a good mood and is relaxing. My wife likes this fragrance and it is the only fragrance we share, because it is very unisex leaning more feminine.. Neroli Woods has an acceptable longevity, with me it stays for at least 8 hours, however the trail or diffusion it leaves is short, it can only be smelled very close to the skin.

Ok, so I bought a bottle of Banana Republic Neroli Woods 100ml at TJ Maxx for $20. It is a beautiful Neroli fragrance without a doubt. Very, very nice! The Neroli starts out powerful, almost sharp, but not too sharp. Then, the citrus and floral notes hit. After that, the soapiness and maybe the cedar start to develop. This is a very nice fragrance. Very polished and clean. Definitely reminds me of Italy. Definitely for cool weather, say 50 to 80 degrees. I love it. It's simple, but yet, understated elegance. Very well done! My only advice would be for Banana Republic to invest in adding a little bit more oils to their fragrances so that they last longer and project better. Then, they would sell the pants off this thing. Longevity 3/5 Projection 3/5 Scent 5/5 Value 5/5

This is a beautiful, smooth take on a fresh neroli fragrance. It is a bit more masculine than TF Neroli Portofino, but similar to that fragrance in construction. The notes are well blended, but a high-quality neroli note definitely takes center stage. Longevity is about 2 hours before it becomes a skin scent. Probably that could be extended by spraying on top of clothes, but I usually don't do that. The woods are not heavy at all, but lend a nice depth to the experience. The amber is mixed in very well and not really detectable as a separate note until well into the dry down. I don't pick up on a coconut vibe, at least not in the sense of Creed Virgin Island Water or Guess 1981 Indigo. Overall, this is a great value as the fragrance quality is top notch.
