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.

BR frags are value for money. They cost $27-29 Singapore dollars at Mustafa here, about 20-22 usd. Neroli Woods is a lovely clean fresh flora neroli scent, as I type it's still on the skin after 2 hours so I think it's decent since some similar scents are gone in an hour or two. The light skin scent drydown is pretty nice, floras and some woody cedar. Good for a hot and humid day. Good for layers. Bottle is simple and nice. It comes across as more quality than Maison Alhambra Neroli. The Neroli note is becoming one of my favorites in freshies whenever I want a breather away from the heavy composition of rose oud leathery incensey scents. Neroli sloths and calm my nerves. Good frag for a budget price.

I love neroli based fragrances. This is value for your money, I must be very lucky because this leaves a lovely trail whenever I wear it and I've received compliments many times from friends and family. I even wore this to my sisters wedding and I could still smell it lingering after a full 12+hours. I noticed that throughout the day every time I was heating up this would start to sing alongside my body heat... I'll be repurchasing this when my bottle is almost done and I really hope the new bottle is as strong as my current one! Just goes to show you that everyone has a different experience and the ratings for longevity and sillage don't reflect what you may experience!

Found this one at Burlington for $20 so couldn't resist. This has a wonderfully fresh neroli opening, buoyed by floral notes. I definitely see how this could lean more feminine at first, but I would argue it's more of a clean, sunny, citrusy type floral, than a perfumey one. It's fairly linear, but closer to dry down there is a note that I can only describe as Coppertone-like, just under the surface. The notes really connote Summer in a well balanced way. On skin, the performance and silage are moderate at best. But on clothing (or bed linens) the scent really lingers in a soft and comforting manner. If you like Neroli frags, this is a very safe blind buy!

It doesn't smell like 4711, nor Ferrari Bright Neroli. In those the Neroli is quite acid. More like lemon & Bergamot. Neroli Portofino is also more citrusy. This smells very much the same as Ermenegildo Zegna Mediterranean Neroli. That smooth. No sour citruses in these 2. These are by far the best "Neroli" scents. It has a decent projection for about 4 hours. Than one hour later it disappeared. But this at temperatures aroud 14-15 degrees. I have good hopes it will get even better in hotter weather. Nevertheless I paid 1/6 for Neroli Woods. Very good deal.

I actually disagree that Neroli Woods has poor longevity (and Im a total performance WHORE!). Its just sort of a quiet fragrance, but when I applied 4 spritzes on my neck for work, I kept getting whiffs of it throughout my entire 8 hr shift. Its just a muted fragrance is al, but NOT short-livedl. Id venture to say that it lasts even longer than TF Neroli Portofino actually. Beautiful, clean "Genderless", quiet but lasting fragrances like Banana Republic's Neroli Woods certainly has its uses, THATS FO SHO! A great, fresh GEM!

Very nice fragrance. While the obvious comparison is TF's Neroli Portofino, this fragrance is better for men as NP is more feminine. Neroli Woods reminds me of the orange tree more than NP as it has a bit more of a petitgrain and wood notes in it. Another comparison is Monegal's Entre Naranjos. Entre Naranjos has a very strong petitgrain note which I do not prefer. Sillage and longevity are not great, but for the price, it is not bad.

Neroli lovers rejoice! Anything with neroli in the title gets my attention. Of course longevity and performance could be better, but for 20 bux it's a good cheapie out-the-shower that lasts longer than my beloved 4711. The woods definitely take the high ground on my skin, so don't overspray or you'll be tasting it. I don't care about it being slightly floral and (slightly) feminine. For the manly men, just get Bvlgari Wood Neroli.

Truly unisexy. Bright and crisp opening without being sharp. Dries down to a quintessentially “clean laundry” scent without smelling like a fabric softener sheet. This is what I have been looking for, for my hot Texas weather. This is what I wish Green Tea was. Great blind buy. Love it so much! My second from BR and both have been bangers. (Dark Cherry and Amber was the other and it’s amazing.)

dont know about the darker ones but the entire fresh BR icon line is superb. this one is no exception and is comfortably up there with the likes of NP and Bright Neroli. neroli frags often lean feminine due to the note itself but with the infusion of smooth woods this leans more masculine. another sublime summertime frag from BR, well done those guys!

I love neroli, so I love this. Smells clean, similar to other neroli frags like Neroli Portofino and 4711. Just a nice, clean, white floral. Higher quality than you'd expect, but low performance. That is just how it is with neroli though, pretty much. But this one is cheap you can overspray and enjoy. This scent is clean and will not offend anyone.

This is a banger. Simple, well blended. Beautiful neroli smell, not overly feminine. Uplifts the mood. Can't beat it at the price. I personally think the Banana Republic line stands way above the others in the price range they are sold at. Got a 2.5oz bottle for $12.99.. Definitely going to snag a backup bottle.

I love it. I am not a fan of coconut smell but fortunately, I cannot detect any coconut in this perfume. The neroli note is not so sharp like Atelier Grand Neroli, it is spreaded in a more tender way. The wood note in the base is perfect, gentle and cozy, still comfortable in a summer day.

This is insanely good value. Smells identical to TF Neroli Portofino for a fraction of the price. I don't know why some people say the performance is weak, personally I get excellent performance with just 3-4 sprays. Good sillage and easy 6-8 hours before it becomes a skin scent.

A beautiful, beachy and soapy fragrance for an excellent price (marked down to $12.99 at Burlington). Neroli signifies summer is here! It also lasts, I sprayed it on before I went to bed (and could smell it in the morning). It reminds me of Bobbi Brown’s Beach and Celine Parade.

Love this scent. A great option for warm weather, if you aren’ta fan of all the “blue” headache inducing teenage gym scents that all the Tik Tokkers think are amazing. Layers beautiful under Elixir for a more night time summer scent. I do 4 sprays neroli to 2 elixir.
