Neroli Sauvage

A good majority of reviews here are pretty much spot on in terms of performance against value and in the overall feel of what this fragrance embodies. It gives a clean & refreshing nature as soon as it's applied on the skin. A full flotilla of citrus on a nice bed of ambergris and nothing more. Think in the realm of Maurer & Wirtz 4711 and more closely to their Remix offerings with citrus and floral combinations. Neroli Sauvage is just a better blended offering with a close resemblance in performance to those latter creations. The quality though simple & serene, is undoubtedly there yet the value is severely lacking for the price it is going for today. The juice is gorgeous and can be worn without pretentiousness of on what side of the gender barrier does this elixir fall on. One can wear this at whatever time of the day and nearly any occasion sans a high end formal event and one might still pull it off. It actually rides that fine line exquisitely well as it smells amazing on both myself and my wife's skin as we both use it. Pushes for about 45 minutes to an hour and stays on the skin almost like that early morning dew just hovering above the wetted strands of grass. It won't go any further but, with some extra sprays and some on clothing one will catch pleasing and wonderful wafts of it as it mixes well with our body chemistry. Bitter, some tartness and a slightly sweet aura to it that brings good vibes and a smile on my face. Don't touch it at full retail (unless price is of no significance) but, if you see one righteously discounted at 40% or higher, I'd highly recommend giving it a solid go at it. In the end to each their own. Personally, I enjoy the hell out of this.

This smells of class, but a refreshing class. It's like Dior homme cologne was a union manager, and this is the CEO. It's a different take on neroli and citrus, very understated almost like it's not meant to project above a foot, which somehow suits this profile. It's reserved classiness but not stuck up, not suit or formal, but a scent I can picture a millionaire wearing in a golf or tennis outfit. Scent wise I love it, it's weirdly unique yet familiar. This might sound weird, but this smells like citrus, verbena and....new sneaker smell. Sounds odd but it works somehow lol. I just sprayed it like 10 mins ago and I doubt it will last 4 hours but man will I enjoy it until it lasts. Edit: After a full wearing this for sure lasts 7 hours +, but projection is around half a foot to a foot. I actually don't mind the projection since it gives a nice intimate scent bubble that you will smell and those really close to you will smell. I was actually expecting bad performance from all the reviews, but for me I got good performance. But if you are expecting projection, this isn't the one for you. I recently purchased Eau de Rochas, and there's definitely similarity between the two, EDR has a really rough opening that settles down around the 10 min mark and at that point EDR and ES are around 80% similar. NS has much better quality in it's ingredients, BUT if you want an alternative to NS (much cheaper too), give EDR a try. Both have around the same performance. Again it's not a 1 to 1, there are differences, but it's close enough to scratch that itch.

This is a settle, balanced, beautiful, super fresh and elegant fragrance. This is by far one of the most underrated Creed fragrance. I will tell you this little secret, every fragrance out there maybe you absolute favorite and you can only find it during your own right moment with it. I know this from my own journey, the first time I smelled the Neroli Sauvage I was a sample at a local Creed boutique. I absolutely hated the smell of it in the beginning. To me it was no more than just a lemonade vibe. One year had passed by and my friend was speaking so highly of this fragrance. I tried a larger sample he gave, and this time I tried it at my own pace, at my own perfect moment. Next summer I bought a bottle and now every time I spray it I remmeber how Creed described this fragrance on their website. A hot summer evening in a Southern Italian village, soft ocean breeze and a glass of vino. It is finaly makes sense now. I had the similar story with Royal Mayfair, untill you get the perfect setting one fragrance may mean nothing to you. It is like an experience, you associate the aroma of the situation then you add the vibe of the atmosphere around you end up the memorable inprint that stays with you forever. Remmeber this next time you visit that village in Southern Italy on your adventurous summer vacation. The moment you recognize the scent of Neroli Sauvage from the air of never ending green bergamot plantations. The scent 10/10 Longevity 5/10 Price 5/10

Cannot speak for any kind of recent formulation - or in fact any batch other than the 2012 Millesime batch that I recently acquired, thus I'm strictly speaking about this vintage version of Neroli Sauvage. Some of the reviews here speak of 'cleaning product' or generic lemon notes, plus poor longevity. This almost put me off, because there are some renditions of lemon that made me want to dry retch such as lemon lozenges, toilet cleaner etc. Totally understandable. This is absolutely *not* that sort of cheap, synthetic citrus - or anything close. Firstly - this is 100% a masculine fragrance - because of the peppery ambergris that tickles your nostrils combined with the clean note I almost interpret as Juniper or Cypress. The neroli itself I think blended into the citrus over time to elevate the notes themselves and present that fizzy, luxurious citrus top. Secondly - whats interesting is of all the fragrances I've worn over the years - this is the first/only on that 'feels alive'. Other frags seem to sit on the skin, usually dry down etc... but this fragrance 'breathes' and seems to 'live' and evolve - thus between the moment you start inhaling to smell it and the moment your lungs are at capacity - its has 'changed' three times - leaving you needing more.... if that makes sense.

Ive sampled the vintage version of this and I own a newer 2.5oz bottle. The fragrances are "night and day" as far as their performance; the vintage stuff easily lasted a workday but the new stuff, maybe til lunch. The new stuff (with the yellow sticker label) is great! It's sharp and pleasant and the opening few minutes really do smell quite a bit like Irish Spring soap, which i happen to love. Super-citrus zest and white floral, as time goes by the white floral becomes more forefront, but it all fades away sooner than you'd probably like. Weirdly enough if i applied this scent right after a shower, I seemed to get more longevity than if I sprayed it on before leaving the house, as usual. So maybe walk into your wardrobe while wearing your towel and hit yourself with this a few times, then go get ready for work :) The vintage stuff i sampled so long ago i don't have a heck of a lot to say, but i recall it was generally a bit more 'salty', was less citrus-zesty and 3 sprays lasted a Summer workday. Loved it. Still love the new stuff too. This is somewhat of a hidden gem within the Creed lineup. An easy 8 out of 10 for me, a proper go-to/no-brainer scent for pretty much any season, but the warmer the better.

Ok, if you want to know what this smells like take bergamote and grapefruit with the astringency of the rinds included, put them in a blender and add some very expensive soap into it. This is the first 30 minutes of the fragrance. After that the neroli begins to come through and the citrus dies down but does not disappear. The beginning borders on astringent but doesn't cross into that realm. I would describe it more like bracing, like jumping into an icy cold pond. That being said this along with Gucci Pour Homme II are my two favorite scents of all time. I have smelled hundreds of fragrances and even though this is not particularly daring it just resonates with me. It is a bright clean masculine scent that is very high quality and well made. As far as longevity I think that it really depends on the batch. I have been lucky to find that the scent lasts for hours on my skin. This scent, if it last on your skin, is worth every penny in my opinion. This is a personal masterpiece for me.

What a magnificent scent. It’s marine-like, bitter-sweet neroli, refreshing masculine take on a classic summer fragrance. I get a 2 hours of projection. Longevity goes for about 6 hours as an intimate scent. If I workout after that point it will anctually kick on angain annd I’ll get 1 extra hour with slight projection. If this fragrance projected for 4-5 hours and last 10 hours. It would be the holy grail of summer fragrances. But for most they will see the performance as the Achilles heel making one not purchase. In my books though? It’s worth it. You just have to know what to use it for. Which yes, is slightly discouraging because it’s so expensive. But It’s a fragrance that is uplifting and can be worn for a short night out, a shorter date, meet up, summer evening. Just don’t expect it to be with you the whole evening announcing its presence.

I love most Creed fragrances and managed to great a great deal on a 250ml Flacon a few years ago. Although these citrus/aromatic/freshies aren't my favorite scent genre, I found Neroli Sauvage to be a very nice Summertime citrus fragrance, although it didn't initially grab my attention as being anything extraordinaire; just a very solid and enjoyable citrus scent. Over the years I have really come to enjoy wearing this one during the warm Summer months. Unfortunately, the longevity of this fragrance is weak even for a citrus scent (2-hours, 3 if I'm lucky) and, except for the opening, it sits pretty close to my skin. I really like this fragrance, but I cannot recommend it because of performance issues. I'm actually a bit surprised because I have fragrance friendly skin and most Creeds perform well on my skin. A strong like!

I ordered a 5ml decant of this, and Erolfa, because I've been craving some Summer scents. I had previously sampled Erolfa but this was my first time trying Neroli Sauvage, and right off the bat i find the two colognes to share many similarities!! Both open citrusy and salty, Erolfa being a tad saltier, but as they dry down they go in slightly different directions. I also find a similarity with this to Jardin D'Amalfi, but only in terms of how i perceive the citrus to smell kinda like "orange fizzy candies". In summary, I'm actually really glad i tried Neroli Sauvage! For my personal taste, i like it better than JD'A but not as much as i like Erolfa. A no-brainer for Summers near the coast, and seems to be available at a good price. Another Creed that doesn't get the fanfare it should. A solid 8/10 for me, easily likeable.

Gentlemanly, clean, soapy, sexy and safe...quintessential spring/summer signature scent. This is fantastic stuff!!! So simple, yet so good. Open with a. pleasant but not overwhelming citrus orange vibe. As it dries, the neroli and lemon verbena combo turn into a nice green fresh soapy awesomeness. It is so good and non-offensive. This is what one lives with until the ambergris sneaks in to add depth. Projection and longevity are average...the only downside hear. Easily unisex. Spring/summer. This would make a phenomenal signature scent for someone during warmer months. Personally, I like this better than GIT. I think it’s a sexier “safe” every day all occasions DNA.

A deliciously refreshing opening which reminds me of the finest freshly squeezed orange juice, served in a flowering orange grove in the sun drenched countryside of Seville. I love to wake up to this fragrance when the weather is warm, it’s like being on a Mediterranean vacation! The spectacular opening soon gives way to a mouthwatering sherbet lemon note from the verbena, which, anchored by the ambergris, persists much longer than the average citrus fragrance. A gorgeously uplifting summer fragrance with an almost gourmand quality; you can positively taste the citrus freshness.

Very good Neroli and actually prefer it over Tom Ford Neroli Portofino. Creed Neroli Sauvage is more versatile. A lot of citrus and freshness. I tend to say that fresh and citrus fragrances are a bit flat and simple to me but this one is not to my nose. Well crafted (still simple) and blended in a good way. I would almost say this is a better and more refined version of D&G Light Blue Intense with a bit more depth. "Everyone" is wearing Light Blue so if you like that one and want to stand out a bit more, go for Creed Neroli definitely. You won't regret it.

Love this one. It’s such a mood lifter. The opening is so refined, gentle, and refreshing. Then the rest of the scent is all about creamy ambergris with hints of verbana. That’s pretty much it. Beautiful and simple. I used to own it but didn’t appreciate it and sold it. But I’ll be picking up a tester soon for the upcoming warmer months. I recommend skipping it altogether if you’re not a fan of linear scents. Longevity is excellent, lasts all day on me, but that always varies from person to person. An all season juice that'll shine great in the heat.

Wow the similarity with Eau de Rochas Homme is uncanny! And what do ya know... Rochas released in 1993. Creed released in 1994. 😂🤣😂 It is indeed exceptional juice, but not for the neroli note, mainly the lemon/citrus. It has the sparkling Creed opening and velvety musk in the base which is a great contrast to the citrus. As it dries it starts to remind me of ELDO Cologne and Atelier Grand Neroli which are also primarily citrus... Longevity aside, could still be full bottle worthy for me, discounted of course.

Bright and fresh. I think this is one of Creed's most underrated fragrances. I don't know of anyone who would object to you wearing this fragrance that can be worn by male or female alike. the only drawback to the fragrance is it just doesn't last as long as I would like. I usually get about 4 hours out of this fragrance unless I spray it on my clothes then maybe 5. even though, it doesn't last as long you're fragrance smells so good it's very well worth the money.

I don’t know if anybody feels this way, but this is the happiest and brightest CREED I’ve tried. Judging from this 2012 batch I have, the opening is sparkly and zesty. The drydown becomes herbaceous and slightly ambery/salty. The opening is undoubtedly my favorite and it gives me such a positive energy when I smell it. I’m not the biggest d*ck rider of this house but wow I love this.

Nice neroli scent, where the herbal aspect is more prominent and the flowery aspects are less. Bright and uplifting citrus neroli scent good for summer times. Creed signature is there (salty musky).. but unfortunately it dies to skinscent in 5 minutes and disappears in 45 minutes.. There are many scents a like which last longer. Beautiful but a big disappointment

I don't get neroli and I cant match it with any neroli one, though its nice sunny and cosy, like it gives you the feel of summer sun heat over the yellow lemon fruit tree, I get mostly lemon verbena, the best part is the dry down very nice, cosy lemony ambergris creed's quality, but again this issue with longevity and sillage. good for coolish weather imo.

In typical Creed fashion, the name does not reflect the perfume. Don't expect to smell any Neroli here. Its basically Lemon Pledge furniture polish. Lasts for 30 minutes, and then leaves you wondering why you just spent all that money for this. Precisely why you should just get up and go to a store to smell this.

Like being cornered by someone in a linen shirt, convinced they exude authentic Mediterranean vibes - while completely unaware they're one spritz away from smelling exactly like the hand sanitiser in a Pizza Express. That said, when used appropriately or layered it is truly stunning.
