Neroli Cologne

As you can probably tell, this is not going to be a long lasting one, owing to the light floral note that this encapsulates :) That said, I consider it my benchmark 'neroli' scent. Originally a gift for my mother, I thought this was just too good not to enjoy it as well, so I ended up with a bottle for myself not long after. I can imagine walking in a field of orange groves in late spring somewhere on a Mediterranean coast, with the hot air blowing this heavenly floral whiff in my direction. You can bet that come summer I'll shower in this stuff and will not hold back on the trigger!! I find it very refreshing in the summer heat, light and inoffensive and yet quite pronounced for a good 4-6 hours. I can still smell the dry-down beyond that time, which has traces of the top/mid mixed with the ylang-ylang in the base. Overall, it is a very linear scent so don't expect much mutation here. Easily my favourite from the C&S line. 4/5 overall for me.

I agree that this scent does not last long. However, I think the mens' cologne #88 is very similar and more powerful.

This is a strange one. I really love all kinds of citrus, and am always looking for the ones you can wear in winter. And this is one you can pull of in any weather and in any circumstance, as the citrus transforms in 10 minutes into something aldehyde and sticky. Not really bad, but not altogether fresh and uplifting either. This is a certain try before you buy, and first wait for it to develop before buying, especially for this price-tag. It certainly is for the more mature crowd. Besides my reservations, the bottle is very disappointing, I really don’t like the Cavalli/Versace blingbling, but this is way too simple and cheap, once again considering the price-tag. I give it a 6 for originality, but thats it.

This is my favorite neroli I've sampled and it smells like the real deal. This is the closest thing I could find to the neroli hydrosol one gets in Morocco in the spring. It's a bit expensive for what it is honestly but it does the true neroli fragrance so well, without sweetening it up unnecessarily and without going overly soapy. I have been pleasantly surprised with the performance too as I wouldn't normally expect something like this to do too well but it isn't bad for a citrus base. Overall it's really nice and a great fresh scent that one can wear any time.

I like this wonderful smell of orange and natural blend of Ylang-Ylang earlier then comes the full force of orange blossom and neroli in the background giving your brand soon. So I would rate it: Smell: 8/10 Projection: 7.5/10 Longevity: 7/10
