Mediterranean Neroli Eau de Parfum

What god made Zegna's Mediterranean Neroli EDP, and what devil took it away? I will never know, but they are both cruel. Those lucky enough to obtain a decant, sample, a remnant bottle, or even an unopened box be warned: this shit is powerful. One spray is enough, it lasts forever, and you'll want to conserve it because you possess the very last divine liquid light on planet earth. Zegna's Essenze line has been a resounding success. From Indonesian Oud to Mediterranean Neroli to Florentine Iris, the uncredited perfumers contracted by the house of Zegna have absolutely outdone themselves staying true to the inspiration of each and every fragrance within the line. I am so fortunate to have one of the 2018 batches of the now discontinued (should be a crime) Mediterranean Neroli. This soliflore tribute to Neroli is truly magical, it possesses a quality and effervescence that similar celebrations of the flower have just not been able to capture, and Essenze casts sexy shadows upon dry down just like the light of golden hour before sunset. Nothing feels synthetic here; the sophisticated pairing of tarragon and saffron is what - I think - makes this juice so very special and suitable for use by men and women. If you find it, snatch it. Immediately.

Mediterranean Neroli starts with a very big dose of Neroli. This is a great summer fragrance, citrusy, clean, elegant, masculine. This was an immediate love for me, since I love the smell of neroli, and the quality is great. After the top notes, I do smell salt (although it's not on the notes listed), which brings an instant feel of being right by the sea on some mediterranean beach smelling the salty air. I'm wearing this today, in 35 C and it is perfect.

I ordered 3 bottles before they discontinued this b*** and was my signature scent for years. ANd I am finishing the last bottle now. Every spray is like a pain and last drop of heaven. I am so mad at you Zegna. You created perfection just to take it away. No it is nothing like those lame tom ford Neroli's, this is another league like kids trying to play in NBA and now i find nothing remotely similar to this.

Absolutely divine. Got it a few years ago, when it was discontinued with a huge discount. This is more spicy than Neroli Portofino but really well made. It feels natural, well blended, projects really well and lasts long. It is so sad that Zegna left Estee Lauder group so the whole Essenze line got discontinued. Oud, Bergamot and Iris were amazing. I will miss it when I finish the bottle.

It's really smells nice, everytime I wear this i always got compliments. Nice mix of floral, i also noticed slight of herbal notes, however it may sound weird but i smell hint of a white sugar. Edit: I also observed smell of a white grape juice.

Love it. I like Neroli Portofino and this one is similiar in notes but more fresh, more intensive. When you are 50 and remenber the energy you have in your 20's that the difference between NP and this one.

I like this EDP but it definitely smells like some cleaning products (of high quality though). Update (04/12/25): The more I tried it, the more I started to fall in love with it!

Clean, fresh, green, citrusy, smoky and masculine. Easily my favourite neroli fragrance in the market.

Gorgeous neroli... lasts about an hour if that's your type of thing.
