Néroli Botanica

This is a smell of late Friday evening in a popular local restaurant that is full of Balzac-age ladies from the HR department. I believe most readers would immediately find associations with this scene and olfactory experience they had before. The composition carries such a big slice of cultural facts and cliches that it’s both hilarious and terrifying at the same time. It’s the smell of maturity, workplace romance, and a tough life path. You feel the jingle of jewelry, a very specific strict, yet flirting, style, the accent, and deep feminine voice, phrases with undertones and an unexplainable attraction to the person. You just heard «Heeey, how are you, honeeey?" and already canceled all plans for the Friday night with a desire to spend some time in a bar with her. And this fragrance itself is just a cherry on top for this whole personality, that glues everything together and makes it feel like a movie character. Imagine Caroline from Bright Days Ahead - she’s the fragrance Is it a good fragrance? No, it’s not just a good fragrance - it’s the Sauvage of a well-respected lady. Not by cultural status, but charisma. These two share the same "nothing serious, just my fun" vibe, but for different gender and generation. The first spray of Neroli Botanica puts you out from a girly-girl league to a powerful and desired woman who owns people's attention with nonchalant dominance. It's a smell of heartbreaker, and I wouldn't even be mad to become her victim...

Neroli Botanica blooms the way a memory does when you least expect it: sudden, tender, piercing. True neroli. And by that I mean true, not candied, not screeched into soap, rising first in a silken sigh delicate and green. That very trembling green-blooded heart of the flower itself, all petitgrain-ish sharpness softened by dew. Splendid, superb, just everything. There’s a waltz here: green tea and jasmine sambac twirling, petals and dried leaves in an effortless dance. Each twist of the wrist brings a different angle: sometimes the neroli smiles sweetly, sometimes it tilts slightly herbal, slightly bitter, as if the sunlight changed direction. Beneath it, a soft grounding: driftwood warmth, sun-bleached but echoing forest. A hand-carved warmth, almost imperceptible, but necessary. Then! Just as you exhale, turn comes a pulse. A spicy flicker. Maybe ghostly clove, maybe citrus rind clinging to its oils. Subtle but thrilling. It stirs everything awake, threading life into the green. Neroli Botanica has that exact alchemy perfumers chase but rarely pin down: balance without boredom, purity without sterility. I didn’t expect to be moved; Neroli is so often betrayed by perfumery’s heavy hands. But Neroli Botanica, oh does it just touch that hidden nerve—soft, precise, very much alive.

I have a "problem" and never gives a chance to any "new" niche house, i need much more than just a "good looking bottle". But the house of Essential is a crucialy different, somehow reminds me of FM, but keep in mind that's not easy to invent the "hot water" in 2025. But this house gives unconventional quality in scents, and completely presentation is on minimalistic way, which i respect. Just a few words about Neroli Botanica, This stuff is sooo good for hot summer days, smells just like the name said, floral/green(herbal), so bright, refreshing and uplifting, neroli is not boring soapy like Neroli Portofino and similar fragrances, it's PERFECTLY balanced. Anne Filipo is obviously master in creating green florals. Wearing for enjoying, get yourself a piece of this summer masterpiece and you'll be ready for hotest days.

W-O-W!!!! This is so incredibly NATURAL smelling— a genuine neroli / orange blossom experience that immediately transports you to a sunny, cloudless day in an orange grove with no one but contented bumblebees for company 🙌 😌 This is pure quality for an unbelievable price point! The orange blossom and neroli take center stage here, but combined with the jasmine, this becomes a white floral dream!! I ordered a travel size to test longevity and projection before committing to the big bottle, and have been impressed with both aspects. Neroli Botanica has absolutely bowled me over with its beauty, quality and affordability. This is the kind of fragrant gem that makes me twirl with happiness!

بانطباع أولي رائحة العطر جميلة وهادئة ويصلح للاستخدام في جميع الفصول تغلب على العطر رائحة نوتة الياسمين ، لذا أرى أنه يميل إلى الجانب النسائي لكنه يصلح للجنسين بسبب تداخل رائحة زهرة البرتقال ورائحة اللبان العطر ثابت على الملابس والجلد لمدة 4-5 ساعات مع فوحان جيد لمدة ساعة ونصف لا يصلح للشراء العمياني بسبب ميوله للجانب النسائي First impression Beautiful and quite scent for all seasons Jasmine note is clearly obvious , so it is more feminine to me and because of that blind buy is not safe But it can be considered as a unisex perfume when the orange blossom and benzoin take a role The perfume lasts on skin and clothes around 4-5 H With average projection at the first 1/30 H

Neroli Botanica: I picture it worn on a seaside stroll along the promenade, shirt slightly open, sunglasses on, heading toward a upscale restaurant. It is a charismatic fragrance that doesn't seek to be noticed, yet subtly imposes itself through its presence. The neroli is soft and warm, comforting, inspiring confidence and drawing people in without ever feeling aggressive. The notes continuously return to the nose, creating a solar and luminous fragrance that is perfectly balanced. Soft, luminous and reassuring, it is at once discreet and incisive, an omnipresent and memorable olfactive signature.

When I smelled this I wish I was a woman in her 50s to be able to wear it. It's so beautiful and well rounded, but so very feminine. The floral notes are there even after 12 hours (from a very close distance, but still), and the perfume just evolves to be more and more beautiful as it dries down. If you're a confident and elegant woman, who has nothing to prove to anyone anymore, wear this! It signals everything that a strong aristocrat would be. I absolutely love it. And for the price it's an absolute steal. I was expecting Amouage price tag, and then saw it was 80 euros for 100ml :)

This perfume delivers an incredible performance. It’s so good that I’d gently set aside every other orange blossom fragrance I’ve loved so far. Though it’s called “Neroli” what I really get is a beautiful blend of orange blossom, neroli, and jasmine. It smells natural and incredibly long-lasting; it’s been over 12 hours and I can still detect it clearly. What makes it even better is that it’s truly unisex, with absolutely no sweetness. It’s pure, clean, and consistent from start to finish. I’m genuinely in awe.

Disclaimer!! I am a neroli and orange blossom fan! I bought a 10 ml bottle to try and it took me a while to open because I wasnt actually excited about yet another neroli fragrance. I was wrong to wait. Neroli Botanica is lush...beautifully fragrant and floral and most suited to spring and summer but there is more... The woody base is exquisite and suits the colder autumn months. This is such a versatile scent...very nice indeed. FB purchase imminent!

Nothing groundbreaking, but beautifully done. It feels fresh, light, and summery, yet surprisingly rounded and complex, with excellent longevity and sillage for such an airy neroli. Completely unisex (right in the sweet spot of true gender-neutral) and very herbal and slightly spicy. It almost reminds me of Guerlain Nerolia Vetiver, but with its own modern, clean twist. Really well crafted.

Pure neroli and orange blossom, just what I wanted from this fragrance. A more green, fresh take on neroli and orange blossom that isn't sweet, just floral. This scent makes me feel happy, fresh and clean and it lasts a good while on my skin and even longer on clothes. Gotta be mindful when sparying this, as it is quite a strong scent for my nose.

It's unique not in the notes but in the feelings it triggers, or the connotations. It smells fresh, clean like an old lady's house, not strong but has a classy presence. Intimate to skin, I can't observe a sillage. Perfect layering material. Overprice for something to be layered with other frangances. However, quite likeable.

Really lovely balance of dewy solar white florals and bright fresh pepper and ginger, but all around softer and easier to wear indoors than many others within this genre. Those who enjoy white florals, subtle fresh fragrances, and supremely natural and well constructed fragrances should try Néroli Botanica.

Scent is almost identical but concentration is 1/4 of Profumum Roma „Orangea“. The Best citrus / floral on earth (for me :)) And this one is also no different. Despite it is quite subtle , it has a 4-5 h longevity on skin ( if I am not going to noseblind) Overall Very good value for price.

This is a great citrus/neroli/woody/herbal scent....Usually I dont like plain neroli fragrances but this is indeed a masterpiece. Two perfumes that stand out for me in this category is Eau des Sens and this. Highly Suggested. It has the appropriate sillage and power to last.

this is how i imagine a truly unisex smell. it's so fresh, a bit peppery at first with a hint of jasmine, and at the end it gets a little warmer, yet still keeps its zest. i can smell it on myself all day; people say they don't notice it at all, but i prefer it that way.

Really beautiful floral perfume. Ideal for spring and summer. It was a blind buy but I also have fig infusion from the same brand and the same perfumer. The whole brand is worth the price.

Neroli Botanica is an uplifting, happy fragrance for warm weather, full of sun. It will remind me of the beautiful time in Athens and the island of Agistri this spring in April 2026.

A very natural, very woody vetiver-y actually leaning masculine because of it neroli. Surprisingly dark from that Vetiver actually, has some aspects of Nuit de Megeve or Dark Lord

One of the best Neroli fragrances! The ginger/elemi/vetiver gives it a dusty spicy touch which I absolutely love! Leans more masculine in my opinion. LOVE IT!

Simple but amazing neroli fragrance for summer and spring. So uplifting, and seems to have decent performance for a neroli scent.

Most unique, fresh and very green neroli scent. Not for everyone, but who appreciates it will be addicted

Monster performance for a neroli scent. Very good price for this quality of scent. Great for spring.

It's incredible floral neroli scent. It turned out I like jasmine's note. Simple but lovely.

Can't wait to sample this - I saw white florals in the notes, and I immediately intrigued

Airy Orange Flower (Anne Flipo, 2024) Scentrack: Dan Fontaine - Lujon Although called Neroli Botanica, this composition is more than just a neroli fragrance. Neroli is traditionally produced by steam distillation of orange blossom. Thus, Master Anne Flipo recreates orange blossom's “whole” olfactory spectrum. The composition starts with green and spicy, which morphs quickly, but gradually to sweet and honeyed orange blossom. The orange blossom is slightly dirty and indolic, perfectly complemented with a jasmine flower. The floral aspects of the composition possess soft spicy nuances of elemi. A soft vetiver layer, hidden beneath this white symphony, gives the needed woody touch. Overall, Neroli Botanica is floral, sweet, and airy. Spring and summer optimistic whiteness. Like a unisex-leaning restrained version of APOM Pour Homme. Nothing groundbreaking, but exceptionally polite and easy to wear. More on Scentimentalwords

Wonderful white floral with a perfect balance of fresh/spiciness and creamy softness. Inexplicable artificial grape note sometimes, quickly loses the pepper and spice in the drydown, and a little safer than I usually like, but perfect for any occasion and delightfully feminine without being too cloying or sweet. Not something I would buy a full bottle of, but I will use every last drop of my sample. Associations: sun on white bedsheets, French gardens, bath with flowers Wear to: art museums, afternoon picnic, watching Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette

Overall very similar to Hermes Twilly ginger edition, but nicer. I clearly get neroli, orange blossom and ginger, and I feel like some yellow florals were thrown in here as well, as it's almost 'pollen-y' at times. Has that dryer sheet scent I usually associate with neroli/ginger. It's a bit dry in normal weather, but in 30*C+ weather as today it's very pleasant. Smelling fresh & fuzzy, like a pile of laundered and ironed, carefully folded clothes, next to a bouquet of white flowers. Very nice.

This is a very pleasant perfume. I got a compliment right on the first day I used this perfume and the reaction was like "Mhmmmm what are you wearing". It gives a very chill, positive, pleasant vibe. The projection is not that great, you can smell it only if you are near but the longevity is not that bad. I could still smell it on clothes the day after and on skin even after 4-5 hours. With the price of this perfume I am considering buying a full bottle as well. Overall rating 6.5/10

I have just bought a 10 ml sprayer and I really like it. I do not find particularly green or woody. To me is sweet, creamy, a bit lactonic even, with a very prominent jasmin and with a little touch of green which makes it very interesting and prevents it to get too sweet. It reminds me a bit of Ashore by Amouage and Jardin de l 'Orangerie by Dries van Noten. Overall, I consider it to be more spring / summer appropriate, or for a warmer weather in general.

Unisex fragrance, maybe leaning slight feminine, with a neroli blast in a similar vein to neroli portofino but with a laundry like vibe. Solid fragrance, but I prefer other neroli fragrances as this one has a dry sheet feel and I prefer mine to have a woods or citrus mix. I prefer the opening as it is neroli centered, with the dry down it turns into a powdery laundry scent that isn't my cup of tea. The performance is pretty good for a neroli fragrance.

I wore this in the past and it didn't impress me. But I took the sample on a trip to the seaside (just to take something small and to finish up the samples that weren't that great) and it absolutely bloomed. It smells of orange blossom, not neroli, in the most intoxicating way. It is soooo delicious and heady, like smelling the actual flower on the tree. So all it needs is some heat and humidity and it changes in a wonderful way. I really love it now

On my skin, the opening presents a juicy and sweet orange, very bright and almost spicy from black pepper, 15 minutes in it settles down to a pretty sweet green neroli and jasmine fragrance and slightly woody in the base, an uplifting scent that brightens your day. Very linear but simple done well. Dries down very quickly to a lovely skin scent. Longevity 6 hrs. Projection 7/10. Overall 7.5/10

Even though I rated this as more feminine, I think it would be amazing on a guy as well. It’s just a more typical feminine smelling fragrance as this is ultra pretty. It is so fresh and summery. Indeed citrusy. Suitable for someone who likes modern architecture. Not complex - just a simple very likable white floral citrus perfume.

At first it smells more like an expensive hand cream, but after a while it turns into a bouquet of the white flowers mentioned above. I don't really like white flowers, so I'm a bit biased, but in this case... Even I have to admit, it’s a great perfume because of its balance, freshness and overall very natural feel.

Néroli Botanica by Essential Parfums is more interesting than usual neroli colognes. It's more about white flowers than citrus, which makes it feel more feminine than unisex. It's simple but also complex—not your usual scent. If you're looking for something different in a neroli perfume, this one is worth trying.

Just got it today as a blind buy. Floral green neroli with a touch of orange Blossom makes it sweet a little bit and hint of jasmine makes it a little bit modern. 45% masculine / 55% Feminine.. Overall 5.5/10 Just write ( neroli botanica) on YouTube and you will get a full review of it.

I absolutely love this. Like a fizzing orange sherbet, with a heady white floral note. It’s refreshing and uplifting. Perfect for high summer. This wasn’t one I had terribly high expectations from, but it delivers over and above.

This is the scent of the bar soap and the detergent my mom used when I was a child, for this reason this is the epitome of the clean scent to me. I love how long it last on my skin, almost a whole day in the office.

Simple, but natural smelling. A little green so it doesn't get too perfumy. I can also smell the leafs. Not indolic. Wearable and easy, linear. It lasts forever on clothes

its strictly feminine imho beautiful neroli, but not for man, also, smelled better neroli, like neroli nasimba <3 only sample

Smells like old ladies. And like a drugstore where they mix their own medicines. But in a lovely way

I like this! It smells like neroli fabric softener! This is linear with decent performance.

This reminds me a lot of rain kissed leaves by BBW but more sophisticated and indholic

If someone likes neroli, they can take it blindly. I am not a fan of this note, but I appreciate the quite good quality of this composition. Neroli Botanica is a simple scent, there is nothing groundbreaking about it, but fans of white floral bitterness will like it. The beginning is definitely feminine, the duo of bitter neroli and pure jasmine stands out - a duo well known from many perfumes intended for women. It is worth emphasizing that neroli smells very natural here. After a short while, the scent goes in a more androgynous direction, ginger, elemi and probably pepper appear, which is not mentioned in the notes, but I can feel the presence of this spicy spice. Vetiver plays a big role in this scent in a very earthy approach. Over time, the bitter neroli remains mainly present throughout the whole time with an earthy, garden note of vetiver and slightly spicy accents in the background. Most Essential Parfums perfumes have poor longevity, but Neroli Botanica deserves praise, because in this case it is quite good. It lasts quite long and has a decent enough projection. It is a pity that so often good parameters have scents that I don't like, because it is hard for me to like Neroli Botanica. For me, scents with a dominant note of neroli are repulsive, they sound too toilet and soapy. It is no different in this case. I will not like this scent, but I recommend it to fans of the subject. 6/10

Soapy, clean, floral... A lot of Neroli. The Neroli is very obvious in the top notes, which I am not a big fan of. At first, it is strong, clean, white powdery, and somewhat fresh; on the dry-down, it improves a lot and gets better. The middle notes are still floral, but you can start to smell the spiciness. The base notes are the best here; they are spicy and have earthy tones. Performance is quite good and it is a bit more on the intimate side. I think this perfume is ok, Neroli fans will like it and it is original, with quality materials and an interesting base profile. 3/5

This is very strongly an orange blossom fragrance, NOT a neroli one. It's that honeyed, sweet, almost grape juice-like orange blossom. It opens very assertively, then calms down a bit and makes way for the jasmine which is a softer white floral, but then the orange blossom comes roaring back. If you like Marfa by Memo, you'll likely enjoy this and frankly you can't beat the price. I do have two from this house (Bois Imperial and Rose Magnetique) but I'll pass on this one personally.

Am I the only one who smells ylang ylang? It's like a mix of the latter with vetiver and some neroli. Or maybe the turmeric mixed with the neroli produces the ylang smell? It reminds me of Lilanur Vetiver Mousson. It it good? Yes. The quality is definitely there. It's interesting, natural-smelling and it lasts well on clothes. Will I buy it? No. Whether it's ylang ylang or turmeric, something in here just doesn't suit me.

this opens very soapy, which is not particularly special. i don't get vetiver at all and i am sensitive to it. i don't get neroli until the drydown. at some point the soapiness disappears and this is just neroli and its lovely. a nice citrus not intense and sharp like it sometimes comes off to me. i will try again just for the drydown. but at this point its not a full bottle for me. i think i would prefer on a man.

Very nice, smells natural. Great performance too. Neroli Botanica is strong jasmine with neroli. The Botanica part of the name refers to this white floral. I find jasmine a super feminine note, so I gave the sample to the wife and rated this as a women's perfume.
