Néroli Plein Sud

The main reason for buying NPS: with this perfume, it is like you have three, and the 3rd lasts for 8-10 hours or so. This is a lovely perfume with an eternal dry down, but it has a "difficult" start during the first half hour. But you'll learn to love NPS: this one is a real craft, contrary to the undue qualifications of it being "simplistic". It is complex, difficult to some even. I think it is for trained noses. ■ The opening is bluntly overwhelming, and might last half an hour or so. So, if you would typically try this standing up at the busy counter in the department store, without getting a sample to take home, you'd most probably dislike it. That is what happened to me as well. But when someone that didnt like this complex perfume, wanted to get rid of it, and suggested it to me, I looked up a forgotten sample I still had in a drawer, and I was competely mesmerised. I bought the big 200ml bottle from him: the best of 2024. That means: after the overwhelming first half hour. In fact, I have now been wearing it for four days on a row, and I begin to like this challenge of the first half hour. Every time it is different. It doesnt make me sneeze (and I am very asthmatic and allergic), but you dont know what is happening to your nose. It is a kind of bewildering experience, like going in the roller coaster despite dreading it. I have to sneeze and have to grasp for air while smelling Les Extraits by Guerlain (especially the rose and jasmin), not in the case of NPS! Every new day I discover new notes. So, NPS is not for the people that go for the immediate olfactory grafitication: the latter is there only after two hours or so, at least in my case. ■ After half an hour it changes to an extent I have hardly ever noticed a perfume transforming itself. In this middle stage of the wear, you'd smell a bitter neroli, the reason to give it the name, I guess, but after all there is not so much neroli about this perfume. Moreover, it has nothing to do with neroli outrenoir. ■ Then the dry down: it is ambiguous and lovely, and eternal, and in fact the very, very best of this perfume. Buy it for these 8-10 hours after you spray it on. It is always around you, like a shirt, without being obnoxious. Most perfumes have wonderful beginnings, and then quickly fizzle out into oblivion (like my beloved Iris Torrefié), but with NPS it is very, very much the other way around! I typically spray it on the back of my hand while working, and I bring my hand to my nose at least 10 times an hour, and every time I smell something different, which I think is really a craft to realise. I sometimes even tend to smell mint (is it even there, or does this scent alter my perception??) I lived in Morocco, and this perfume is the only one that captures the daily smells of the cook cooking for us, or a walk in the food souk, with spices piled up in conic forms in yellow and ocre tints. In fact, during the dry down (8-10 hours easily in my case), people sitting next to you smell a different perfume every time you move. "Did you put on something different after desert?" Now, that is quite something inexplainable for an alleged simplistic scent, isnt it? Tonight I wore it during a dinner, and it is discrete enough for that purpose. But: when dinner is at 20h, put the perfume on around tea time! Not in the car 15 minutes before you arrive! It is lovely to notice it changing while you change clothes, and it being ready for dinner when you are about to go there... To summarise: I dont recognise the quoted hotel soap notes, or whatsoever... they dry down is, and stays complex and simply enchanting. ■ There is however a dark pattern in three Guerlain perfumes I love(d), and that only lasted four years or so: Rose Nacrée du Désert, I loved it, and pffffuw it was "supprimé". Then Lui, which became Oeillet Pourpre, pfffuw, "supprimé" (not in the UK yet, cause they are more used to carnation scents, my guess is, but since Brexit, the Channel prevents it getting it into my closet). I am afraid a "quicky" awaits me too with NPS. The supprimés had the same complexity, being that there are spices in it most people dislike, like nutmeg, cloves, kurkuma: they are bitter and have a musty, stale, earthy aftertase. Me too, I hate all three of them! I avoid all food containing these spices (the downside of living in Morocco, indeed, or even in Groningen in the North of the Netherlands where I am from, where they put cloves in all thinkable meats and sausages, they even sprinkle nutmeg on haricots verts and cauliflower...) The disliked spices make these perfumes complex however, like the smelly fish sauce in an oriental dish, the trassie in an Indonesian bumbu, and the unpleasant fish stock in the Noilly Prat Sauce with scallops. On the other hand, this very same feature simply seems to make NPS "difficult" for others. NPS is indeed compliqué. I wonder therefore if NPS is gonna be here for more than 3 or 4 years. L'art et la matière is not so nichy after all ... I want a perfume that I can wear for life, like my old mum, that is now 90, and in 1971 chose No. 19 by Chanel, which is still behind her ears, well, hearing devices now. They go into their 54th year together .... I hope my prayers will be heared by Guerlain, but I seem to have a bad track record for a sustainable, long lived relation with one single signature perfume. When the love with a capricious partner is finally there, she disappears like lightning from the shelves... And yeah, EUR 465 for 200 ml is quite something, but... in this case with the long dry down, it is more bearable. Neroli outrenoir lasts 2 or 3 hours or so, and when you want to use it to refresh yourself on sweaty summer days, the quantities of scent you need makes you sweat even more: you see the bottle emptying while the sun climbes to the highest point. Not the case for NPS, but I dont think it is a "cooling", refreshing perfume, despite what it suggests. It is more for the evening, than for a hot afternoon. You can wear it very well during winter too. I wonder if it is suitable for humid climates. For the latter, neroli outrenoir seems the better choice. Lots of perfumes pretend to capture the orient, or at least the Maghreb, and it often ends up in a kitsch pastiche. Not with NPS: this really reminds me of daily life in Morocco, where I loved to live. So, Get a sample. (Guerlain: please make people buy them for EUR 5 or so, and put them on the mail, and prevent them from a degrading descent to the extorting decant usurpers on the web that in fact do your marketing you should have mirobolant and largely sufficient budgets for). Spray it on. Prepare for that first roller coaster half hour (I see that that as a challenge now, as I wrote). Glide into the eternal dry down that uplifts your mood, and that is just enchanting to me. Be patient, good things take time. 10/10 Blind buy: HELL NO!

Néroli Plein Sud is a divine and long lasting neroli - it’s sunny, soft, powdery, luxuriously soapy, clean and oily. It’s unisex, as both myself and my boyfriend enjoy wearing it together. The longevity is insane (which is rare for a fresh, citric smelling fragrance) and it stays on clothes for days. This is due to there being no bergamot nor any kind of citrus, but replaced with fresh juicy root ginger and turmeric with the combination of vetiver. This gives it that zen-like lemongrass zesty juicy brightness but it’s also aromatic and softy fuzzy like the white towel at a spa. I love this Japanese bamboo woody lemongrass style neroli, it’s like a luxury lathered-up soap. As the tang of the ginger fades, the neroli and Tunisian orange blossom comes through more and the entire fragrance becomes more soapy-powdery-soft with almost Chanel-style DNA. This stage now reminds me of the baby product that my mum used on me in Spain called Agua de Colonia by Nenuco. I’m not sure if I’m ready to smell like a clean Spanish baby again. Another way to think about it, it has that traditional barbershop scent. Luckily I don’t particularly detect the cinnamon, so it’s balanced in the base for grounding with the gentlest amount of golden warmth. As a side note, Guerlain has 2 other neroli’s, so let’s quickly compare; Néroli Outrenoir is slightly more tea-leaf green which makes it both sharper, bitter and greener in comparison. Nerolia Vetiver on the other hand is the most similar but it’s even more greener, like freshly cut flower stems and is subsequently lighter, more watery and with much weaker longevity. I’m summery; Néroli Plein Sud is hugely expensive yes, but it has the quality, luxury and longevity to warrant it. If you’re looking for a soapy-freshie that lasts and would be perfect on your Riviera/Azores/Balearic summer holiday then this is it. It’s so fresh and clean but translucent and airy - it captures the sunshine-filled fresh air of the warmly dry herbaceous Mediterranean coast. My favourite all time neroli will always be the one from Profumum Roma but Néroli Plein Sud comes a close second.

I love neroli and orange blossom, but I find fragrances with these notes to be too sweet for me to wear. Here, the brilliance is the ginger that takes these heady flowers and grounds them. It doesn’t scream “ginger,” but it does feel very earthy. (I don’t think anyone around me would think, “Oh, ginger,” but if you dislike dry ginger powder, you might have a problem until it dries down.) I like ginger in fragrance and this is by far the best I have come aross. The turmeric sounded kind of weird, but I can’t isolate it. If cinnamon is here, it isn’t what I typically would think of. It’s dry, and I can’t really isolate it, either. This is such a great balance—a match made in heaven. I love these floral notes, and I’m thrilled that I finally found a way I can wear them without a dizzying headache. Hooray! Note that it performs well, as it should. My husband complemented me after a 12 hour wear. (I couldn’t smell it at that point.) I also have Neroli Outrenoir and they are NOT redundant. (I love that one, too. Baked tea.) Neroli Plein Sud is spicy, earthy and grounded while still being floral and “grapey” orange blossom. Yes, I spent an obscene amount, but Guerlain’s quality just can’t be denied. **Note: Gert.keen has done a beautiful, accurate deep dive review. Do read it. She is spot on and more knowledgeable. Also, I highly agree with her that this is NOT a blind buy, and must be tried on skin. It isn’t a designer, mass appealing scent. It might require a little time before the obsession kicks in.

So immediately upon smelling this fragrance I can tell it's a superior neroli/white floral/edc type fragrance. This is not your average 4711 type thing, although in essence it kinda is but elevated to the best it can be. Also clever in that the citrus is subbed for that ginger/turmeric which to me although not overt, adds a lot to this fragrance. I don't know if there's something more substantial under there in a jasmine? (not listed here) Very good natural neroli/orange blossom materials? or just a skillfully created accord? Superior base materials? perhaps all of the above? I don't know but it's fantastic, from start to finish and it's powerful as anything!! For those after that EDC freshness, with a spicy, juicy edge and a soaring, smooth, gorgeous white floral perfume which is not too green or waxy it smells sweet and enduring but finally which lasts and evolves on skin, look no further. I've not really been tempted to buy anything new and certainly didn't think it would be a nuevo Guerlain white floral cologne but this is one of the best I can recall smelling. Superb!

Lasts all day long! It has such a strong scent that it can cover a room in an hour from the first spray. It opens with a spicy ginger and turmeric that awakens all the senses, gradually it turns into a gentle and elegant soapy scent. Some people say it should not be in the L'Art & La Matière collection because of its pleasantness but I think it is completely worthy because the type of soap it brings is not something any brand or Master perfumer can do. I love it, simply because I like sophistication. Fresh, pleasant but with highlights and the spicy ginger, turmeric reminds me a lot of the dishes my mother used to cook when I was a child. 10 out of 10! I will upgrade to the 200ml size after I finish this lovely 100ml version. If Delphine Jelk could see this review, please send my thanks for her!

Please ignore the negative reviews. Neroli Plein Sud smells like you've just stepped out of a stately spa after receiving a ceremonial massage on a marble table. The opening is green, floral, and honeyed which ultimately gives way to a sparkly clean sandalwood and vetiver combo. What I love most about NPS is that it does not have those sharp and annoying citrus or musk notes that are usually accompanied with neroli or orange blossom blends. The sillage is stunning, and the neroli actually hangs around to give this an overall freshness that last for hours. Though technically a "freshie" I feel as though this can be worn year round, particularly with the woodsy drydown. Those complaining about the price on this likely were not Guerlain collectors to begin with...

This is one of the best things I've ever put my nose on. I always loved orange blossom and when it dries down, this is the most authentic orange blossom scent I've found yet. It's clean, it's soft, it lasts... I need it. Also not at all to come at people for their taste, everyone's different and I respect that. However I don't really understand people calling this and other (mostly fresh) fragrances unoriginal. I mean... I'm not sure what one could expect from a fresh summer fragrance, it often comes hand in hand with citrus on top and a woody base. And out of the ocean of summer fragrances out there this one feels a lot more focused and distinctive to me.

I accidentally tried it last week at Neiman Marcus, it didnt hit me right there, and right away. it was 20 mins later, that i knew i had have it. Its a beast mode for me, and it lasts for days on your clothes. It evolves and change s beautifully on you. This is my favorite neroli fragrance right now. It has the right amount of sweetness, orange blossom and the green lush neroli. Its soapy in sweet way/neroli. I LOVE IT. you have let it sit on you. This is great for summer, hot weather. I didnt care for the other Neroli Outneir, i cant stomach the teas in it. Beautiful summer vacation fragrance... south of France

This is a stunning fragrance. I have fallen in love with this one for sure. The warmth from the spices and woods adds a very exotic intoxicating element that counters well the floral freshness of the orange blossom. The spices (turmeric, cinnamon, clove) takes this Neroli fragrance to a near all-season versatility, with a gorgeous opening you’ll want to keep experiencing again and again. I get a gentle hint of smoky woods into the dry down; almost incense-like, accompanied by the ever-present fresh clean florals. Quality is high and the blend is masterful.

This was a strong like at first wearing. However, now that I've spent a full summer with it, it's one of my favorite fragrances in my collection. Period. It's soapy but spicy, deep but fresh, light and almost leathery. Despite the lackluster reviews this gets, it's one of Guerlain's more impressive fresh fragrances overall. I love the house, and this is a masterpiece. Performance is amazing, the vibe is unique, and man what a great wearing experience. In a sea of neroli frags, this one stakes out it's own corner of the genre. Hats off Delphine. 9.5/10

This may be my favourite fragrance, ever. I’ve just finished my first bottle and it t has generated more compliments and conversations than anything I’ve ever worn. I love this range, of course it is expensive but if you see the value in something, you can justify the cost. Unusual for a neroli scent in that it isn’t very soapy.. the spices and woods create a complex blend that is long lasting and projects well... very well! I’ve literally been stopped by strangers in the street! Excellent quality too and beautiful packaging. This is very special.

This tells a completely different story on skin than it does on a testing strip. On paper, it comes across as linear and one dimensional. On skin, it transforms into something far more intricate and refined. Neroli remains the undeniable star, but the white florals are softened by a gently sweet orange blossom and a hint of turmeric that weaves through the middle, adding an unexpected depth that’s almost imperceptible on paper. The performance is exceptional, arguably best in class and eclipsing the obvious alternatives that need not be named.

A neroli that last more than 5 minutes? Take my money! This is an interesting take on a done to death note. The reference neroli imo is 4711/Neroli Portofino. I have the forte version as I’ve always found the normal version too feminine. So instead of going green or aquatic with neroli, this takes it in a completely different and uncharted territory. Spices and woods accompany the main star. Personally the performance was a big factor in me buying this. Did I mention it’s a neroli scent that lasts more than 5 minutes?

Neroli is one of my favourite notes in a perfume and I am so happy that Guerlain came with a spicy neroli fragrance that is beautiful it has Moroccan neroli and ginger notes. This is a beautiful fragrance. It fills up the entire room just with few spray and the longitivity is really good. It lasts for about 12 to 14 hours on me. I smell it in the Dubai airport, and I could not stop myself from buying the 200 mL of this bottle. It is so so good & so gorgeous, and I’m so happy to have it in my collection. ❤️

This was a dangerous choice, tested on my skin. Fell in love. Wanted something fresh, sharp and crispy. Vetiver usually links to masculine audience but I so much want at least one, without smelling like a bloke 😂 Beast performance, it still lingers on my coat ( 3 days ago ) - loved everything from how loud it starts and how subtle ( yet powerful) it develops on skin hours later. I will buy full bottle. Shop assistant recommended this as first choice when I explained what I am looking for. Success!

I love it. I dreaded testing this as all the notes pointed to love and I didnt want love because then I will want!!! And boy oh boy do I want! Testing it during a miserably cool Scottish summertime - oh how I shall love to wear this in Autumn! The neroli with the spices are simply beautiful and it is so different from any other neroli or orange influenced scent that I have. This is a love - how unfortunate the price is so high but I shall not rest until it is mine. Truly a work of art.

I am absolutely smitten by this fragrance. Gave it several passes at NM because I was swayed by not so gentle reviews. So I had to make sure. And each time I tried it, I couldn't stop smelling my clothes. Wonderful longevity that delights for a long time. Invigorating but comforting dry down and a bit spicy start. I love ginger notes in perfumes, so maybe that's why I like it from start to finish. Has nostalgic, dreamy qualities for me.

Just got it. Clean, orangey neroli and delicate spices and woods. It smells unique to me, aside from having neroli in it(duh), but doesnt smell like any other Neroli frag I own. Neroli is a favorite note of mine. The turmeric adds an earthy, almost woody ou-esque vibe that really sets off the soapy neroli. As usual, the reviews did nothing for the fragrance. 9/10 and a big fan of Jelk

This is what I have been looking for. A very unusual Neroli fragrance. It opens with a spicy and turmeric note, after a few hours it becomes fresher and the fresh Neroli character becomes more evident. A high quality and very impressive Neroli scent for special occasions. If Neroli Oranger describes a true Neroli scent, Neroli Plein Sud is the definition of luxury and expensiveness.

You really have to wear it to appreciate it. It changes and evolves in unexpected ways, but continually reminds me of the image and feeling of flying over warm sands that lift the smell of fresh neroli up into the sky. Really, I bought it because it captured my heart. It is lovely, soaring and free. Totally appropriate for men or women, as the florals are fresh rather than sweet.

Neroli plein sud enchanted me from the beginning with the sweet, sunny and bright Moroccan orange blossom, along with the effervescent spiciness of ginger contrasting with the earthy side of turmeric. After all this comes the soapy neroli together with sandalwood, giving it depth and sensuality without overpowering the freshness. Wonderful! A Spa in the desert.

Not the typical fresh neroli. I would categorize this as warm, spicy and the most remarkable note on my skin is sandalwood. Lasts more than 12h. Can smell the sandalwood when in the shower the next day. Beautiful complex spice and earthy perfume. Test on skin and let it evolve a complete day before purchasing. Completely unisex.

Every new Guerlain on fragrantica: "This is expensive and garbage. Nothing Guerlain has produced since 1970 is worth anything. Also, everything they made that was good I got for 20 bucks. This sucks." Meanwhile, me after smelling them: "This is beautiful." This fragrance is beautiful.

Gorgeous, spicy citrus! If you are looking for a fresh perfume that lasts- you have found it! I also find this very clean smelling, like a finely milled soap. There are too many amazing spices for me to say it is soapy, more clean and fresh with personality!

I cannot even explain the notes. I guess I never smelled anything line this before. Such a lovely scent. omg. Love from first sniff, and I am SO happy I tried it despite some of these reviews... Wore it in winter, and now it's a proper spring - fantastic.

I don’t understand the hate on this one. This is why I try the fragrances myself and not let the reviews influence my decision. This is absolutely awesome. Lasts a long time and I have never smelled neroli done this way. This is art.

Ughh this one is just gorgeous. I love love how it opens, so bright and fresh but not clean or green, just refined neroli and spices. I can already tell I’m going to go through my sample fast and be left wanting more....

Might be my favorite fragrance of all time. Smells like the incense section at a head shop. Lasts forever on clothes, insane for a Neroli fragrance. Has an old money feel to it, just truly phenomenal

The scent is similar to Néroli Outrenoir, but leaning more towards masculine because of the woody and earthy base note. If you're looking for a manly neroli perfume, this is it.

A Majestic neroli scent. smells like old money. Imagine Acqua De Parma Sandalo with neroli and less sandal. 10/10 scent & performance.

I bought a 200 ml bottle of this. I did not make enough to pay taxes last year. That should tell you how good this is

This is my favorite Neroli scent. It does not have the green note that the other Neroli and many other nerolis have.

Some really helpful reviews of an unreleased fragrance. As usual.

Soapy and slightly spicy neroli that gives me butterflies.

This is it. The Holy Grail of Neroli and Orange Blossom.

beautiful neroli fragrance with a beast performance

Beautiful and clean i mean wow wow wow

smells like incense before you burn it

Néroli plain Sud (2 ml. Vial test from the brand/ gift with purchase) My current interest of neroli / orange blossom leads me to this. The light scent. It find this beautiful and a great retake on Neroli fragrance. The concept of spicy neroli ain’t new. Something like YSL Saharien have done this before. And concept of spicy note to extend the freshness of citrus have been well known. (SML Bizzaria or Olfactive Studio Still life) is known for using this technique. The soapy orange blossom is also well known (eau de Givenchy or Prada Fleur de Oranger) Are great example of this. Neroli plain sud on my skin go almost instant soapy, citrus soap. However, the interesting take is how there is a hot spicy undertone at the back. Tumeric Powder, Rory andauthentic. Is kind of supporting the scent with green tone recalls Davan or ginger. It is slight adjusted the scent make it more interesting. I don’t mind this as first impression. But now it is surely not full bottle worthy yet. But it close, the concept of Soapy neroli / orange flower. Get me going. I am just no sure will the scent will be kept up with time. As you know, citrus and citrus flower have tedency to spoil first. Or condense and lost element easily, with neroli orange blossom fragrance dominant. I am unsure, with it just end up being turmeric paste. As it seems quite powdery. But it is good take tho. Reminds of soap skin the walk thought spice bazaar. To be retest a few time. Now it is a like for me as spice lover. ===== Extension 1 on nov 11, 23.57 As fragrance develop to base note, it is less citrusy and move to soft sandalwood with spicy, still remains soft freshness and clean skin. I will stick with my bottle of SML Bizzaria as I found they both are similar profile, SML Bizzaria are less soapy but the citrus quality stronger and beauty orange blossom is in same concentration with Neroli Plein Sud. But this is good offering from Guerlain, just not my kind of orange blossom.. Drop from assetment

I received a sample of Néroli Plein Sud with my birthday Guerlain; the helpful online sales associate helped my husband choose some great samples this time; I think she was charmed that he spoke French with her on the phone. I would call NPS a unisex-leaning-feminine fragrance, but the earthy turmeric and vetiver keep the orange blossom from smelling too much like cleaning products. NPS imparts a clean, spa-like, elegant minimalist vibe, thanks to the cinnamon and woods, and a distinct creaminess that I can describe only as "expensive-smelling." It is really quite lovely, but I am satisfied with the less-expensive Guerlains, thank goodness, because the L'Art et la Matière line is un petit peu trop cher. As this dries down, I'm getting that strange but not at all unpleasant accord that reminds me of Band-Aids. I smell this in L'Heure Bleue, a perfume I love unreservedly, so I don't mean to sound insulting. It must be part of the Guerlainade; I can smell it in L'Après l'Ondée. I assumed for a time that it must be clove or cassis, but now I'm not so sure.

So far this comes off as quite basic for the price. I feel like you could get a neroli similar to this or even better from other brands for way less, and from this same brand itself. Quality is good to me and I do like the sparkling ginger. But it's not doing enough for me right now to warrant buying. I have tons of neroli scents. I am glad the orange blossom doesn't take over and go into an overly creamy direction which to my nose can often make a fragrance smell muddled and overpower the other notes. Come dry down the sandalwood comes out and it's quite nice. Was hoping for some vetiver but I don't get much. But Guerlain already has 3 scents centered around neroli and vetiver from the Aqua Allegoria line. I won't buy. It's good just not $400 good. Update: After a full day with my sample I like this more. The Dry Down with the sandalwood in combination with some sweetness is nice. So I changed my "ok" rating to a like. Still won't buy it.

When I first smelled it, I wasn't taken with it. Smelling again now months later, I find it not only very pleasant but overall quite good. Neroli Plein Sud is a "dirtied" neroli, in the sense that the ginger and tumeric combine into a woody-earthy-soil-spicy accord, which tempers the otherwise billowy soapy white floral and gives a sensation which is overall oddly chypre-like (bitter, mildly resinous, enveloping). That said, though chypres are my favourite genre of fragrance, I don't like all of them. I find Neroli Plein Sud smells, at times, quite skeletal as early iterations of the genre did. It's woody-bony in smell, dry, and perhaps a little austere. Smells like a VERY high quality soap in which genuine thought has gone into the fragrance, but it's soapy and shower-like all the same. Something for bath time, perhaps?

My nose didn't detect differentiated spices on the initial whiff, but goodness yes, arrival of the neroli and orange blossom made their presence in a riot of fragrance. An olfactory whirlwind with even a metallic note oddly screeching out. A good 20 minutes later, the secondary soapiness of the mix has dispersed, and the true and pure middle notes persist with vigor. Longevity and sillage are both leaning enormous. Vetiver is coming through more than sandalwood, but I may need to wait a few hours for the final dry down, the only reliable go/no-go criteria for me of whether I truly love a scent as I rarely reapply mid-day or later for a forte strength, which for me this is.

It’s very nice. Strong burst of neroli and spices, followed by a brief period of slightly raspy wood. This half hour leans masculine, but this stage fades quickly and becomes a warm, spiced neroli that lasts for hours.....a ‘winter neroli’. I like how this doesn’t rely wholly on orange blossom as so many neroli-centered scents tend to do. The orange blossom is there but not in your face and the spices to a good job of cutting the sweetness. Absolutely no gourmand feeling here either..... I prefer this over neroli outrenoir and I feel like it’s different from any other Guerlain scents so it’s definitely worth a try.

As somebody already said, this is a very beautiful neroli fragrance, it is long lasting and also quite projecting, but it is nothing groundbreaking, you can find this scent profile in thousands of perfumes and eaux de cologne. For this reason, I believe it is very, outrageously overpriced and I think it is not worth the money. L' Art et la Matiere line is super pricey and I'd rather spend this money on other more unique fragrances in the line.

This smells nice, but I’m shocked no one has compared it to Profumum Roma’s Neroli...it’s literally a lighter version of that...a somewhat spicy neroli...Profumum’s is a bit more bold and masculine...which I prefer...this one is more unisex...I do feel it’s redundant to own both...quality through and through, though Edit: I would even say this leans feminine...don’t know what people are talking about calling this masculine

This is a nice neroli fragrance, distinctive and spicy in the opening, turning pleasantly sweet and smoky as it dries down. The vetiver is second to the neroli, but ultimately retains the typical sharpness and hair spray quality of the orange blossom, which I particularly like as it confers this sort of cleanliness to it. Completely unisex with good longevity.

Lovely soapy opening. The neroli and turmeric ginger combo was beautiful. Alas the dry down was very body odor like. Some might like that though. To me it fell from a love to a like because of that. Lasted over seven hrs on skin and over twelve on clothing.

It smells strongly like a pure & natural Tunisian Neroli with transparent light naunces of honey Lightly spiced by ginger and turmeric. I see this release suits the natural Neroli lovers. To my personal taste I prefer Neroli Outernoir over this. Cheers.

A gorgeous, crisp and airy neroli that has just the right amount of sweet, green, and soapy facets. Bright, airy, and perfect for warm weather; but even then it’s almost impossible to justify the price for such a simple composition
