Nerolia Vetiver Harvest

Nerolia Vetiver Harvest is my kind of neroli! Bright, crisp, delicate, sweetened by the most delicious, gooey, syrupy sweet, natural smelling honey! I almost feel like it should be called differently, to put more emphasis on the note of honey, because honey is the star note in Nerolia Vetiver Harvest edition! Neroli is more in the background. The opening is straight up sweet, decadent, floral honey. The delicious honey melts into the bitter neroli flower and the combination of these two notes creates an intoxicating bittersweet juice. Almost smelling like mimosa... Don’t get much of the vetiver mentioned and I am not bothered in the slightest, vetiver is not really my favourite note. I know that this is might sound silly to some, but this is what I was expecting an older release of Guerlain’s, Nettare di Sole to smell like: deep, rich, warm, sweet honey with some floral notes and solar brightness! I am so happy to own a 125 ml bottle of Nerolia Vetiver Harvest since I have recently found out that it was limited edition for 2023! My new favourite honey+neroli scent in my collection! And possibly, my all time favourite Aqua Allegoria...sorry Mandarin Basilic for betraying you, but this is a fantastic gourmand floral, right up my alley!! For an Aqua Allegoria scent, Nerolia Vetiver has a nice projection and very good longevity, for about 10 hours on clothing! Performs like an EDP on me! So impressed and so in love with this! So underrated! Edit: 20.05.2024 I decided to get a back up bottle of Nerolia Vetiver Harvest until it disappears entirely from all the retailers. Hands down is my all time favourite from all the Allegorias ever created.

As expected this is very sweet when first sprayed, but immediately after the floral neroli takes over. As a huge fan of neroli I was pretty sure I was going to like this one. However, but didn't expect to like it quite this much. The juxtaposition between the sweet honey and woody/citrusy vetiver is intoxicating. This is a solid love for me, and I'm so, so glad that I got the bottle. It's fascinating to me that a neroli perfume could actually achieve beast mode but, for me, this provides just that. 12-14 hours later I am still very much getting the three primary notes, and the complexity hasn't diminished all that much. I can count the number of fragrances I own that maintain that level of complexity over that period of time on one hand, out of dozens of bottles. This is an unapologetically floral fragrance. I wouldn't recommend it to anybody who doesn't love neroli. But, if you also like a honey note, this is definitely worth a try. I have many times toyed with buying fragrances dominated by honey, sweet hay, and similar notes, but I always shied away because it was never balanced in the way that I wanted. And while sweet florals are not always my thing, this has just the right combo. For me, this is the perfect spring evening event fragrance, though it could definitely be worn lately during the day and be absolutely fine. As someone who enjoys very few gourmand fragrances and is hugely picky about florals, I suggest people who are looking for something complex try this out. You might just find a surprise love, as I did.

This so good! This warm gooey. Candy smell done right. Warm dry dust pollen effect toward dry down. The vetiver lil earthy powdery green when mixed with honey; slight distilled vetiver; tiny moments when i smell honey make vetiver moist and wet fresh soil. This perfume at times is very sweet. Eventually the strong musc tame honey. Musc is fresh clean. Nerolia balance the honey. Nerolia Is bright and has faint citric effect. Dry down seem virile from vetiver woodines. Vetiver start green then dry down to wood. High quality vetiver, it develop thru wear. Wow! Dry down honey tone down into wood, sweet wood. Honey cook away. High quality honey, it develop like a rollercoaster ride then crash away dry down. At dry down this perfume smell fresh clean, fresh linen or fresh garment, super clean smell. This work well in muggy, humid, rainy weather, maybe hot days. Day two: Fresh soap clean white towels with buttery effect. In background deep rich amber; slight gourmand amber. Slight animalic. The musc and honey make it animalic.I smell the pollen on the nerolia, the greeness. Very floral at beginning.

I LOVE THIS!! This scent simply makes me so happy and reminds me of a nice, light, sunny day. No, actually, when I smell this, I feel like a starving, lost hummingbird that somehow found its way to a untouched field of blooming, ripe honeysuckles. DO YOU GET THE VISION?? I don't usually like sweet scents, but for me, this perfume isn't sweet in a nauseating way. Rather, the sweetness feels very fitting and natural. Well, it makes sense. This is honey after all! I want to smell like this forever!!
