Eau de Néroli Doré

Eau de Néroli Doré is a cologne of great dosage. With great textural crunch, the neroli is luminous and sunny with an herbal breeze. Such a high dosage of neroli reveals a mesmerising greenery, and a bitter counterpoint of piquant herbs and greenery compliments neroli’s naturally soapy bitterness, delivering a unique take on an otherwise classical cologne ingredient. On one level, this reminds me of yellow Chartreuse with its intense green aroma and flavour, and yellow colour due an application of saffron. This is appropriate on two levels: the addition of saffron is found in Eau de Néroli Doré with its bittersweet leatheriness, and the bottle of both fragrance and liqueur maintain a beautiful off-yellow hue. Eau de Néroli Doré is a nouvelle style – a neoclassicism construction of cologne departing from the standard paradigm. Instead of loading the scent with modern functional musks to create a contemporary take on cologne-turned-substantial, Ellena instead stays true to neoclassicism in vibe and styling. This is a modern take on the citrus and herb scent: bitter, crunchy, tart, and salubrious – but beyond that it has a complexity of its shading, treated lightly here. The yellow orange cologne is intense and energetic: swirled on the olfactory canvas beautifully, then supported with a faux woody base. This dialogue between contrasts doesn’t contain an internal energy – but excitingly Eau de Néroli Doré is the scent of energy released. A blend of refinement and eroticism. Electrical, exciting, and certainly not brash. The scent is immersive, with its oily citrus slick well balanced with a spiced musk by the way of leather, cumin, and saffron – a quasi amber warmth against the cool bracing citrus. With its vintage vibe and certain arid dustiness (strikingly similar to the dusty quality of Mona di Orio’s fascinating Eau Absolue), this is Ellena’s denouement through cologne: by referencing the beginning, we start to see the end of this chapter in laconic, minimalistic, and transparent styling. It is apparent that the Ellena style has not changed. Ellena time and time again delivers vivacity that never blinds, a classicism that never ages, and an intellectual spirit and vigour that will continue to inspire. 5/5

This is such an elegant neroli themed cologne. I think this is a soft statement that there is beauty and value in visiting the past - remembering it - and sharing it. It's so subtle, refined, fluid and reminiscent of the mid 20th century style cologne and even earlier. I was so happy to catch a gentle, lightly indolic and barely perceptible civet note which is lightly veiled by saffron and bitter orange right from the get go. It was so surprising and delightful because it instantly made the true neroli note watery, clear and soft in this composition. That spare - very light handed note - juxtaposed to the bitter citrus makes the neroli somehow soft and fleeting instead of slightly sweet and opaque. It's light and pulpy and somehow very natural and wet ... even sensual. Add to that some shear and light throw-back fresh green notes like carrot, oregano & bay and it turns into a bag of super-subtle bitter/sweet/fresh contradictions that actually flow together and work well with each other. I don't base this on any fact but I think this a fragrance only someone who has nothing to lose can create. It could only be created by someone who wants to point out a specific beauty from their past that has somehow lost it's meaning and is no longer a part of the present vocabulary, but should at least be remembered. It is in my opinion a smile, a gift from Ellena's heart and I thank him for it.

This is not your typical cologne: spicy, dry, bitter. Someone further down described it as smelling "like a bottle of cologne smashed on sidewalk cement" and it does sometimes smell like that. But it's a strangely addictive scent to me. I had had my eye on it for a while: it's not often that saffron is used in an eau de cologne, so I was curious about it. As usually happens with my favourites, it wasn't "love at first sniff"; I initially couldn't tell whether I liked it or not. But as I wore it to figure out how I felt about it, it grew on me and now I can't imagine being without it. It really does what it set out to do: replicate the feeling of being immersed in orange blossoms, being impregnated by it, complete with a slightly sweaty feeling thanks to the spice note, nominally saffron but sometimes coming across as cardamom, sometimes cinnamon, or even cumin. And as such, there is a kinship with Eau d'Hermès and Eau Sauvage.

For me this opened off-puttingly bitter that I almost washed it off. I was testing this along with Rhubarbe Ecalarte and while I was distracted by that fragrance's lovely opening, I suddenly noticed a beautiful scent coming from the wrist where I sprayed Neroli Dore. What do you know, the bitter, almost scrubber calmed down to one of the loveliest neroli I've had the pleasure of smelling. The saffron and neroli work so well together, lifting and brightening each other without making the fragrance harsh. Eau de Neroli Dore is soft golden light in a bottle.
