Tomboy Neroli 65

My experience: Neroli is not my fave and there’s a LOT of it in most fragrances nowadays. Tom Ford NeroliPortofino is not pleasant and was the reason I was put off by Neroli. But this house has incorporated this note into a light airy fresh scent that I really like. I was surprised at the low marks but this is not offensive to me. And everyone has their preferences but it is not, in my opinion, such a terrible scent. I do gravitate toward my faves of this house but BRAVO Parle Moi de Parfum for making a lovely neroli I can include in my growing collection🥰💐

I love this fragrance. For me, it leans masculine certainly. Great fresh neroli opening. And then a woodsy ambery musky base which I smell for hours. Feels modern, but uses a great classic note (neroli). Feels sexy, I’d say. It’s not overly complex, but smells very well done. Not a strange niche scent. Can be used anytime or anywhere you’d use Bleu de Chanel, which is effectively anytime anywhere. If not for the price, Tomboy Neroli would be huge, I suspect.

This is the perfect unisex, neroli/orange blossom, slightly soapy summer time scent. I prefer this to TF Neroli Portofino as Tomboy Neroli is more delicate. This is perfect if you live somewhere where it is very hot and humid during the summer. As I mentioned, I find there to be a soapy note which gives this fragrance a clean vibe.

A soft breeze in an orange grove. This is a super airy and fresh scent centered around orange blossom. The neroli here isn't sharp or pungent, but pillow soft like a cloud. This fragrance does a Dr Jekyll Mr Hyde act depending on the weather. If you overspray (because it's airy) it smells like an orange Starburst candy. In the extreme heat (I hike and work out in 100° degree temps) it reveals a hidden musk animal that's lurking below and gets strongly animalic on my skin. If it contains amber (which I don't get from it) it's a clean white amber. At room temperature or below, it's more soapy fresh and behaves like an orange blossom detergent. Similar musk on my skin to PDM Galloway. Very relaxing and interesting scent, with sleeping musk monster lurking deep that will come out in the high heat 🐊 😄 Interesting stuff which I wasn't sure about initially, but after a few wearings, I really dig it. Scent 7.5/10 Performance 6.3/10 Update: I raised my score because I reach for this a lot in the heat. It seems to have a cooling effect on my skin.

A distant cousin of gentle fluidity silver and a relative to dunhill icon I tested 4 or 5 from this house and what I found out is that they make tremendous fragrances The only issue that is very obvious with all their creations is the performance Sadly it’s a deal breaker to me The only exception I give my weak scents is if they are something out of this world which these are not I really enjoyed it while it lasted almost no projection or sillage If it was a lot cheaper I could’ve considered buying it
