Neroli ad Astra 19.1

Neroli Ad Astra is a sparkling and sophisticated freshie - like the ultimate clean girl all grown up. It’s the scent you might wear on a blindingly hot day and feel like you’re the breath of fresh air. It is one of my go-to fragrances for the summer when I just want to smell fresh and put-together. The sleeper agent in this blend is the geranium which amplifies a citrus zing, takes the edge off of the jasmine, and blends so smoothly with the neroli. There is a starchy clean base in the dry down, and though it has ingredients of some skin scents, I would consider this more of a floral freshie. There is very little sweetness to it and leans a tad green/sharp at first spray. Unlike other freshies, the notes smell authentic and do not give me synthetic ingredient vibes. This is like the refined older sister of Creed Virgin Island Water or even Liis Studied, though Ad Astra is definitely more white floral-powered. It is also ridiculously well priced for such an authentic smelling, long lasting fragrance. This is a perfume that is super underrated and under the radar in my opinion. If you want to smell summery fresh and clean but unlike anyone else, this might be it for you.

fresh, luminous, green, clean, white flowers, citrousy, slightly fruity, cosy musk in the drydown, complex instant delight, summer in a bottle, uplifting - not quite ad astra, to the stars, but to a sunny spot overlooking the french riviera perfectly unisex but might be more to the taste of women the fragrance notes here seem to be incomplete, I smelled more notes - as did BloomPerfume - so I checked and here is what I found: Top Notes Pear, Mandarine, Pink pepper Heart Notes Agave, Neroli, Geranium Base notes Vetiver, Jasmine, Musk

The notes here are not accurate. The fragrance opens with bright neroli and a juicy pear. Agave gives it a bit more aquatic, tropical and juicy/wet feel. The heart is mainly about jasmine but the clean French type. In the dry down musk and a bit of Vetiver. I really like this. It is really different from most neroli based perfumes, which tend to be sharp-green (and which I also love). This is soft and bright and sparkly without any screechy edges.

A wonderful ethereal, delicate and luminous perfume. I love it, it is so beautiful, it is a particular perfume, and on summer days it is as if an intoxicating and delicate wind blows. It's like looking at the stars, with an ethereal trail that wraps around you... it's beautiful. Sillage: 6./10 Longevity: 7.5/10 Scent: 9.5/10 Overall: 9.5/10

PG19.1 Neroli ad Astra is a musky citrus formula with a green woody background. It starts with a soft clean mix of mandarin, neroli and geranium and gradually descends to dry powdery spiciness of Haiti vetiver and an exotic note of desert agave flower.
