Neroli

You would think it would be easy to find a true neroli soliflore out there but Profumum Roma Neroli is the only one I’ve found to capture the true scent of a blooming orange tree on a breezey summer afternoon. It’s like they fleshed out a gorgeous portrait of the whole tree, baking in the sun. The supporting notes of petitgrain and bigarade softly sharpen the formula on one end (treble) while myrrh deepens it on the other (bass). Squarely in the middle is gorgeous, realistic, marshmellowy orange blossom. I had a tiny sample and it lasted quite awhile because this is a rich, concentrated perfume. Nothing unique or complex here but it is an outstanding Neroli option if that’s what you are looking for. Edit: I heard that they changed the formula of this which I hope isn’t true. If it is then I would try Nicolai Neroli Intense for similar quality. Edit 2: I bought a few half-bottles of my favorite Profumum scents from someone on Ebay and they all came in stale, a little off in quality like they were years old. So I wound up using the Neroli as a bathroom air freshner at my office and let me tell you it was the most luxurious and effective room spray. I’ve never known anything to mask bad odor like this, not a trace of whatever was being covered up. But also not overpowering or chemical. Just 3 or 4 sprays toward the middle ceiling of the small powder room and the room smelled beautiful all day. Now I realize that $300 for 50ml of room spray is absurd, but man, you get what you pay for. Extraordinary. Edit 3: Back to a brand new bottle straight from the source. This thing will last me forever, it’s so rich. Arso and Olibanum are my other two favorites from this brand. Gotta keep Olibanum and Neroli out of sunlight because both will spoil rather quickly from the light. It must be the orange blossom absolute used in both fragrances.

This is a BIG, warm and round scent. It starts out with the most natural, sun drenched neroli you could imagine and then it slowly transitions over its many, many hours of performace into a more subdued, powdery neroli/orange juice combo. While this is happening, there is something in the background - something that i cant really identify as myrrh (but i guess must be?). This background makes itself known from time to time during the scents progression and it is not always pleasant. At times you get a whiff, under the citruses and white flowers, of something that can only be described as stale BO and at other times the same note only gives some counterpoint and depth to the scent, adds some low frequency to counter the citruses/flowers high frequencies, if you understand what i mean. Despite this, the scent is beautiful and strong. It lasts all day and quickly fills up a fairly large room. As always with Profvmvm Roma the atomizer is terrible and prone to breaking but if you are looking for the best performing citrus scent ever, look no further.

This has got to be one of the closest fragrances to capturing the real neroli fragrance. Love it. Its smells natural. I think Ive found a fab neroli fragrance. Its potent juice, not too sweet and truly unisex. I can imagine that some ladies might not find it sweet and soft enough to feel comfortable wearing. Its so fresh and zingy. The myrhh and orange flower really work well with it. I guess we can thank the myrhh for extending the longevity. I grow orange flower and you can detect it and I think it does a fine job of softening the edges of the neroli to create perfection. I cant wait to wear it on our rare warm days or night. Pricey juice but worth every penny.

Neroli is a criminally underrated perfume from the brand of Profumum Roma...in my opinion, the best in its class (neroli based)...this fragrance appears slept-on by both your everyday fragrance enthusiasts and also fans of the brand...barely hear anyone talk about it...on to the scent...as with most Profumum Roma frangrances, what you see is what you get...it blends a clean soapy neroli with a semi sweet orange blossom, a green petitgrain, a sharp orange peel w/ a soft resinous/soapy myrrh...the blend is bold, persistent, and quite unique...a gem for those keen enough to discover it

This perfume seems to have gotten stronger since I received it. Two sprays is plenty to last all day. There is a subtle complexity to this apparently linear scent, as different aspects of citrus/bitter orange appear throughout the day. As others have said, above all it is the naturalness of this perfume and this brand that impresses me. It's fascinating to reflect on what makes a scent smell nature as opposed to synthetic and why synthetic becomes irritating. I really enjoy this one.
