Saharienne

I stumbled upon this fragrance at Saphora’s in the mall and couldn’t resist buying it. However, my girlfriend suggested waiting and getting the larger bottle for a better deal. I did, and I’m thrilled to be the proud owner of it now. This fragrance exudes a crisp and refreshing vibe, making it perfect for a sunny Sunday brunch or simply relaxing. If you’re a fan of Neroli fragrances that aren’t overpowering but addictive enough to make people want to catch a whiff of your scent, this is a must-try. The fragrance begins with a citrusy aroma that gradually transitions into a floral and clean scent on my skin. It evokes the memory of Allspice, that timeless scent you faintly recall from your childhood. Its unisex nature makes it versatile for various occasions. On my skin, it radiates beautifully, creating a pleasant bubble of fragrance that garners compliments if I’m within arm’s reach of someone. It’s the perfect fragrance to let them discover you. I recommend trying it on a warmer day. The heat enhances the fragrance, making it more noticeable and captivating.

Saharienne is a pleasant, clean neroli fragrance with an underlying musk and hints of something green. The scent is very inoffensive and perfect for warm days, indoors and outdoors. Picture a freshly laundered linen hanging in a garden of white flowers and foliage in summer. This provides a slightly more feminine take on neroli than ADP Colonia Essenza and TF Neroli Portofino, cutting the citrus and aromatic herbs, and replacing them with musk and green notes. Regardless, men and women can easily pull this off. Putting price into consideration, I would personally recommend Essenza, as it makes NP redundant, or Saharienne as an alternative if you favour musk. Smell: 8.5/10 Performance: 7/10 Presentation: 8/10 Value: 4/10 Overall: 7/10 EDIT: I realised 7/10 does not accurately reflect how much I like this perfume, considering this is now one of my favourites, and I bought it for an excellent price, I am bumping it up to a 9/10.

I tried this last Spring in France and I have no idea why, while I was there, I didn’t buy it. I am kicking myself for not having done so! I looooooove neroli and I love what Alberto Morillas creates so I am an absolute moron for not having purchased it on the spot!! I remember having several other fragrances I was trying on my skin that day but Saharienne stood out and on my way back home in the tramway, I got several stares from people...one gentleman was actually smiling (not in a perverted way) and I could see he enjoyed the scent... Anyway, I have yet to get a full bottle but this is a wonderful experience. Spring-y, soapy but in a floral way, not shampoo or baby powder-like, ethereal and yet strong and vibrant. Perfect for outdoors, perfect for weddings as well, and to me, very comforting and yet refreshing. ✨✨✨✨✨

Reviewing a decant from 2025. Saharienne was launched in 2015. Saharienne is a lovely aromatic citrus made for very hot weather. This opens with refreshing bergamot slightly bitter and peppery. The florals are fresh. I often have difficulty with some over enthusiastic neroli bombs but this is just the right amount tamed with jasmine and clary sage. The base is subtle vetiver and clean patchouli with white musk. I don't find it soapy. Simple but beautifully blended. More subtle and elegant than Neroli portofino. Fresher but perhaps not as beautiful as Neroli Amara. Quality- excellent Unisex Performance- average for a citrus fragrance An elegant sparkling citrus/floral. Quality Neroli perfectly blended to round out the harsh edges for those who have difficulty with this note. 8.0/10

Beautiful composition... It's discontinued here inn the Netherlands but found a bottle of 75ML for 100€. Perfect! It's a smoother and deeper Neroli Portofino profile, or even xerjoff Nio, where the Nio has a sharp opening, Neroli Portofino a cheaper Neroli and citruses... This one keeps every stage smooth, specially how they used the musk and vetiver is amazing, it keeps the Neroli from being to sharp or to floral. It's exactly how a unisex perfume should be executed. 10/10 for Neroli lovers! Performance is pretty solid 4-6 hours depending on the skin and weather. On clothes though (linen) it's at least 2 days with a decent projection. Always there...
