Which Should You Buy?
BDK's Villa Néroli is a creamy, inviting neroli that manages to be both fresh and warm. While some find its dry down a bit heavy on the vanilla and ambroxan, making it less 'freshie' than expected, many adore its luxurious, comforting evolution. It’s a beautifully blended scent with a distinctive character.
This 2005 original is a cult classic for a reason: a fresh, clean floral that just works. Its recent reformulation, however, means it's not quite the beast it once was, leading to a love-it-or-hate-it divide among long-time fans.
