Neroli Cologne

Czech & Speake Neroli Cologne is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1981. Neroli Cologne opens with Neroli and Orange, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, and dries down to a base of Ylang-Ylang. Czech & Speake's Neroli Cologne carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

A divisive neroli, pure and simple, but not in a bad way. Those who love the note will find their holy grail, while others might find it a bit too linear or sharp. Definitely test it on skin before committing to a full bottle.

Its fresh, light character and generally reported moderate projection make it suitable for casual wear and daily use. However, its often-criticised poor longevity means it's not ideal for long formal events or intimate dates.

About

This is a bright, sun-kissed citrus blast from the off, with sparkling neroli and juicy orange dominating. It then gently softens into a heart of sweet orange blossom, retaining that initial freshness but adding a touch more floral depth. The base rounds things out with a subtle, creamy ylang-ylang, preventing it from becoming too sharp but staying true to its clean, white floral character.
