Essential Parfums Néroli Botanica is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Anne Flipo. Néroli Botanica opens with Pepper, Pink Pepper, Ginger, and Turmeric, settles into a heart of Neroli, Orange Blossom, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Benzoin. Essential Parfums's Néroli Botanica carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A divisive yet distinctive neroli. Plenty rave about its natural white floral freshness and impressive staying power, but some find it too sharp, soapy, or just a bit 'blah'. Definitely not a blind buy.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Néroli Botanica opens with a lively, peppery spark, thanks to ginger and pink pepper, underpinned by a hint of turmeric's earthiness. Soon after, a luxuriant heart of white florals emerges, with neroli and orange blossom taking centre stage, complemented by hints of jasmine. The dry down settles into a warm, creamy embrace of sandalwood and benzoin, with vetiver providing a subtle, grounding woody touch.
