Guerlain Néroli Outrenoir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Thierry Wasser and Delphine Jelk. Néroli Outrenoir opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Grapefruit, and Petitgrain, settles into a heart of Smoke, Earthy, Neroli, and Orange Blossom, and dries down to a base of Oakmoss, Vanilla, Benzoin, and Myrrh. Guerlain's Néroli Outrenoir carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Divisive yet adored, Néroli Outrenoir is a fascinating journey. It's a smoky, earthy black tea with a bright citrus kick, often likened to luxury hotel lobbies, though some find it too sweet or simply too subtle for the price.

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 Outrenoir opens with a vibrant, zesty burst of bergamot and tangerine, quickly softened by the delicate, slightly soapy aroma of neroli and orange blossom. This bright start deepens into a sophisticated heart where robust black tea blends seamlessly with subtle smoky and earthy undertones. The dry-down is a comforting embrace of creamy vanilla, warm benzoin, and a hint of myrrh, creating a smooth and elegant finish.
