de Néroli Doré

by Jean-Claude Ellena

Hermès de Néroli Doré is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2016, created by Jean-Claude Ellena. de Néroli Doré opens with Bitter Orange, settles into a heart of Neroli, and dries down to a base of Saffron. Hermès's de Néroli Doré carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This one's a divisive old-school charmer. If you're after a classic, golden neroli with a sophisticated bitter edge and don't mind reapplying, it's a winner. But if poor longevity is a deal-breaker, or barbershop soap isn't your vibe, steer clear.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Its fresh, clean citrus and white floral accords make it suitable for casual and sport settings, being light and inoffensive. The weak performance means it won't project too much for office wear, but its traditional nature might be less fitting for a modern formal event.

About

A radiant burst of bitter orange greets you, instantly refreshing and invigorating. The heart quickly unfolds into a golden, honeyed neroli, warm and subtly floral with an almost waxy richness. A whisper of saffron in the base adds a dry, spicy warmth, preventing it from becoming overly sweet and giving it an elegant, contemplative depth. It’s a beautifully natural composition.
