Maison Crivelli Neroli Nasimba is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Paul Guerlain. Neroli Nasimba opens with Mandarin, Pink Pepper, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Petitgrain, Neroli, and Orange Blossom, and dries down to a base of Leather, Vetiver, and Labdanum. Maison Crivelli's Neroli Nasimba carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you - this isn't your average fresh neroli. Maison Crivelli's Neroli Nasimba is a polarising, avant-garde take on a classic, serving up a dominant leather accord that some adore and others find utterly unwearable. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but undeniably interesting.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall
Also Works:
Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its distinctive leather-forward profile, even when paired with fresh notes, makes it a daring choice for the office, though some find it perfectly professional. It shines brightest in dressier settings or on a date, where its unique character can truly make an impression, and is generally too sophisticated for casual daily wear.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a sharp, almost metallic burst of mandarin and pink pepper, spiced by cardamom. This quickly transitions into a cleaner, greener heart of neroli, orange blossom, and petitgrain. The true star, however, is the rugged leather base, deepened by labdanum and grounding vetiver, creating an arid, smoky, and textural floral that's still surprisingly bright.
