Montale Holy Neroli is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Pierre Montale. Holy Neroli opens with Bergamot, Bitter Orange, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Cedar, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Vanilla. Montale's Holy Neroli carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This isn't your average fresh neroli. Holy Neroli starts bright but quickly warms into a rich, sweet, and surprisingly dense white floral. It's divisive, with some finding it a luxurious hotel lobby experience and others detecting baby wipes. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

While its initial freshness might suit the office, the fragrance quickly becomes warm, dense, and sweet, making it more appropriate for dates, casual outings, or even semi-formal events. Its potent projection and density mean it's too much for the gym or highly professional settings.

About

Holy Neroli opens with a luminous burst of neroli and zesty bitter orange, quickly settling into a prominent, almost creamy orange blossom. A backdrop of soft rose and earthy cedar emerges, eventually melting into a luscious, warm base of musk, amber, and vanilla. It's a heady white floral that manages to feel simultaneously clean and rich, far from a typical airy citrus.
