Neroli

by Nadeem Crowe

About

Neroli opens with a vibrant, fresh burst of neroli, orange blossom, and a green hint of marigold, underpinned by a zingy bergamot. This bright, clean prelude swiftly deepens into a more complex heart where the heady, almost narcotic presence of narcissus intertwines with a rich, inviting woodiness. The dry down settles into a soft, musky embrace, with earthy vetiver and subtle ambergris adding a sophisticated, slightly melancholic depth to the lingering florals and woods, creating an interesting contrast of sunshine and shadow.
