Scilly Neroli

By the editors · 2 min readLemon and petitgrain open with a clean, slightly bitter citrus edge — petitgrain's woody-green character giving the opening structure rather than simple brightness. The combination reads as crisp and dry from the first moments.
Neroli and orange blossom take over the heart, the two related materials reinforcing each other — orange blossom bringing honeyed indolic warmth while neroli stays cooler and more aromatic. The pairing creates a white floral heart with real depth.
Ambergris and patchouli anchor the drydown with an animalic, slightly earthy warmth. Patchouli here is subtle, lending texture rather than dominating. The overall arc moves from airy citrus through honeyed florals into a quietly animalic, resinous finish.
