By the editors · 2 min readNeroli opens with a bright, honeyed citrus flash that quickly folds into a rooty, damp-earth vetiver line. The two top materials braid together, creating a green-woody accord that feels both sunlit and subterranean. Sandalwood arrives early and stays through the drya-down, its creamy lactones softening the vetiver’s bitter edge while amplifying the composition’s overall wood density. Oakmoss and myrrh build a cool, resinous forest-floor layer under the sandalwood, adding a faintly mineral, mushroom-like dampness. Ambergris lends a sheer, salty glow that lifts the base, stopping the darker resins from ever feeling heavy. Projection sits at arm’s length for six hours before relaxing into a quiet, moss-tinged skin scent that still throws the occasional vetiver spark.
