By the editors · 2 min readNeroli opens with a bright, slightly bitter citrus character that quickly softens as ginger and black pepper introduce a warm, fresh-spicy energy. Orange blossom weaves through the heart, lending a subtle floral sweetness that balances the peppery heat. A dry, earthy base of vetiver and moss emerges over time, grounded by the creamy texture of sandalwood and a clean musky trail. The composition evolves from a sharp aromatic opening to a more subdued, woody-green dry-down with moderate projection. Wear time extends for several hours, settling close to the skin, suitable for casual daytime use in spring or fall weather.
