By the editors · 2 min readNeroli opens with a clean, honeyed-green citrus edge that quickly folds into a saturated gardenia heart. That gardenia accord is constructed as a double dose of the flower itself, so the creamy, lactonic white-petal density arrives fast and stays linear, buttressed by benzoin’s soft vanvanilla resin in the base. The benzoin doesn’t darken the composition; instead it acts like a clear syrup, extending the bloom’s sweetness while tamping down any potential indolic sharpness. On skin the scent holds a steady white-floral halo for hours, shifting only by growing slightly warmer and more ambery as the benzoin thickens. Projection stays polite, creating a low bubble of tropical creaminess that reads daytime-appropriate.
