No surprise

I always liked the perfumes with Neroli as a base in summer, the penalty is its duration, this particular is very linear, but at all times has the seal of Atelier, good products and look natural.

The difference you notice with Neroli Portofino from T.Ford is that of T.F. is explosive output, but lasts 20 minutes, this does not have that explosion, but lasts much longer, taking into account that it is a neroli and citric.

Grand Néroli is a strange scent.

Grand Néroli has a familiar, natural smell I can’t quite place. It reminds me of an essential oil shop at a mall in Dallas I’ve been to, years ago, but not sure which oil(s) give it that smell. Seems very linear to me, and although it isn’t really unpleasant, it’s strange. I don’t think I want to smell like this. UPDATE: I am certainly not sure, but I suspect that strange smell might actually be what neroli smells like. Not bad, but still linear.

Am I missing something?

A few of the Atelier Cologne "concentrated colognes"--or whatever they are called--feature detectable neroli notes, so I gather that the creative team loves neroli. This particular entry, GRAND NEROLI, is obviously intended to be a virtual neroli soliflore--and it really is. I tried and tried to come up with some other note possibilities, but all I could detect was a greenish neroli. So maybe some green notes along with neroli? I thought.

The official notes include galbanum and moss, so that's the green. But there's also birch, vanilla, white amber (not even sure what that is...), and an opening blitz of citrus: lemon, petit grain, neroli, and bergamot.

To me, GRAND NEROLI smells like a fine neroli cologne, no more and no less. It's more refined than 4711, obviously, and less loud and penetrating than Tom Ford NEROLI PORTOFINO. So, yes, this is a good neroli cologne, but that's about it. I feel somehow that I am missing something when I see all of these rave ratings. I mean, folks: it's a neroli cologne, after all. How excited can I get?

Almost like Avon Herve Leger Femme minus the woody notes.

Neroli is one of my favorite notes. I really like it here in Grand Neroli because I find it soft and fresh with a hint of sweetness from the yummy vanilla. Interestingly the dry-down in Grand Neroli smells very much like the dry-down of the very affordable Avon Herve Leger Femme, minus the woody notes that HL has. GN is probably my 2nd favorite Atelier right next to Orange Sanguine.
