suitable for sensitive souls, as I am one

That I can't relate much to "storms and roaring winds" I already mentioned in another comment.
The medical "Atlantic" ban was not issued without reason; strong winds are really not for me.
Which is why I will never get to know the beauty of Cornwall.

Not only the novels and their TV adaptations by Rosamunde Pilcher depict a wonderful region that I would surely enjoy with its vegetation. But what is not, is simply not.
I have to settle for "enjoyment from second hand" here.
Atkinsons has also created a truly vivid picture of this landscape with "The Contemporary Collection - Scilly Neroli."
The Scilly Islands belong to Cornwall, and therefore I can also travel there effortlessly through a scent sample.

Immediately after the first spray, this Atlantic freshness reveals itself: I see the lead-gray sea with the white dancing wave crests right in front of me.
The illusion is so perfect that I am tempted to wipe the fine mist of the spraying spray from my glasses so that I can see and experience the beaches and the nature shaken by the eternal wind more clearly.
For not only does the freshness of the Atlantic show up quickly; the fresh citrus scent of lemons and petitgrain announces itself immediately and envelops me in a distinct Mediterranean flair.
Here, the proximity to the Gulf Stream is evident: the southern vegetation has spread and thus impressively dominates the climate.
So, the warmth of neroli and the wonderful orange blossoms are completely natural here.
Everything fits together beautifully and paints the scent picture of a summer day on the coast of Cornwall. Just as I always imagine it.
The light and scent of the Atlantic become more golden and also softer through generous doses of amber and my "darling" patchouli!
They take a bit of the sharpness off the almost stormy freshness of the sea breeze and make this scent composition harmonious and rounded.
Thus, "Scilly Neroli" also gives me a vivid impression of a landscape that I will never be able to visit.
That makes this scent very likable to me.

Longevity and sillage correspond to a typical English eau de toilette: fresh and very lively, it envelops me with the fruity-vibrant coolness of the Atlantic.
Atkinsons has succeeded with "The Contemporary Collection - Scilly Neroli" in painting a so-called "seascape" with fragrance notes.
It is worth dedicating oneself to this if you are not such a cold-sensitive person like me.

Where Sand and Sky Meet the Sea

Ah......SCILLY NEROLI....When I stumbled upon you a few weeks ago on the shelf at Douglas, I had no idea what would soon connect us :-)
First of all: The perception of a fragrance is - as we all know - 100% subjective and deeply emotional. And there is always the question: do I really want to smell like this? Is this ME?
Since I am a fan of everything orange (Neroli, orange blossoms, bergamot, etc....), the bottle immediately caught my eye - the price did too, hahaaaa :-)
But first, just sniffing costs nothing, and to be honest, I didn't expect anything great. So I quickly sprayed it on a test strip and my wrist.... and I thought at first: okay, nice and fresh! The lemon, petitgrain, and sea spray hit me right away, and I was satisfied.
Once outside, after a few minutes, I lifted my arm to brush a strand of hair from my face - and then it struck me like lightning. There they were: the memories, emotions, etc., that the right fragrance can evoke in the best case :-)
I thought: what smells so good here???? I couldn't stop sniffing myself (the people around me must have thought: she's lost it).
Neroli and orange blossom absolute unfolded their splendor, but the top notes were still perceptible. Suddenly, a kind of creamy freshness emerged, catapulting me back to the summer of 1976. Vacation in Gran Canaria with my parents. I was 5 then, and I could smell the hot sand of the Maspalomas dunes, the sea in the distance, and the sunscreen that my mom had applied to me back then.
By then, I knew: shit, this is going to be an expensive fun, because SCILLY would not let me go :-)
I don't know which of the components fascinates me exactly - maybe it's everything together.
Later, it smells like a sun-warmed terry towel that you wrap yourself in. So it doesn't smell like terry - but somehow cozy warm. A towel that lay in the hot sand, with dried sea salt and remnants of sunscreen.
We don't need to talk about the bottle, it's very elegant and beautiful. Just something special, just like the fragrance. I think SCILLY is absolutely not mainstream. ATKINSONS has wonderfully managed to capture sun, sand, and sea in a bottle.
After my sniffing session at Douglas, I ordered a sample from ALZD to test SCILLY for a whole day. My opinion has only become more solidified.
The only negative is the longevity; unfortunately, it fades quickly. Given the high price, that's really a shame. But it's worth the money to me because I feel completely comfortable with SCILLY.
In really warm weather, it will surely unfold even more beautifully.

Dana Scully in Bikini

Scilly Neroli.
I must admit that I have tremendous difficulty pronouncing the name of this fragrance correctly, as I always end up saying something else instead.
Because I either keep saying Silly Neroli, which would mean silly Neroli, or…

… when I hear Scilly, I think of Scully. So, Gillian Anderson as FBI agent Dana Scully, whom I had a huge crush on when I watched The X-Files in the 90s as a teenager (and later as a young adult…). I had tons of pictures of her, wallpapers, desktop icons,… um… possibly some more inappropriate ones,… um… well… and everything was saved on many floppy disks and later CDs (as I said, the 90s, there were no DVDs, USB sticks, or anything like that :D).

But let’s get to the fragrance. From the fragrance pyramid, it sounds like a lovely summer scent that possibly has something special about it with the sea breeze, something that might remind one of the ocean…

The scent:
Oh, the citrusy scent smells very natural and also very pleasant. It is citrusy, but not too sour. Perhaps that’s what the sea breeze refers to. Because everything seems to be very finely misted, just like splashing water from waves, and when you see the name sea breeze, the brain automatically associates the scent with beautiful vacation spots by the sea. Even though you can’t really smell the sea breeze here.
You can already smell the namesake neroli on a light, woody base (even though no wood is specified).
To the base comes a dark sweet amber note, which indeed complements the warm citrus notes beautifully.

The sillage and longevity:
The projection is unfortunately only average, so you should definitely spray your clothes heavily to make the scent detectable to others, which only lasts for a few hours anyway.
On me, the scent lasted about six hours, although after that time it was quite weak.

The bottle:
The bottle is flat and has a thick glass bottom, on which the name of the fragrance is written. On the front, the emblem with the brand name, logo, and fragrance name is placed in a round indentation. The cap looks like a trapezoidal woven basket. A very beautiful bottle.

Scilly Neroli. Scully. Sea breeze. Ocean… now I imagine Dana Scully in a bikini. And I’ve seen many, many such pictures of her and… ahem… let’s leave it at that… :D

The scent is a lovely, both citrusy and gently warm summer fragrance that can be worn on many occasions in spring and summer, except for going out, but only because it is so weak; otherwise, it would be suitable for that as well.
Because, as mentioned, the citrus notes are not sour but rather pleasant, which is further enhanced in the base by the lovely amber.

Even though you can use the scent here, it is nicely suited for vacation, especially as mentioned by the lake or even better by the sea. It is certainly unisex, but I have the feeling that it somehow suits men better.

I think everyone should definitely give this fragrance a try.

Despite the Spray, Clear View

I read that you come from Sicily,
like one half of my family.

But reading is an art,
not really high on my list of favorites.

Still, you are a special Neroli refresher,
far from the citrusy floor cleaner.

A mix of Azzaro L'eau & the classic 4711,
with a British accent, never hitting the 12.

Clean after the shower, fresh at 30 degrees,
you may be simple, but you never really seem bland.

High Quality, that's how they describe you in modern terms,
I simply say: cool stuff!

The backbone of patchouli hardly appears for me,
I quickly run to reapply.

What the spray is supposed to be remains rather unclear,
maybe a lemon in the mist?!

Greener & more distinctive than other high-end Neroli fragrances,
at a bargain price, surely nothing but a traitor.

This summer, you'll stay a secret tip,
if you don't hold back, some might soon weep for you.

Bottle: bright yellow & nice
Sillage & longevity: slightly above average for comparable Neroli freshies - 3-4 hours is still short.

Conclusion: a nice one! It certainly doesn't reinvent the summer wheel, but it offers a decent, refreshing Neroli performance for vacation & midsummer!
