Néroli à la Cardamome du Guatemala Chopard 2017

This perfume reminds me of my summer holidays in Southern Italy. This scent of oranges and neroli ... will immediately get in your nose and let you dream of large fields of orange trees. In addicion comes the spicy cardomome , a sensual game of contrasts. So now on if I want to remember this light und fresh feeling of Italy and holidays I will use this fantastic fragrance of Chopard.

This fragrance is made with a natural ingredients of an lasting character. The Neroli come from a sustainable source and is processed with the utmost respect for people and the environment. So I can use this fragrance even with a good conscience....absolut perfect!

The dark green lacquered leaves provide spicy shade, the vividly colored fruits still hang on the branches or are already gathered, lovingly collected in large baskets: it is the fragrant harvest time of the mandarins!
And it is also time to celebrate the annual "Mandarin Festival".
Their sun-aromatized scent lies fresh and fruity in the air and delights the senses; their fruits shine in the dark glossy foliage like rich golden orbs.
The whole place has already dressed up, almost the entire region is gathered here; they are just waiting for the fragrant honored guests.

Princess Nerola comes all the way from Sicily; she looks delightful again in her light, bright garment that dances around her delicate figure in the gentle fruity-aromatic breeze.
She appears so tender-floral, fresh, innocently sweet, radiant, and exceedingly lovely: just like the unique scent that surrounds her.
Neroli conquers hearts in a flash, smooths away worries, and relaxes in the hectic everyday life.
So it’s no wonder that everyone loves her!
The same goes for the fragile beauty named Orange Blossom Absolute: she is so pure white and yet so scent-intensely embracing and protective.
No one can resist her heartwarming charm for long!
As the two scent graces stand together, they remind me of the so-called "Princess Group" by the sculptor Johann Gottfried Schadow. It depicts the later Queen of Prussia, the still revered Luise, and her sister Friederike.
A sweet innocence surrounds these two sisters; the fragrant companions Neroli and Orange Blossom could be their likeness - just as they meet in the mandarin grove.
This relaxing yet invigorating fruity freshness receives a spicy cardamom kick; it too has come from across the sea.
Thus, they together ascend the small podium made of lightly fragrant light woods, which was specially erected in their honor among the mandarin trees.
A harmonious gathering of quiet yet very impressive scents has been initiated here; not a grand "summit meeting", but something beautiful and nice that radiates cheerfulness and well-being.

"Néroli à la Cardamome du Guatemala" tells me its little, charming "creation story".
We spend several hours together, and again and again, I am touched by this tenderness that lays over me like a fragrant cape.
Of course, I am biased: I have loved my wristwatch from this Geneva company for decades.
Perhaps that’s why I have been searching for a scent counterpart for almost as long, which I have not yet found.
Everything has been too powerful or too unremarkably ordinary for me to truly get excited.
With "Néroli à la Cardamome du Guatemala", I seem to have finally found a scent correspondence that I like.

Just right to accompany warm long summer days or to dispel gloomy moods.
A very special magic rests in this scent creation that simply touches.
A kind of divine magic of quiet tones!
