Cheeky cologne
Creativity is nice and all, but when it comes to the neroli theme there seems to be a golden rule: you stick to the format and don’t mess around too much.
On the surface Cap Neroli stays nicely within the boundaries of a classic cologne. A grainy citrus opening that turns into a fresh blossom and then slowly fades out. Basically all parts of the (bitter) orange tree are captured, as you would expect.
A few interesting tweaks were applied, though, without really breaking the neroli laws. There is a full-bodied base to this perfume, giving it both depth and longevity. But most of all, there is a significant dose of jasmin and ylang in here. They are present right from the start, first to take the edge off the sharp herbaceousness and later to give a real boost to the blossomy effect - very nice.
In short, Parfums de Nicolaï treated the classic cologne formula with respect without blindly following the standard recipe. A cheeky summer gem!
