I love this elegant sophisticated citrus floral from BDK
This review was written originally for a sample vial of Villa Neroli that I bought from BDK with the 4 for $24 deal. This is the only one I would consider buying from the four I bought. The losers were Citrus Riviera, Nuit de Sable and Creme de Cuir. I recently purchased a full bottle of Villa Neroli from Jomashop for $140.

Villa Neroli is a beautiful citrus floral that supposedly evokes summer days in Capri. I am always cautious when I deal with citrus accords. It is very easy to veer into a synthetic citrus that resembles dishwashing fluids. No such concern here. Villa Neroli layers various lemon and bitter orange notes judiciously to create a wonderful fresh citrus smell.

The opening notes are lemon, neroli and petit grain. The combined accord is a sophisticated and elegant citrus, with little fruitiness. The transition to the heart notes is smooth, almost like the change in light as the day progresses. These middle notes are orange blossom absolute and rose, the former responsible for adjusting the light to a warmer, sweeter honeyed citrus. For those who may have forgotten, neroli and orange blossom absolute come from bitter orange flowers, though they are produced by steam distillation and solvent extraction respectively. The rose in the middle note is clearly perceptible, but it feels like a minor note under the genteel citrus accords. The base notes listed by the perfumer are vanilla, labdanum, patchouli and vetiver. I get the vanilla and labdanum, but the other two are lost in the soft harmony that prevails. If you prefer a citrus with a more dominant rose, I suggest Xerjoff Mefisto, a favorite of mine.

Villa Neroli shows excellent performance for a citrus floral. On my clothes, the citrus notes last for more than ten hours. The citrus floral notes last about six hours on my skin and the dry down for a few hours more. Sillage is also good for a few hours.

I am happy with my purchase of Villa Neroli, as It checks a lot of boxes for me. To summarize, Villa Neroli is a lovely citrus floral with a suave, urbane personality. The citrus notes manage to stay sophisticated and avoid the cheap hand soap vibe, which was a major determinant for my decision to buy this.

Not the neroli I was hoping for
So, this is not your soapy, effervescent neroli, which I love. My nose doesn’t really perceive neroli at all.

From the start I smell vanilla, amber, maybe labdanum with a hint of citrus.

Not long after, rose and orange blossom unintrusively make their presence known giving the vanilla/amber base a creamy floral vibe. This is my favorite phase of the fragrance and it almost made me love it, but after about an hour or two It fades to a powdery vanilla and labdanum.

The fragrance is well blended but the namesake just doesn’t shine here and that is what I was looking for.

Surrated
I discovered this perfume in the spring on boulevard Haussmann in Paris.

he was not one of those who particularly interested me, I did not know him but as I had discovered the carnal gray which was a disappointment, the seller of the brand made me feel this one.

quite similar to neroli portofino tf and infusio d homme prada .

a classic neroli perfume nothing fantastic, if you already have some in your collection this one will not bring anything new.

I recommend it only to those who discover their first neroli perfume

A bittersweet Néroli
I’m not particularly into floral notes in general, because I usually find them too sweet. However, Néroli somehow strikes a perfect amount of sweetness; you notice that it is there and are happy that it is only in the background and does not steal the show. Also, Néroli also has some novelty smell that I don’t get from other floral notes.
For Villa Néroli particularly, the experience is a little mixed. I like Néroli and its combination with Vanila. However, the citrus note creates bitter sparkles to the scent that I dislike. Luckily, the bitterness does not last long. The scent eventually evolves into a light and floral background.
The projection of the scent is not very satisfactory though. After 20 mins, it recedes to sitting close to my skin. It’s light and elegant that you notice it there when getting close, but it never pops up and say Hello.

Great neroli fragrance
Villa Neroli is a beautiful summery neroli fragrance.
Neroli simply comes across best in summer.

In my opinion, the fragrance is rather less special or unique, especially in the first few hours.
There are one or two neroli fragrances here and there that go in a similar direction.

The fragrance starts directly with this refreshing neroli note.
Neroli per excellence!
Many people always classify neroli as rather feminine. I can certainly understand this point of view, but neroli fragrances are also wonderfully unisex. I myself also own one or two neroli flankers.
I have heard comparisons with Marc Gebauer's Orange Flamingo, but in my opinion they are rather inappropriate. The two fragrances are quite different.
Of course, more orange blossom comes through over time, but the comparison is a little off.
But that's my personal opinion.

What makes this fragrance a little more special is above all the ending.
The fragrance develops in a sweetish, almost creamy balsamic direction, which is rather atypical for neroli fragrances or fresher fragrances in general.

I find the performance to be quite good. It lasts a long time, but becomes milder after 3-4 hours on my skin and generally develops closer to the skin.

Overall, a beautiful, fresh, summery fragrance that brings out the neroli and orange blossom perfectly.

Opening typical airy white floral, dries sweet-soapy with clean laundry vibe. Basically a safe-wear summer scent, feminine, good longevity.
