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.
