To start, it’s no coincidence that the bottle is gorgeous, elegant, and eye-catching. It’s the first thing that catches your attention and what drew me to this perfume. It’s a delicious scent. Although the name suggests a blast of pure, solar neroli, in my opinion, the neroli note prevails, giving it a deeper, creamier, opulent touch with a sensuality that leans slightly feminine. The neroli stays subtle but very rich, slightly green and luxurious. But what truly conquers me is everything behind this perfume, a clear example of what real artistic perfumery means to me. It comes with a small booklet explaining the notes used, their origins, their sustainability… that extra transparency adds even more value for me. You feel like you’re part of a project, not just a scent. I hope other brands that define themselves as niches take note.

A bomb of white florals and more. At first, it seems like a simple floral and citrus scent… but nothing could be further from the truth. Things evolve. The dry down is indeed a concentration of neroli, tempered by a sharp, natural neroli, with fresh citrus notes that add a friendlier touch, pulling it away from being entirely feminine. I’m not usually a fan of neroli, but here it works. You can detect a hint of fig, giving the dry down a slightly fruity character. In the heart phase, after a few minutes, it feels a bit green without losing its floral identity, while the citrus fades away. Then, in the final phase, we have sandalwood again—a creamy sandalwood that adds a touch of masculinity and elegance, along with something in the base, possibly vanilla as declared, which is sweet. This sweet note paired with the sandalwood makes the scent elegant and more calming, shedding that initial edge. It’s unisex, versatile, and has good performance. It’s not about feeling like you’re in a garden of white flowers; this is like cut white flowers, where you also smell the stems, combined with the notes mentioned. That makes it versatile and unique. Spring is its true home, but it works in summer and autumn too. Good performance. Very, very interesting.
A bomb of white flowers and more. At first glance, it seems like a simple floral and citrus fragrance… it’s nothing like that. There’s more to it. The opening is indeed a concentration of neroli, softened by a sharp, natural neroli, fresh citrus notes that give it a friendlier touch, keeping it from being entirely feminine. I’m not usually a fan of neroli, but here I love it. You can detect a bit of fig, making the opening slightly fruity. In the heart, after a few minutes, I sense a touch of green without losing its floral character, while the citrus fades away. Then, in the dry down, we have the sandalwood again, a creamy sandalwood to add perhaps a masculine and elegant touch, plus something in the base, I’m not sure if it’s vanilla but it’s listed, sweet. A sweetness accompanied by sandalwood, making it elegant and calmer. It no longer has that initial punch. Unisex, versatile, and with decent longevity. It’s not about feeling like you’re in a garden of white flowers; this is cut white flowers, where you also smell the stem, added to the notes mentioned. That makes it versatile and unique. Spring is its place, but summer and autumn work too. Decent longevity. Very, very interesting.
