Nolita

$460.00

Nolita opens with the brightness of neroli and bergamot, a Mediterranean warmth that has found its way to a few blocks north of Little Italy where the boutiques are small and the espresso is good. The jasmine-rose heart has an airy quality, lily of the valley keeping the combination from deepening into the heavy florals that afternoon heat can pull from rose absolute. Cedar and amber dry things down to a clean, slightly sweet finish that reads as effortlessly well-dressed rather than studied. The fragrance equivalent of a well-chosen Sunday outfit.

Why We Carry This

Nolita works because the neroli opening has genuine quality and the lily of the valley note performs a real structural function, preventing the jasmine from dominating the heart. The cedar-amber base is understated and well-proportioned. Clean without being safe.
