Holy Neroli
Four citrus sources in the opening, neroli, bergamot, lemon, petitgrain, create a brightness that is specific rather than generic. The neroli note has a distinctly floral quality alongside its citrus, and that quality deepens when the orange blossom heart opens, the two working together to build something richer than a simple citrus cologne. Jasmine and rose give the heart body, cedarwood and amber in the base providing the warmth that keeps Holy Neroli wearable past the first hour of a hot afternoon.
Why We Carry This
Holy Neroli does what very few citrus-forward fragrances achieve: it holds. The orange blossom heart gives the initial brightness something to evolve into, and the amber-cedarwood base is warm enough to carry the composition into the evening without a reapplication. The neroli accord itself is worth examining closely.
