Neroli of Genoa
Fragrance notes
Character
Neroli of Genoa fits the person who wants a bright citrus profile without the sharp bite that usually comes with it. The lavender and amber accords soften the edges of the lemon, mandarin orange, and bitter orange, giving the scent a rounded, approachable character. It feels clean and polished, moving through the air with a mix of white floral notes like jasmine and African orange flower alongside the fresh spicy lift of rosemary and myrtle.
The composition carries a distinct powdery quality from the ambrette and pitosporum, which keeps the citrus notes from feeling too juvenile. Bergamot and angelica add a green, slightly herbal touch that complements the sweetness of the amber. It is a fresh, aromatic blend that stays close to the skin, offering a musky dry texture that feels natural rather than synthetic, making it suitable for daily wear when the air is warm and the sky is clear.
There is a steady presence of neroli that ties the lavender and citrus together, ensuring the fragrance remains cohesive even as the individual notes shift. The inclusion of these specific florals creates a layered experience that is both calming and invigorating, leaving a trail of soft, powdery freshness that lingers in the immediate space around the collar and wrists.
