I find a lot of nerolis can be somewhat offensive, Marley’s Neroli for instance smells okay right when you put it on but it quickly loses something that rounds out the edges and turns into a too sharp a smell to be pleasant. This one has the Neroli front-and-center but it’s also been smoothed out to make it a lot more mellow and palatable.
This may be the best Neroli I’ve ever smelled. Tea, orange, smoke, are in the background doing a lot of work. So far I’m very impressed with the Gurlain’s line of fragrances. This seems pretty unisex although I would lean slightly towards calling it more feminine. It will be good on a date or in the summer ordering a brunch. With the sophisticated smell it would be good at formal events like weddings.
