‘INITIAL IDEA: “A work around the purity of orange blossom”
MAIN INGREDIENT: Absolute Orange Blossom Tunisia
CREATIVE APPROACH: Highlight the fresh and radiant facet with Neroli Oil Lebanon and Bergamot Oil Italy. Amplify the delicate floral character with Ylang-Ylang Oil Comoros and Floral Musks.’ – Matiere Premiere

In Neroli Oranger it’s the orange blossom that shines, which is supported by bergamot and neroli. Ylang-Ylang is also listed, but I can’t say I detect it much. It opens very orange forward, with a rind-like, zesty quality. After a while it transitions into a bright, more floral scent, almost moving into lily-of-the-valley territory to me. I love the opening hour of this one and it did seem to perform a little bit better than Cologne Cedrat on first impression.
