Neroli – created in 2003, notes include Orange blossom absolute, neroli essence, petitgrain Paraguay essence, cypress essence, cedar essence.

I wouldn’t mind wearing it in summer if I just happen to get a bottle but I do not plan on actively seeking it.
Sillage: light (3 out of 5); tenacity: fair (3 hours).
