Evolution of Neroli Nights
Neroli Nights is an unapologetically feminine perfume. It opens with a passing wisp of green leaf, augmented by beautiful citruses: Spanish petitgrain, Egyptian yuzu and Indian mandarin. These infuse and form a natural landscape for the neroli. The blossoms heighten the top notes of magnolia, pink pepper and rose centifolia. Vanilla helps extend the indolic heart note into a warm, slightly woody, Indian vetiver and labdanum echo the cut sprig supporting the Neroli sepals. Ambrette seed and saffron soften the vetiver and white sandalwood for a sensual dry-down.
This is a ‘clean’ scent with very little spice, but for a warmer perfume, with neroli, accompanied by prominent rose: Aroma Borealis is a lighter fruit/floral; Pavlova is a clean rose with a sandalwood base and Elfin Glen is another ‘clean’ scent of bluebells, hyacinth and other wild-flowers. Possibly the perfume most like this one, is the soliflore, Freesia . It has a very long trail of light, white blooms and is one of the most popular scents.
Style: Floral
Sillage: Arm’s length.
Longevity: 8 hours.

I expected a light citrus, as so many neroli perfumes tend to be, but this is not that., there are no screechy top notes. There are some citrus notes - lemon, petitgrain and bergamot, apparently, which give a nice fresh start. Then it gets going, deeper and deeper into a velvety, opulent wonderfully floral neroli. It reminds me of a Guerlain perfume I remember from the mid 80’s (not their orange blossom, Orange soleia, that is much lighter) and something of Fragonard’s Fleure d’oranger. Not what I was expecting, but loved it.
