To start with, and not coincidentally, the bottle is simply gorgeous, elegant and striking. It’s the first thing that catches the eye, and what drew me to this fragrance in the first place. It’s a delightful scent. Although its name suggests a slap of pure, solar neroli, in my opinion the neroli note prevails, giving it a deeper, creamier, opulent quality with a sensuality that leans slightly towards the feminine. The neroli remains understated but incredibly rich, with a touch of green and a luxurious feel. But what truly captivates me is everything that lies beneath this fragrance, a clear example of what I consider to be true artistic perfumery. It comes with a small booklet explaining the notes used, their origins, their sustainability… this extra transparency adds even more value for me. You feel like you’re part of not just a scent, but an entire project. I wish other brands that define themselves as niche would take note.

A white floral bomb and more. At first, it seems like a simple floral and citrus scent… but nothing of the sort. More happens. The dry down is indeed a concentration of neroli, softened by a sharp, natural neroli and fresh citrus notes that add a friendlier touch, pulling it slightly away from being entirely feminine. I’m not usually a neroli fan, but here I like it. There’s a hint of fig, giving the dry down a fruity edge. In the heart phase, after a few minutes, it feels a touch green without losing its floral character, as the citrus fades. Then, in the final phase, we have the sandalwood again—a creamy sandalwood to add perhaps a masculine and elegant touch—and there’s something in the base, I’m not sure if it’s vanilla but it’s listed, sweet. That sweet paired with the sandalwood makes it elegant and calmer. It’s no longer that initial punch. Unisex, versatile, and with decent longevity. It’s not about feeling like a garden of white flowers; this is cut white flowers, where you also smell the stem, added to the notes mentioned. That makes it versatile and different. Spring is its place, but summer and autumn work too. Decent longevity. Very, very interesting.
A white floral bomb and more. At first, it seems like a simple floral and citrus scent… but nothing of the sort. Much more happens. The dry down is indeed a concentration of neroli, tempered by a sharp, natural neroli, fresh citrus notes that add a friendlier touch, pulling it slightly away from being entirely feminine. I’m not usually a fan of neroli, but here I like it. There’s a hint of fig, giving the dry down a slightly fruity character. In the heart phase, after a few minutes, I detect a touch of green without losing its floral identity, while the citrus notes begin to evaporate. Then, in the final phase, we have the sandalwood again—a creamy sandalwood to add perhaps a masculine and elegant touch, plus something in the base, I’m not sure if it’s vanilla but it’s listed, sweet. This sweet note paired with the sandalwood makes it elegant and calmer. It no longer has that initial punch. Unisex, versatile, and with decent longevity. It’s not about feeling like you’re in a garden of white flowers; this is cut white flowers, where you also smell the stem, combined with the notes mentioned. This makes it versatile and unique. Spring is its place, though summer and autumn work too. Decent longevity. Very, very interesting.
