Neroli Nostrum by Lunio

What a discovery this has been for me. I actually tried it two years ago when it launched; I ordered a sample from their website and liked it, but I don’t know why it didn’t win me over immediately. Eventually, I went for Cherry Fever. Then, right at the start of this year, I came across the sample again and, as they say, saw ‘fireworks’. I love the blend of neroli and tuberose; it is a very fresh nard. Although I initially thought it might overwhelm me, quite the opposite happened – it has become my true addiction. I consider it a unique fragrance because, while we all know the scent of neroli and it is wonderful, the twist given by the combination with citrus and fresh tuberose gives it its own stamp. It is very comfortable and easy to wear. I see that many people think it is unisex leaning towards feminine, perhaps due to the nard, but to me it seems totally unisex, especially for enjoying in the heat. Anyway, the more I delve into fragrances, the more I detach myself from the gender I previously attributed to perfumes. Now I wear anything I like. What a pity that it seems production has stopped, unless I am mistaken.

The first perfume from a recently emerged Spanish house. Just the fact of daring to venture in the country is reason enough for applause. If we add to that enduring reviews based on envy and an incomprehensible hatred, the value is doubled. As a perfume enthusiast, I like to focus on that and not reflect on this, but there is no doubt that the ownership of the house makes poisoned people make baseless poor assessments. Sincerely, I do not see the need to soil something we like. That said, it is noticeable that the first creation is well thought out. Based on notes that please the owners and have harmony. A fresh perfume, timely for spring and summer due to its green character. Based on neroli with chords of tuberose and fig. Well executed with good balance, it offers what it promises; I would only highlight as a negative point that on my nose, a stemone aroma stands out more than I would like. It is not a perfume I would use regularly because I am not excessively fond of tuberose or fig. However, it is a correct perfume, with good performance, and gives much more than some renowned houses offer us. Greetings!

I like the way Josier works; he usually creates delicate perfumes with a somewhat unusual class. This perfume, respecting the idea of a fresh, Mediterranean, and sophisticated aroma, proposes something new: argan oil is used to encapsulate the neroli molecule. The result is a clean, fresh perfume of typically Italian cut, versatile and quite long-lasting, where the neroli is the protagonist but one must remark that it is too soft and in several moments is overshadowed by the nard, accompanied by Mediterranean notes that add nuances in each phase. A creation where summer, with its flowering, dominates. It becomes creamier and slightly woody over time. The interweaving of bergamot, petit grain, and neroli offers immediate freshness. The heart is a lively combination of orange blossom and ginger with a touch of fig, soft and creamy, leading to the meeting between woods, amber, and ambrette. The touch of warmth that closes the composition, a subtle reminiscence of cedar, evokes Mediterranean afternoons and the trail of sandalwood, like an unforgettable trail. As for the unisex concept, I believe we all have a masculine and a feminine part, dosed according to our personality. Neroli Nostrum is a good general work; in my opinion, it leans a little more towards the feminine side but is perfectly usable by anyone. Courtesy of Mithrandir.

From the first spray, it seemed a jewel to me. For me, it is a perfume of very beautiful balances: although I think it is wearable in any season, my brain screams spring. Although it seems perfectly unisex to me, I feel very feminine wearing it. Although it carries as a flag a slightly sharp neroli, it is perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the nard. In the opening, it smells mainly of petit grain and citrus. The slightly spicy aspect of the ginger is also evident. Soon the floral heart begins to be perceived, but this opening lasts quite a few minutes. As for the floral part, the predominant note to my olfaction is the neroli and not the nard as I had read. I do not detect the fig as such and imagine it is responsible for the slight and extremely balanced sweetness that accompanies the flowers. It has a moderate trail and a longevity of 8-9 hours on my skin. I think it is really good and I cannot but congratulate Antonio and Daniel Josier for having created a fantastic fragrance. It would be my choice to buy between the two perfumes of the house and I will probably buy it when I finish others that transmit similar sensations. Scent 8/10 Longevity 8.5/10 Trail 7/10 Value for money 7/10 Versatility 8/10 Packaging 6/10 Would I buy again? I did not buy it.

I’ll reiterate: spectacular. It lasts until late the next day. Excellent Antonio, great Canal Fraganceando, and wonderful Daniel Jossier as always.

The opening notes remind me of Carnal Flower by Frédéric Malle, yet this is more citrusy, brighter, and less dense. It’s a perfect choice for spring; with the sun and after a shower, it gives you a boost of energy and freshness that leaves you smiling.

It’s a well-rounded perfume, yet people can’t decide if they like it or not. Objectively, some say it smells like shit. Well done, folks, congratulations. This perfume is spectacular.

I bought a decant sent by Lunio. From the start, the quality of the materials is noticeable; on my skin, it lasts 6 hours, with a personal bubble projection for the first 2, then close to the skin. I didn’t buy the bottle because I liked the scent and quality, but I see it as more feminine than masculine. I tried the new Cherry Fever to see what would surprise me. Congratulations to Antonio and Josier on this venture.

When I was small, at my grandmother’s house, there was a yellow ashtray with neroli to scent the room. That evokes my first contact with Neroli Nostrum: an extremely floral, natural, clean scent with personal connotations. Do I like to wear it? No, mainly because I see it as absolutely feminine. It’s not negative, but it’s not for me. The neroli is omnipresent, as is the fig sweetness, and that’s where I stop. I think my girlfriend will like it more. Undoubted quality, super natural and pleasant scent, open to subjectivity. I wouldn’t buy it blind; better a sample, as I did with Cherry Fever (testing today: opening is a nefarious Kojak chupa chups for me, but the dry-down is tremendously delicious). Humble verdict: undoubted quality perfume, but requires prior testing, even if it’s obvious.

“A neroli for people who don’t like neroli’ Hahaha. Almost shit for those who don’t like shit. More than Neroli Nostrum, it should be Neroli Nostrum. It has good quality; you can tell the ingredients are good, but it leans feminine rather than unisex. Promising citrus opening, but as it dries, white flowers emerge: neroli, jasmine, and muguet, the backbone of the perfume. The final dry-down at 4 hours is the least liked: feminine, white floral, and tender. My mother adores it; I’ll gift it to her. It suits a woman well; I think it should target the female market; not always discriminating by gender is bad.

If you like neroli, this is a must-have: absolutely delicious and fairly priced for a niche of this quality, a work by Daniel Josier and the great Antonio from Fraganceando.

Duration and sillage are correct. Olfactorily, it offers me nothing; I don’t know how people write such beautiful poems about it.

I was hunting for my signature scent somewhere between commercial and niche until I landed on Neroli Nostrum. My verdict: positive. The neroli and woods jump out at me. It reminds me of Carnal Flower by Frederic Malle, but while that smells of night, this is for the day. It’s unisex; women wear it openly, whereas men find it trickier. Girls throw compliments because it smells exquisite and is their favourite. Lasts 7-8 hours, projects strongly at first then stays close to the skin. Ideal for spring, summer and autumn. Value for money: top-tier ingredients at a fair price (Lunio demands it, though it could rise).

Thanks to YouTubers I thought it was cheap fluff, until I ordered a decant for six euros. I had prejudices because I’m not a neroli fan, but once I applied it, I liked it. The good stuff comes out on dry down: sweet floral, fresh and elegant. Clearly a masculine scent, lasts about six hours, projects well initially then becomes intimate. The best part is the quality and price. Daniel Josier sells it more expensively and it’s less interesting. It smells of fine ingredients, not supermarket stuff. I left my prejudices behind and ordered the bottle.

I bought this perfume without having ever used one with neroli. The first impressions are brilliant: the box and bottle surprised me with their simple design, clear glass, and cedar cap. The opening is a hit of rich, green, refreshing fig, with soft bergamot, petit grain vert, and pure neroli, very natural. Then comes the tuberose mixed with the neroli; I was surprised and loved it, a real triumph. It’s a spectacular unisex. It lasts about six hours on my skin; longevity is 6-8 hours, very surprising for a blind buy, although I had studied it well. My wife loves it; it’s totally unisex, but I recommend trying it first if you don’t like neroli. Ideal for hot days, spring, and summer. A real perfumazo. I loved and was surprised by Antonio; Neroli Nostrum is magnificent and highly recommended.
