This…is VERY nice. Neroli & musk. This isn’t unisex per say, but I could care less. I dig it and I wear it confidently. A recent purchase for me. I had no idea Saab made their scents so well.

I love neroli and I regularly wear Hermes Neroli Dore, Muglar cologne, and Bottega Veneta Knot so I was excited to try this one. Sad to report this one falls a little flat for me. Its a high quality scent, only its rather light, thin and transparent. Maybe Im used to neroli that is blended with other notes, as Hermes Neroli has that saffron kick that takes it to another level. Essence No. 7 single neroli note just doesn’t do enough for me, and at such a high price point, this should blow my socks off. Longevity and silage is on the weak side, but the dry down does has a nice creamy finish. Beautiful packaging and the bottle is heavy and nice, but Ill end up wearing this as a all over body spray. Not really interested in exploring the other Elie Saab Essence offerings after this experience either. Thumbs sideways on this one.

Smells very close to the original Elie Saab fragrance but the honey rose is taken out and replaced with cedar & musk
Neroli is the star here… dense, exotic, heady with a fruity citrus opening!!! Clove notes accent the sweetness of the neroli while cedar / musk makes this fragrance relaxing and easily unisex imagine neroli portofino but a fresh spicy version

I have just ordered this on Fragrancenet, it was listed on sale at around US$80, so might be worth having a look if the price has been the deterrent. I will update with a proper review when I receive it. EDP 3.3ozs
Received it today, it’s in very swanky packaging, black box with black tissue paper sealed with the Elie Saab logo sticker, I was reluctant to open it!
Spritzed it on, definitely a powerhouse Neroli hit, not linear, evolving, twisting and turning, have had it on for about 5 hours and that dark weepy orange blossom orchard heaviness just keeps on going.
I am updating again to point out that this is easily unisex.
Would I pay $300 or $500 which others are saying was the original launch price? Probably not, but at $80 it’s a steal for the quality.
Another update…have given it some extra time but I must resign myself to the fact that it’s very masculine, so my husband is the lucky recipient and he’s happy with it.
