Description

Neroli is inspired by weddings, and it symbolizes rural traditions of adornment of brides with beautiful orange blossom, the symbol of purity, innocence, fertility and eternal love.

This fragrance was created as ode to medieval Italian Princess Neroli. It is very floral and picturesque, composed of orange blossom essence and orange pips. It was designed by Annick Goutal‘s daughter Camille in 2003 and it was presented as a limited edition unisex fragrance.

The nose behind this fragrance is Camille Goutal.

    Interesting neroli and cypress combo. The cypress (and maybe cedar) note makes it more unisex and sets an overall woody tone to this fragrance. Cypress really amplifies that waxy “gritty” quality neroli scent sometimes has which may be to some people’s likings and not others. The base turns surprisingly soapier than what I would expect from a fresh start. Longevity is between 4 to 6 hours and sillage disappears quite a bit as time goes on.
    This is one of the neroli fragrances I tried as I look for a neroli holy grail, and alas this was not. The search continues.

    I found this a crisp and bright neroli-citrus scent with a bit of dampness, that I personally find really natural and refreshing. I didn’t notice the woody aspects as much as I had expected.
    Sadly at 8 hours it is undetectable.

    Another disappointment from Annick Goutal. I don’t know what it is about this house’s citrus and citrus-floral scents, but they are always horrible on my skin. I can only surmise:
    1. Every Annick Goutal I’ve tried has gone off, or;
    2. They’re just bad.
    I’ve read elsewhere that Annick Goutal’s citrus scents do turn rather quickly, which makes me think it’s the former. If that’s the case, there’s no use persevering anymore. What’s the point in paying niche prices for a scent that goes off that quickly?

    If you can’t afford Jo Malone Orange Blossom or Tom Ford Neroli Portofino …… THIS IS the one for you!!
    Sweet, happy , glorious orange blossom / neroli frag with hints of green and other white florals .
    So natural and intoxicating…… and not too expensive either!
    Perhaps more for ladies than men but screw it — I’m a gender bender and I LOVE NEROLI !
    I swear — this is so relaxing that doctors should prescribe this to people in states of panic and shock and depression!!!!!

    This is true neroli. Its one of my favorite scents and I have several versions of it but some are blended with too many other notes or have such a heavy vanilla base that I don’t get that wonderful bittersweet smell. When my 15ml bottle gets low I will definitely get a FB!
    UPDATE: Just bought a 6.8 oz. bottle on ebay for an excellent price and can now spray with reckless abandon lol! However, I find that Woods of Windsor’s Bergamot Neroli smells almost exactly like it. The AG has a bit more of that bitter ‘greeness’ which is what I love so much in neroli – but Woods of Windsor has a definite edge where price is concerned!

    I wanted a nice, splashy, cologne-like neroli fragrance for summer. I tried a few Atelier Colognes but they were like fragrance white noise.
    Annick Goutal’s Neroli has not only met, but exceeded my expectations. It’s slightly sharp and bitter but with a pleasantly powdery undertone and a very strong cypress note. I love cypress, and it’s rare to find it so dominant.

    I tried this fragrance from a vial I received by a friend, and sadly it did not meet my expectations. I love the orange blossom scent so much, and I remember being on a motorway in Sicily in May, when the trees were in bloom, and smelling the amazing fragrance through the car’s open windows.
    There is a hint of that beauty in this perfume, but not enough.
    I can smell a lot of citrus, that alas, is a bit out of place.
    It is a very fresh fragrance, suitable for spring or summer, but it does not last for very long.
    Weak and undistinguished.

    AG’s Neroli, well, that’s pretty much it. It is a 3-D, bright, luscious Neroli/Orange Flower perfume. There seems to be no other notes, it has no changes other than that of intensity. It’s very well done for what it is, natural and realistic, but there’s nothing more to say than that. If you feel like Neroli than you can do much worse than Annick Goutal’s.
    As per AG the silage is minimal and lasting power is 3-4 hours, tops.
    (As other reviewers have noted I do not detect the woody/green notes at all, which is very disappointing…)

    In my quest to find a similar fragrance to my believe Eau du Ciel, this was referred to me by a fragrance professional at Bloomingdales.
    This goes on with some of the same upper register notes as Eau du Ciel, which stands for “Spring Rain”… and has a good solid lower base which balances the fragrance chord.
    This wore fabulously well for the first 2 hours or so, then gradually started dissipating to a really light fragrance (which seems to be a major trend in the Annick Goutal Fragrance collections and Jo Malone).
    This would be worth revisiting – and isolating to wearing only one scent and not comparing to a number that have been sprayed on the arm.

    At opening I get the fleeting breath of neroli but quickly it’s overcome by two elements of the orange blossom. One element, the one I adore, is a sunny, light exotic floral but then I get a more dominant element of indole. Unfortunately, that element comes off as rotting flowers to me and I just can’t get past it.
    Within a few hours the indole element seems to disappear and I’m finally just left with the delicate floral but within what seems like minutes of the indole being gone, so is the best part of the scent, the floral, and ultimately the perfume has evaporated completely from my skin.
    At no point do I get the petitgrain, cypress or cedar. It may be there and perhaps that is what intensifies the indole element but otherwise I am unaware of them as separate notes.
    That being said, even when there is just the floral,without the indole, it’s still a bit distant, like a photo out of focus and not really saturated with color.

    Meh. I can’t get too excited by this blend. I’m trying to decide if it is that I just don’t love orange-y scents. However none of the Annick Goutal scents seem effective for me, and fade very very fast. Not impressed.

    This scent is too well-behaved for me. Balanced and refined, definitely. On my skin it leans towards soapy white flowers. But I love the warm, tangy, slightly bitter green edge to pure neroli essential oil, and that doesn’t come through enough in this frag for my taste.

    Annick Goutal has a fabulous line….. Sadly, it is not well marketed in North America and not even carried in Canadian department stores….. I was interested to see that Celebs anywhere from Di Caprio, to Oprah, to Anniston to Michael Douglas to Nicole Kidman…., etc…. Truly a fabulous line and a better price point than Creed and some of the other houses….

    Gosh I was disappointed when I took a whiff of this. It has all my faves. Maybe my nose isn’t developed enough or it’s a bad lot but ALL I smell is… Jean Nate. depressing.

    In a nutshell, I would describe this fragrance as Old World status and power. Overwhelming at first but increasingly pleasing as it wears down. Too deep and heavy for office wear, probably for any event that I’ll ever attend, but good to have experienced. “Cute”, “light”, “airy”, and “delicate” this is definitely not!!

    Neroli, this fragrance, in one word, pure enough, just like something directly from the nature. Wearing it, close your eyes, imagine yourself walking slowly in a green garden, yes, this is how I enjoy Neroli. Even in office… whenever I feel anxious about work, it helps me soothe the pressure a bit. I find mental effect in this scent.

    Annick Goutal’s Neroli is an interplay between green and floral. It hovers delicately on the edge between our perceived ideas of what is feminine and masculine. The first spray: it is a woman’s white-floral perfume. Moments later: it is a gently green men’s fougere.
    My first thoughts after applying Neroli? 1) Amazing! 2) It’s too feminine, I could never wear this!? 3) Well, maybe I can…
    I gave it a try recently. The trick with Neroli is actually the opposite of what you might think. Because it’s delicate, you actually need to put on quite a bit to pull this off as a men’s fragrance. Too light, and just the flowery petals appear on the skin. With a good 5-6 spritzes, the perfume exudes its stronger notes, and all the greens come out in full force along with the beautiful flowers.
    Neroli is really gorgeous stuff, there’s no denying it. It’s delicate enough that a woman could wear this every day. For a man, because it is floral, it’s more suited to interesting occasions when you want to get noticed. Most of all, it’s a perfume that you like smelling on yourself. I couldn’t stop sniffing my wrists and arms when I had this on. I’ve always had a particular love of fruit tree blossoms and their delicate scent, and this captures it with amazing precision and art.

    This is my newest obsession and think a full bottle is calling my name…
    I got at sample through a swap with the lovely *Sophi* a few months ago, but hadn’t gotten around to trying it until a couple of days ago. And now I am smitten.
    It has a slightly dry, woody opening which soon turns into a soft, transparent, sparkly floral. For some reason it reminds of the drydown of Chanel no 19, after the leather and the “harsh” stuff in the opening has gone, but I don’t think they share notes (or do they?).
    It is very different to Le Labo Neroli 36 which much more waxy and “fat”.
    I like both, but this is definitely a lot more airy than Le Labo. Must find a bottle somewhere…must….

    It is this perfume that made me fall in love with neroli and orange blossoms.
    It transports you to a different time.. somewhere in the long-forgotten past. It is innocent, intriguing, beguiling, and yet weirdly enough there is something ancient and timeless about this scent. I feel mysterious and sensual wearing this perfume. Great for someone who likes pure, clean, uncomplicated scents – a bit like those who prefer single malt whiskey.
    Strangely evocative. Time travel in a bottle.

    A french soap-shop smelling perfume. Don’t find it very feminine and sweet.. More refreshing and slightly green at the beginning, though it turns softer later on. Couldn’t imagine a man wearing this, but anything is possible. I think it’s a very niche-ish perfume though, not meant for everyone. Guess neither for me, it turns a bit too bathroomy to me. But definitely try if you’re searching something refined and refreshing.

    I’m in love…vivacious green dream…it’s an incredibly amazing perfume!
    Charming infusion of orange blossom with grass and neroli.Slightly bitter taste with smooth sweetness…airy and delicate…I cannot find words to describe this scent.. I feel:I’m out of this world and I just want to fly with the wind.:)
    Touch of the Nature, a sigh of a fairy..

    My favorite Neroli. Light, slightly bitter beginning warms into sweet and sensual full bloom. I really appreciate Annick Goutal’s rendition of single note florals. This Neroli captures the fresh blossom better than any other Neroli scents I have tried.

    NEROLI by Annick Goutal is perfect in portraying the fresh and tender orange blossoms. It is beautiful in its natural simplicity. I truly admire how Annick Goutal is able to capture the beauty of nature as is and to prove that the scent does not need to be overly complex or elaborate to be gorgeous.
    The scent opens with very aromatic, green, fresh and slightly bitter notes of neroli. I agree with tigerlillian that there are traces of bergamot in the beginning. The scent becomes tender, softer and slightly sweet in the heart notes just like the gentle orange blossoms. It is very romantic and sensual at this stage. NEROLI transforms into woody green, refreshing, slightly soapy and clean scent in the base notes and stays in this form for hours.
    The scent is lovely for spring and summer. The sillage and longevity are decent. I definitely recommend this perfume as my favorite neroli/orange blossom scent. (Overall score – 9.5/10)
    (This review is for Eau de Toilette)

    Aromatic to start, like fresh neroli oil, almost as though there was a nuance of bergamot. Perhaps the ‘green’ is attributed to the orange pips that the description above provides.
    Neroli starts to soften and the gentle petals start to blossom. This does indeed play like a soliflore with a warm, extensive vibration.
    A wonderfully clean, uplifting and sensual tribute to this pretty little powerhouse flower.

    This neroli was a powerful one, but it had a green and slightly bitter aspect to it that gave me a headache.

    Every good perfumista needs a fine neroli perfume, and Annick Goutal NEROLI certainly is one! Dry and floral with the darkness that only neroli provides. This is a solifore, as far as I can tell, and comparing it to Aqua Allegoria FLORA NEROLIA, I would say that the latter has more resins or musk–in a word: base–since it has far better longevity and more of a feminine, perfumey quality to my nose.
    That said, AG NEROLI is supposed to be unisex, and I do believe that it is, although the sillage might be too big for some gents. My impression is that Annick Goutal is better at simpler fragrances such as this rather than complicated, confusing concoctions such as CHARLOTTE. Anyway, NEROLI I definitely recommend, and I am very happy to have a nice-sized decant of this simple yet beautiful fragrance thanks to celina (who, in case you didn’t know, has EXCELLENT taste!).

    I shouldn’t be comparing this fragrance to other neroli based scents, however only seconds before trying this fragrance I had tested Le Lebo’s Neroli 36.
    Had I not smelt a much sweeter and more feminine Neroli 36, Annick Goutal’s Neroli may have been delicate to my nose too.
    The orange note is certainly obvious in this fragrance. It’s not overly citrusy, more pulpy and juicy with a dash of herbs. It does have a masculine quality to it, however I wouldn’t go so far to say that it’s unpleasant.
    The scent tends to be very light and airy at times with a touch of greeness and a likable bitterness. Unfortunately the lasting power is extremely poor, I could barely smell it after an hour on my skin.
    Neroli evokes a strong sense of Summer in my mind. Lots of sunshine, cool drinks and warm breezes. It’s pretty, but like I said, disappointing in the longevity department. I wanted to see how it would develop further.
    Vanilla does play a part in this fragrance’s drydown, giving Neroli a somewhat sweet aspect that still manages to smell very natural. What I do admire about this fragrance is its ability to smell like a blossom picked fresh from a garden. This is an all-natural interpretation of a beautiful orange blossom.

    Hard to belive that this is unisex as the smell is so sweet and feminine. My bf even disagreed to put this on his wrist, usually he tries every unisex I try.
    The scent is very fresh and very greend and I somehow like it very much. It is very, very refreshing and as I said – very feminine, but not in a “sexy” or “seductive” way. I can imagine this on a romantic girl dressed in white in summertime. No femme fatale here. And this could be a griet “first perfume” for teenage girls. So mother – better get this one than some celebrity stuff, because this will provide some quality as well.
    I really like it. It’s so gentle and cute that it’s hard to resist. On my buy list this goes with no doubts.

    This is my favorite neroli/orange blossom scent. Very nice balance of citrus/green notes and florals. The opening is citrus and somewhat sharp. Quickly a soft floral undertone emerges for a wonderful combination of delicate florals and zesty green notes. Would be perfect for summer, but I wouldn’t necessarily limit it to that season. Lasting power is also good. A must for neroli and orange blossom lovers.

    Exquisite perfume. I don’t think it could be worn by a man because it’s too sweet, airy and smooth simultaneusly. It’s a delightful morning fragrance, i feel almost pride when i’m wearing this and i can tell that women and men like it. It refreshes you and the room you’re in. Seems very simple as a smell, but it’s elegant and joyful at the same time. Lasting power is surprisingly long.Give it a try. 10.08

    I know this sounds weird, but this smells warm & caramel/vanilla-like w touches of pine & orange on me. Simply gorgeous. I receive so many compliments.

    Special scent, it feels like being inside of a bitter orange blossoms bouquet. This fragrance is so pure and delicate. Springer in a bottle. Long lasting. If you love orange blossoms, you will fall in love for it. Give it a try!
