Description
“This passionate fragrance pays homage to whimsical and carefree days spent at carolina herrera’s venezuelan family estate, le vega – a rich and verdant setting where elegance and relaxed style effortlessly harmonized. La vega played host to close friends and family from around the globe to enjoy lavish parties and intimate gatherings. The lush emerald gardens, vivid sunsets and breathtaking landscap created the backdrop to indelible memories of a distinct time and place where every sense was captivated.
Here the neroli is bohemian, playful and sensual – a chiaroscuro composition of italian citrus fruits for bright freshness, nightfall indian jasmine for depth” Neroli Boheme was launched in 2015.

Simply stunning, prestige and worth the price. Beautiful packaging and bottle.
Wearing it on the hottest London days and it fills the air nicely 🙂
Definitely a great Neroli scent, narcotic white flowers and a subtle hit of zesty citrus notes.
Proud owner here!

Similar to Neroli Portofino (perhaps stronger)–very citrusy & semi-aquatic

Ever since fragrance has turned into a passion, I’ve been drawn to the scent of neroli, which began with Tom Ford’s Neroli Portofino.
I like the complete NP collection, however, the original turns to an old-fashioned soap on me after a few hours, the Forte is just too expensive for what you get and the Aqua, although my favourite neroli fragrance in terms of smell, suffers from poor performance.
Ever since my early neroli experiences, I’ve been searching for the holy grail of neroli perfume. One that is not too bitter but likewise not too feminine either and has great performance. In short, a unisex citrus-floral with good longevity and projection. With the amount of Neroli fragrances out there you might think my search would be easy but that’s not been the case, mainly because the fragrances I’ve tried, and I’ve sampled many, suffer from one of the issues mentioned above, i.e. too bitter, too floral or poor performance.
In Neroli Boheme, I’ve found a neroli fragrance that’s the best of any I’ve tried. This fragrance is absolutely stunning. Similar in tone to the original Neroli Portofino; it’s what NP should be. Upon the initial spray you get a blast of citrus so juicy you can almost taste it. This top layer of Tunisian Neroli and citrus is followed by a heart of Arabian Jasmine, which stops the citrus becoming too shrill and gives the fragrance some depth and a touch of softness. This is all anchored on a base of Musk and Benzoin, leading too a surprisingly long-lasting, beautiful citrus-floral that’s almost everything I’ve been looking for; bright, warm and clean. Yes, it’s a simple composition but one that’s been executed incredibly well – it just smells so natural and with good performance (although if you went by the voting above, at the time of writing, you would think it’s a beast; it’s not but the performance is above average for this type of fragrance, with great longevity – my only slight gripe is that I wished it projected a bit more).
I would categorise this as unisex, although it could be too feminine for some with its soft floral heart, although the same could be said of NP. It’s certainly one of those fragrances that wraps you in a hug and puts a smile on your face. This fantastic scent easily makes it into my top 10 fragrances; I love everything about it. It’s wonderfully presented too, in its heavy green crystal glass bottle, which oozes quality. I hope they never stop making this gem or cut corners with reformulations.
Outstanding job and a must for all fans of NP and similar fragrances.

Exceptionally good fragrance this is! Yes it is expensive but my word it is worth every penny. Long lasting silage and projection. Not a powerhouse full on blast, more silently strong envelope of neroli

Absolutely love it, wish it wasn’t so expensive but I’m going to buy it anyway, much nicer than the Tom Ford Neroli which I like too
Fabulous – :
It is a nice scent to be honest and I am looking forward to buy it soon

I can’t believe that I am the first to comment on this amazing perfume! Actually I have registered to the website just to write this comment! I love it because it reminds me of the smell of the citrus trees in the spring in my village! It is however overpriced (990/-AED = 270$) in Dubai! But if I had extra cash, I would definitely buy it!
