L’Occitane en Provence – Néroli Eau de Parfum (Le Marchand d’Odeurs Collection)
The story of Neroli.
Anna Maria de La Trémoill, the 17th century Italian princess of Nerola, introduced the essence of bitter orange flowers as her signature perfume to scent her bathwater and fine leather gloves. From then on the orange blossom became the emblem of the Nerola clan.
This perfume captivates the senses by releasing the euphoric and seductive note of Neroli essential oil.

The first time I smelt the old Neroli I was almost paralysed. Heaven, just pure heaven. No other perfume has ever had this impact on me and on my skin it was perfect alchemy, nothing has ever come close to this one. Such a shame that most perfumes a go for fresh cologne approach with neroli. l occitane went for deep, rich, intoxicating…..and then they reformulated……and then they stopped. I have not bought anything from then again…..how sad
романс23 – :
L’Occitane Neroli is by far the most sublime scent I have ever worn. If it was still available it would definitely be my signature. Creamy full bodied warm yummy neroli loveliness. I only have under half a bottle left so I save it for very special occasions. Luckily all I need is one or two sprays to be transported to perfume heaven!!!Whenever I wear this I feel great and I get a lot of positive comments.
ISPDN – :
This is considered my life long signature scent. I’m so frustated that I can no longer buy it, i’ve sent emails to l’occitane and will start a petition!
Deroxqpxai – :
Bring it back! Stunning fragrance!

I can only remember it smelled heavenly. Outstanding, feminine, beautiful.
S.A.C. – :
Mmmm I got lucky and scored a half filled bottle of this amber coloured potion. Like previous reviewers have mentioned, it is quite the intoxicating blend! L’Occitane Neroli isn’t a soliflore, though.
It opens up with a really lovely neroli; fresh, not overly floral and it has this certain ‘oily’ quality about it, like it is blooming. The opening is simply glorious and I’m kind of sad this fades quite quickly. Next up in the middle stage are woody notes – smooth and a little bit sharp, like pencil shavings, but enveloped by the neroli. The combination is great, but the drydown is the most exciting part. The neroli dials down in intensity and the woody notes (I guess cedar) are joined by, according to what I smell, a very smooth and dark blend of tonkabean, sandalwood and a pinch of leather. Maybe also some dark, deep vanilla extract, nowhere the sugary kind. From the drydown on, it reminded me a lot of the original Addict (2002) in terms of its dark and sensual drydown. Addict is however a lot more on the vanilla/tonkabean/sandalwood, whereas LN revolves around a subtle low humming of Neroli, supported by a cast of dry woods/tonkabean/leather.
Sillage is heavy and projection is monstrous the first hour; however, it doesn’t go ‘in your face’; it envelops you in a cloud of beautiful Neroli. Can’t really comment on the longevity: though I applied it before bed, and when I woke up I could smell small traces of it. L’Occitane is a really beautiful fragrance, but I’m not sure whether I would spend 100+ dollar on this perfume; I’m sure there are other (niche) neroli fragrances that are similar to this discontinued one.

The original Neroli was one of the most incredible fragrances I’ve EVER smelled…rich, intoxicating, and lasted forever! I wish they’d bring it back.
svdarling – :
This one is an absolute dream for me. I was blessed to receive a bottle for free from someone who just didn’t like it. Had no idea then that it was discontinued. Anyway, I’ve been searching ever since for a dupe and I have been amazed to find that Cologne of Love is close. It lacks the deep creaminess in the dry down and is brighter on the neroli in the opening. But if you aren’t comparing them side by side, they are very close and in the absence of Neroli, CoL is a wonderful dupe.
kievlyanenoviymagaz – :
Absolutely sublime fragrance, rich and dark. I was so upset to find that this had been discontinued. I have a tiny bit left and will be very sad when it runs out.
utyio – :
PLEASE PLEASE PLEAE bring the original back!! There is nothing like it in the world!!
Dukalis1993 – :
a bit strong when first sprayed, but about after 20-30 minutes, especially on a warm day, this smells like glorious, hot neroli with some woodiness in the background. it’s got a warmth to it, a bit spicy maybe, but i think it’s perfect for warm or hot weather.
myn271Unlogrere – :
This is ghastly :

Seriously, it is so potent and medicinal I nearly got sick the last time this was sprayed near me. If you’re a neroli fanatic, I would suggest buying a neroli candle or a jar of essential oil and enjoying it in the privacy of your own home. Don’t wear this on a date…or to work….or in any public situation, for the sake of other people…please.
vanpir2012 – :
Smooth, rich and mysterious sexy neroli scent. It was love at first sniff.
колямба – :
I was able to get the travel size “old” Neroli in a close-out sale from L’Occitane online. It’s a fabulous fragrance and after reading the comments on the new version, I am definitely rationing what I have left. The original Neroli is a sensual scent that lasts all day and night.
mixas1 – :
This is a great scent for neroli lovers. I personally prefer neroli as part of a whole, rather than the feature, but this is a very good fragrance nontheless.
артем свердлов – :
I can’t find this in stores. They discontinued it together with old Rose 4 Reines EdP and Eau de 7 Fleurs. Why???
The new Notre Flore Neroli is very nice too, but the vintage was like old world perfume and neroli bomb!
yurii959 – :
to me is similar with jean paul gaultier classique very stron i have smelled this 2 years ago and that was the impresion, anyway is a good fragrance but here is quite expensive
dimakz1971 – :
I must have tried the “new” one when my boyfriend told me it smelled morbid!
AKVKlim – :
I bought a bottle of this in France 4 years ago. I wore this perfume all over France so it reminds me of early spring in Northern France. It is a lovely warm scent that can be sorta strong to start with but mellows out over time. This scent will last you all day. It takes a powerful woman to wear this. This scent will make you stand out among the Estee Lauder, Prada, Brittney Spears wearing bunch.
a.dvorydkin – :
Well, I think I’ve smelled the newer “Neroli”, because it’s similar to Dior Addict! Am I right, iMaverick?
Solaris – :
The true fragrance lover will seek out the older version of this fragrance. The new version has been hyped up with a floral-fruity nature that smells ghastly.
The old version, however, is bold, sweet, woody and ambery. A lot of neroli is used, with a strong vein of rose, and a finish of amber, sandalwood, and a vanilla that just won’t quit! A dizzyingly good potion.
If the original formulation forever disappears, there is always Dior Addict. Not as interesting or as spicy, but it has its own seductive quality, or Ange ou Demon if you don’t mind an exotic kind of seduction.

I managed to get 3 of the last old bottles in Dublin. If you buy the new one you will be bitterly disappointed halo.
SERGEY_VICTOR – :
Yep, I saw a half bottle of the ‘Old’ Neroli for half price in a half price sale. I had 2 paper strips sprayed wiht both the ‘old’ and the ‘new’ versions. There was no comparision. I have written to the head office in Dublin which will be forwarded to France to complain about how disappointing the new one is.
prip – :
I have L’Occitane Neroli “the older one” and it is my favorite perfume. I will buy the newer one when mine runs out. I just love the deep orange fragrance that L’Occitane has.
VeNoM-MEN – :
I bought the new Occitane neroli and and very disappointed. It doesn’t smell as nice nor does it last very long

divino… un Neroli da sogno!
