When Arab traders settled in Seville, they planted trees of bitter orange. Old trees still stand on the streets or in yards. Their scent spreads around the city. The composition is inspired by the scent of Seville bitter orange tree, reinterpreted with notes of luminous neroli, lemon, grapefruit, mandarin, white tea, cedar and cloves.
Sevillian Neroli Eau de Cologne was launched in 2013.

The neroli is most notable of the many generally green notes reminiscent of freshly cut star fruit or cactus juice. It subtly gives way to ylang ylang, orange blossom, tea, a very light rosemary and even a vague hint of banana.
I’ve worn this a lot this past three weeks, and frankly any trace of cedar or clove is marginal. Sweet and floral in the end with the neroli still there.
Citrus scents are not part of my regular wear. And the reason is simple: on the whole I don’t like them a whole lot. This is absolutely the exception. If it wasn’t for pathetically poor longevity this would be stupendously good (so long as you like neroli).
Often splash a bit on my palms before lights out. This is possibly when I like wearing it most. Very calming and restful. Many scents inhabit the citrus order; but this has a modernity and sophistication that is classy and engaging. I love it. Just wish it was longer lasting.

So refreshing and it’s just right! For the heat and humidity in Indonesia it’s so good, I prefer cologne than perfume since I don’t want myself to be too stinky when the fragrance mixed with heat and sweats after a while, this one is perfect after the shower before I start the day, so ling but the longevity is pretty good for a cologne.
Although I don’t trace the clove that much I can smell the ‘tea’ sort of scent under that citrusy layer… HEAVEN!

I agree babycat – this is lovely and refreshing for all the time you just want to feel clean and calm. Quite linear in its story from the very zingy start I find the Neroli balanced with a woody notes (probably the cedar). Certainly worth a try.

This is nice – neroli is obvious, but there’s a woody note to it as we’ll.
