Italian Neroli

If you like neroli, you’re likely more familiar with the Tunisian and Moroccan crops. If you love neroli, you’ve probably gotten used to this wonderful one – or you insist on wearing only Italian neroli. 

Each of the most famous (and expensive) neroli-inspired perfumes make a point to mention its Italian heritage. As for the neat offerings, you can usually tell by the price alone how highly Italian crops are valued – quality Italian neroli oil is multiple times more expensive than more common varieties.

The scent’s piercing herbaceous pitch is easily noticed when donned neat, and equally effective to impart a fresh yet classy dimension to a perfume’s top-to-heart transition. And longevity is excellent.

While neroli is often applied for its sedating properties, calming nerves and tempering general anxiety, I choose precious flowers purely based on their olfactory integrity. This batch projects beautifully, and perfectly showcases why the bitter orange tree is one of the most prized ingredients in perfumery.

Try it: A dab of neroli, a swipe of rose on top, and just a touch of jasmine – now, you’re all set to experience nature’s perfumery in action.
