One of the most memorable aspects of the thoroughly gorgeous Cote d'Azur is the ubiquitous presence of orange trees, splashing the landscape with vivid color and perfuming the air with their beautiful scent. From a single tree, aromas of bright citrus, fresh woods, and smooth, creamy flowers float on the breeze, and when it comes to harvesting scented ingredients for perfumery, the versatility becomes astounding- one humble tree produces everything from bitter, spicy petitgrain to enchantingly smooth orange blossom absolute. Cap Neroli features every aspect of the Cote d'Azur's fabled orange trees, opening with a contrast of bitter petitgrain and sweet mandarin given a fresh aquatic shimmer via rosemary and mint. A heart of bright neroli and soft orange flower is enhanced with sweet ylang and fresh jasmine, all resting on a bed of fresh musks and oakmoss that linger for hours. It's a perfect tribute to a place of staggering beauty, and the ideal summer scent for just about anyone looking to bring a bit of the French Riviera with them wherever they go.
