Acqua Neroli
Acqua Neroli by Clean Reserve is an unisex eau de parfum from 2015 in the designer price tier. It opens with bergamot, mandarin and sweet orange, moves into jasmine, neroli and orange blossom and dries down to musk, amber and ambrette seed. Expect around 5 hours of wear, and it projects softly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Sweet Orange Juicy and cheerful. The friendliest citrus there is.
Heart
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Neroli Distilled orange blossom. Green, soapy and elegant.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
Dry-down
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Ambrette Seed The only natural musk. Pear-like, warm and slightly boozy.
