Cap Néroli

Cap Néroli by Parfums de Nicolaï is an unisex eau de parfum in the premium price tier.

Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Petitgrain Bitter twigs and leaves of the orange tree. Dry and a little green.
Sweet Orange Juicy and cheerful. The friendliest citrus there is.
Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
Rosemary Sharp, camphorous herb. Bracing and clean, borders on medicinal.
Peppermint Icy and sharp. Reads clean but can tip into chewing gum.

Heart

Neroli Distilled orange blossom. Green, soapy and elegant.
Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.

Dry-down

Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
