Grand Neroli Atelier Cologne for women and men

If you love neroli, welcome to paradise.

Grand Neroli is the creamiest, freshest, richest, most well-executed neroli out there. The only thing that could even match this, MAYBE, is Neroli Sauvage by Creed. There's a few notes here and there in this one, but for the most part it's all neroli, all the time. And it lasts quite a while, like the other Atelier scents. An amazing tribute to the central note of Eau de Cologne.

Neroli is one of my favorite notes. I really like it here in Grand Neroli because I find it soft and fresh with a hint of sweetness from the yummy vanilla. Interestingly the dry-down in Grand Neroli smells very much like the dry-down of the very affordable Avon Herve Leger Femme, minus the woody notes that HL has. GN is probably my 2nd favorite Atelier right next to Orange Sanguine.

If that eau was a song, it would definitely be that one from Sade, Smooth Operator. Beautiful, beautiful neroli wrapped in sensual vanilla, with the galbanum keeping the balance, it's the type of scent you could carry all day and make all the others around you, wondering whether it is a perfume or the smell of your skin..
It is definitely unisex, there is no gender definition in this eau, BUT I do believe that it would work much, much better on a guy. The fragile tenderness this eau possesses needs, allow me to say a masculine skin, to reveal it's excellency.
And ladies, if you smell it on a guy, there's no need to ask. He's a smooth operator...

I love this scent. A real and fresh neroli. Not masculine at al on my skin. A very natural smelling cologne. great for summer.

A decidedly masculine neroli.

The green chypre aspects of this fragrance really balance the flagrantly floral neroli note. Instantly uplifting, with an initial neroli-bergamot blast, the fragrance dries down to a heavier petit grain, oakmoss, galbanum base.

Oh how I wish I could wear it, but the base feels a bit too masculine on my skin. My fiance, on the other hand, is more than happy to wear this new-found gem and I love to smell him in it!!!
