Neroli Sauvage Creed for women and men

This is a very nice summer scent. With that being said, I have only purchased it once, which was 7 years ago. It is unisex, but I can see where it can be more masculine. There is a note that I cannot detect, but it is more for a man than a woman. Otherwise, it is a nice summer scent.

Neroli Sauvage is a nice fresh citrusy floral. Neroli is beautiful here, smells a bit herbal to me. Contrary to some reviews, I do not see it being too feminine, but probably unisex. Very appealing to wear during summer, although it is suitable pretty much for any weather.

I liked Neroli Sauvage even before my passion for neroli, but compared to other scents on the same type I'm sorry to say it is not lasting at all! It seems to fade away from my skin within minutes! Same with Spring Flower :-(
The scent itself is very fresh almost pungent and I would say even masculin. Nice for a hot summer day, but at that price???

*Thank you to Nattonline and Lana Lool who BOTH sent me samples of this interesting and wonderful scent*

NEROLI SAUVAGE (or "wild bitter orange blossom") is truly wonderful. Not because it is complex or all that daring and groundbreaking, but for its simplicity and quiet elegance. On first applying it, all I could smell was ALCOHOL...this evaporated in a flash (literally) and the scent of tart bitter grapefruit and clear sharp bergamot greeted my nostrils. This is a citrusy scent, however there is something else in here; something almost "vintage" in the way it FEELS (like an old school fougere almost, but not quite). As it begins to smooth out, dry neroli and warm orange flowers blend to create a very unisex aroma framed with a beautiful verbena scent. Now it is more subtle (than sauvage) but utterly gorgeous. More floral than citric, with just enough "green" to be down to earth. It is almost like walking through a citrus grove in bloom, on a VERY hot day (so the scent hangs heavy but itself is NOT) as a warm wind caresses you and the sun shines on your face. The warm (almost powdery) amber gives it a very comfortable ending and it rests softly, but persistently, on my skin. Many citrus scents fade quickly, and my skin is notorious for eating light springlike florals; but here all the players get "equal time" and after the citruses begin to fade, then the blossoms fall off (as blossoms will) and the utter beauty of the surrounding greens and sweet crumbly resin remain close to the skin with a clean and comfortable scent. Despite the "floral" name, NS is good for anyone; and if you are looking for something nice, not too loud but still natural and refreshing with quality and a hint of nostalgia...you may like this one. I do...I just wish it "stuck around" longer!

Sillage: okay
Longevity: fleeting
Overall: 3.5/5

Is this worth the full price of a bottle at retail? Well...that depends: if you are buying for projection and longevity, probably NOT; however, if you want something that is amazingly natural smelling and utterly gorgeous...then YES! NEROLI SAUVAGE, to me, is more something I would wear for a "pick-me-up" scent and my own private pleasure, as opposed to something that makes a statement or garners compliments.

not for men. has a more feminine appeal.

Creed NEROLI SAUVAGE is a cheerful, clean and refreshing aromatic which would be great for the hot summer just around the bend!

Neither very wild, nor very neroli, however, NEROLI SAUVAGE opens with a bright burst of bergamot tempered with a bit of grapefruit. The drydown is very smooth and lightly floral with low sillage and, as advertised, suitable for gents and dames, guys and dolls, lads and lassies. Hermaphrodites and transvestites, too!

From the name one might have expected--I certainly did--a heavier presentation of neroli. Not so. I actually found the opening neroli of FANTASIA to be much more pronounced than that of NEROLI SAUVAGE!

Quibbles over the name aside, I find NS to be a pleasant, entirely enjoyable and wearable aromatic floral. Unfortunately, the beauty is shortlived, so I won't be adding this happy omnisex splashable frag to my collection.

a delicious, well blended and citrus scent from the house of Creed, i really love this... love creed... Luca Turin is a crazy guy, these are really masterpieces for me...

Although it's not very creative or original, Neroli Sauvage is a superb citrus fragrance. It starts with a giant blast of what smells like oranges and oakmoss, which instantly makes you feel cheerful. The citrus lasts about an hour, drying down to a very nice sandalwood and oakmoss accord. My only complaint is that Neroli Sauvage only lasts about 4 -5 hours on my skin, and that's with 6 or 7 spritzes. However, this is definitely a worthy purchase, as the materials it's made of seem to be of exquisite quality. It's one of the best citrus fragrances I've ever smelled, right up there with Eau Sauvage and Eau du Sud. I'd give it an 8 out of 10.
