I’m not usually a big lover of neroli, I find if it’s the main component of a fragrance it tends to feel quite boring and flat. Unfortunately I get that with Neroli 36, although it’s still nice don’t get me wrong. This scent is pure white floral with bright, fluffy aldehydes. It’s clean and soapy, elegant and slightly feminine whilst maintaining great balance between the notes and brilliant quality. These all sound like great things, but it lacks depth and character for me. I would’ve loved to see something a bit more adventurous in there to help it stand out from the crowd. However if you’re a pure white floral lover and you’re not looking for anything else, this could be a great option.
