Neroli (1981)
by Czech & Speake

Very orange and citrus (and ordinary) at first hour. But when it settles it becomes a modern decorous soft neroli which does not irritate a neroli hater like me. I found it masculine because we usually meet similar note in aftershaves.

Orange, neroli and ylang-yalng, A classy floral with fruity notes. So plain and pure, it's refreshing and lively but doesn't call attention to itself. Wonderful stuff.

Could be the perfect masculine neroli. It is floral and slightly indolic but not so deep and rich that it crosses into feminine exclusive territory; it retains a little bite of bitter citrus which provides freshness and lightness. It is quite linear and focused, smells like the heart of a very fine traditional eau de cologne with its top notes removed. So good is this heart, it deserves to beat out its rhythm unaccompanied.

Neroli by Czech and Speake is a sharp, very clear neroli fragrance that seems to be minimally mixed with supporting notes. It feels very simple and natural. The simplicity continues through the total run of the fragrance making it is quite linear. The clarity of the neroli accord is captivating, because bitter orange is such an interesting note—it has a bitter sharpness combined with a undercurrent of sweet fruity orangeness. Czesc is right, this is a citrus that doesn’t necessarily belong in the warmth of summer—the crispness of Fall and early Winter in the air is the perfect environment for Neroli. The neroli, in spite of its uniqueness among citrus, does have one thing in common with the rest of its class: It could use more longevity, but, for a citrus, it is not bad. This is a pristine and charming fragrance.

excellent scent for a dry winter's day. goes well with long wool coats, brown leathers etc. I wear it to run weekend errands.
