Diptyque’s take on neroli is both hypnotic and familiar. Calabria at the time of the neroli harvest is the setting and the inspiration for this fragrance—a time when the scent of nearby bergamot crops, pollen, and cut green leaves combine with neroli and fill the air. Composed by master perfumer Olivier Pescheux in 2008, it sits in the citrus/aromatic olfactive family of fragrances, with effervescent top notes of tarragon, citruses, lemon, verbena, petitgrain, and bergamot. Orange blossom, Egyptian pelargonium, and neroli form its sun-soaked centre on a bed of honeyed base notes including beeswax, cedar, and white musk. A subtle and elegant crowd-pleaser.
