How it behaves in a formula
Across this library, Neroli appears 1 time as a top note, 2 times in the heart and 0 times in the base. Placement is the single best predictor of what you will actually smell: top-note materials are high-volatility and gone within the hour, base-note materials are fixatives that define the final and longest phase of the wear.
Compositions containing Neroli in this library average 7.7 hours of documented longevity, and skew toward spring and summer wear. Treat that as a tendency of the citrus family rather than a property of the material alone — dose, supporting accord and concentration all move the result.

Acqua di Gio
Aromatic Aquatic · Men
Composed by master perfumer Alberto Morillas in 1996 and inspired by the pristine volcanic cliffs of Pantelleria island, Acqua di Gio revolutionized masculine fresh perfumery by establishing the benchmark for aquatic aromatics. The opening presents a sun-drenched collision of Mediterranean citrus fruits—crisp lime, lemon, and bergamot—immediately tempered by watery marine accords and synthetic calone that recreate the exact sensation of sea spray hitting warm skin. The intricate heart blends aromatic rosemary and crisp floral notes with green undertones, preventing the fragrance from becoming a simple aquatic clone. As time passes, the composition settles into a clean, unpretentious base of white musk, cedar, and subtle patchouli. It is an enduring classic praised for its effortless versatility, making it a reliable staple for warm weather wear without ever feeling intrusive or overly synthetic.

Neroli Portofino
Citrus Aromatic · Unisex
Formulated by Rodrigo Flores-Roux in 2011, Neroli Portofino captures the cool breezes, sparkling clear waters, and lush foliage of the Italian Riviera. The fragrance opens with a vibrant, invigorating splash of crisp citrus notes including bergamot, lemon, and mandarin orange, spiked with aromatic rosemary and lavender. The heart blooms into a lush, clean bouquet of rich neroli and orange blossom. The base settles into a soft, smooth trail of amber and ambrette. It is the epitome of effortless Mediterranean summer luxury and timeless coastal elegance.

Imagination
Citrus Aromatic · Men
Composed by Jacques Cavallier in 2021, Imagination transforms traditional citrus-aquatic themes into a deeply modern work of art centered around high-end ambergris and tea notes. The scent opens with a sharp, sparkling, and ultra-clean burst of citron and bergamot. The spiced heart introduces vibrant Nigerian ginger and neroli. The defining feature is the dry-down, which blends airy ambroxan with smoky Chinese black tea and guaiac wood, creating a clean, magnetic, and ethereal trail that has achieved massive cult status worldwide.
