Bvlgari Man Wood Neroli

Mostly bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel. Underneath that, creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full.

It opens on neroli and bergamot, moves through orange blossom, virginia cedar and cypriol oil or nagarmotha, and settles on woody notes, white musk and ambergris.

• neroli: the bright, just-squeezed side of orange blossom: green, clean and faintly bitter
• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
