Creed Neroli Sauvage

Mostly bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel. Underneath that, sharp and peppery, more like cracked pepper than baking spice.

It opens on bergamot and grapefruit, moves through verbena and neroli, and settles on ambergris.

• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does
• grapefruit: bitter-fresh citrus, more tart and less sweet than orange

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.
