Neroli perfumes are soft and light-weighted. They are best for summer to control the heat and sweat. As you don’t want heavy perfumes on hot days because it will be too much to handle.
Neroli scents show how to embrace your personality by adding magic. These perfumes are made for dates; especially, the first ones as they are airy, which shows you are delegate but not desperate.
Neroli is one of the notes which have been used the longest to date. It is added to a fragrance so that the fresh aroma stays for a longer period of time. It cuts the artificial tone given by the other notes and makes perfumes smell all-natural and grounded.

Here are the best Neroli perfumes:
Creed Neroli Sauvage
Middle notes are Verbena and Neroli;
Base note is Ambergris.
I had to wait for two years before I could purchase Neroli Sauvage as it was not available for a while where I live. The moment I got the chance, I purchased it in a heartbeat. And when I smelled the juice, I instantly knew the awaited years were totally worth it.
Creed Neroli Sauvage is the best neroli perfume ever made in history in my opinion. When you first spray the scent, it welcomes you with a crisp and refreshing blend of bergamot, grapefruit, and neroli.
Each and every note smells like it is made of nothing but the finest quality of ingredients. This scent will make people think you are a confident and high-class woman who knows what she is doing.
The longevity is not much as it has used all organic ingredients. Neroli oil is very volatile, it cannot stay for too long naturally. But, you buy this fragrance for its luxury and the Creed brand.
WHEN TO WEAR:
Remember to Spray it when you are having brunch outside with your friends and family and just enjoy your time.
WHY YOU SHOULD BUY IT:
- Unisex perfume.
- Natural smelling scent.
- Amazing quality.
- Mature scent10.
L’Occitane En Provence Néroli & Orchidée
Middle notes are Neroli, Fig Nectar, Peach, and Lily-of-the-Valley;
Base notes are Orchid, Musk, and iris.
As my mother really loves the house of L’Occitane, she always used to collect its perfumes. When Neroli & Orchidee was released in 2014, it became one of the best sellers of L’Occitane.
Naturally, my mother wanted this in her collection since its release date. I still remember her smile when she sniffed it for the first time after my father gifted her the bottle. So, now whenever I smell this fragrance, nostalgia hits me hard.
About the fragrance, it starts off with a crisp citrus aroma; however, this aroma does not stay for too long. Neroli comes immediately after that by taking all the attention from other notes. In between, when the neroli allows, you will be able to smell fig and sticky peach.
The scent leans towards more floral when the orchid joins in the path with neroli. The two florals then rule the whole perfume with a pinch of musk to settle it in the dry down. The longevity is moderate with an average projection.

Tom Ford Neroli Portofino
Middle notes are African orange flower, Neroli, Jasmine, and Pittosporum;
Base notes are Amber, Angelica, and Ambrette (Musk Mallow).
Neroli Portofino is a representation of a bottle filled with fresh accords. The color of the bottle being aquatic blue gives a more clear indication that the juice is refreshing and energizing.
As you can see in the notes breakdown, it contains all the citrusy elements. So, of course, it has a citrus opening. However, the one note that takes over all the others is none other than neroli.
Neroli gets a backup from other florals as well such as jasmine and orange flowers to strengthen its floral side. It ends its journey with smooth amber.
I smelt Neroli Portofino for the first time on my aunt. She is an established entrepreneur and this is the vibe this perfume gives. It makes you feel like a confident and independent woman.
The lasting power of Neroli Portofino is quite moderate. It stays for 4 to 6 hours on my skin, if it is sprayed on clothes, it will survive longer.

Diptyque L’Eau De Neroli
Middle notes are Neroli, Orange Blossom, and Egyptian Pelargonium;
Base notes are Beeswax, White Musk, and Cedar.
L’Eau De Neroli is the first neroli perfume I have tried and this perfume is one of the main reasons why I love this note so much. Therefore, it is a great starter if you want to experience a neroli-based perfume for the first time.
The neroli is straight up how it actually smells. It is green, soapy, and sweet. And to sum up the scent, it is folded with rich orientals.
The two notes which provide the most backup to the neroli are lemon verbena and petitgrain. They increase the fresh green aroma of neroli even more.
In the dry down, the beeswax and white musk give warmth to the citrus and neroli combination. After applying L’Eau De Neroli, you will feel refreshed, clean and optimistic.
The longevity and projection is quite moderate.

Neroli 36 starts its journey by smelling slightly sweet and sparkly. At the same time, it is a clean and effervescent scent.
Mandarin orange and vanilla create a magical combination here. They give the fragrance a warm and sweet road to go. This is the part that makes this fragrance very unique. Musk does its job by making the scent clean and bright.
It is not a strong scent. You will get a longevity of 3 to 4 hours.
After that, it is almost a skin scent. So, if you are looking for a perfume that won’t bother others but at the same time you want to smell nice, Neroli 36 would be a safe choice.

Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Sublime EDP
The velvet line of Dolce & Gabbana is a very prestigious line of this perfume house. Velvet Sublime is one of them.
When I first sniffed it in a shop, I mainly caught a big cloud of orange flowers and neroli. These two notes complement each other and provide you with a burst of fresh aroma. It also contains mandarin orange which adds a citrusy tone and energizes the perfume even more.
However, neroli overpowers both of the notes and takes up most of the space.
As the perfume has very few notes, it keeps the scent very simple and straightforward. Such a pleasant smell does not need any transitions as it is beautiful from the very beginning.
Velvet Sublime is a mature scent. The longevity you will receive from it is moderate.

Hermes Eau de Néroli Doré
Middle note is Neroli;
Base note is Saffron.
Are you looking for a neroli scent with a very citrusy opening? Then Eau de Néroli Doré is for you.
The fragrance kicks off with a very fresh and zesty citrus aroma from the bitter orange. The neroli starts to spread its wings in the middle when the citrus has done its work. Although the citrus is never truly gone, it is only backing up the neroli.
It is categorized as a unisex scent, but it is a feminine scent on my nose. There is no age limit to this scent. Anyone can wear it and feel pretty.
I got a longevity of 3 to 4 hours which is moderate. I would suggest you to carry a decant wherever you want to re-apply.
Yes, it does not stay for long but you will smell fresh and clean when you put Eau de Néroli Doré on.
