Golden Neroli
by Abel
Golden Neroli by Abel is a delicate, naturally crafted citrus-floral fragrance that opens with bright neroli and tea, blending seamlessly into a supple core of ylang ylang, jasmine, and gentle green notes. It evokes a sunlit morning kitchen—clean, uplifting, and softly sweet with vanilla and sandalwood, creating a vibe reminiscent of Chanel #5 in its golden era. The scent is not overpowering, with minimal projection and a lively but fleeting presence, vanishing within 90 minutes under typical conditions. Despite its natural composition and elegant balance, the scent is widely reported to be incredibly short-lived, with few users noting any lasting trace beyond a few hours.
Pros
- +Delicate and refreshing opening with neroli, tea, and citrus that feels pure and natural
- +Soft, creamy floral heart featuring ylang ylang, jasmine, and a hint of green complexity
- +Perfect for warm days, sensitive noses, and those seeking a light, articulate, natural scent akin to high-quality colognes
Cons
- −Extremely short-lived, with nearly no trace remaining after under two hours
- −Weak sillage and projection make it impractical for those wanting a lasting impression
- −Limited practicality at current pricing, which many feel is not justified given performance
