Neroli Woods is a clean, effervescent neroli fragrance with a delicate balance of citrus, white floral, and subtle woody notes. It opens with a bright, clean neroli and citrus burst, enhanced by peony, frangipani, and a hint of solar amber, creating a refined, sunscreen-like freshness. The dry-down reveals a soft, powdery musk with cedar, sandalwood, and ebony, lending subtle depth and staying power without dominating the composition. It's unisex in character, though some find it leaning toward feminine due to its refined floral core and delicate sillage. The scent performs best in warm weather—daytime use is common, and it wears best on clothing, where it lingers softly. Reviews consistently praise its quality and value, especially for under $25, noting it's one of the most accessible dupe options for higher-end neroli fragrances like Tom Ford Neroli Portofino or Ermenegildo Zegna Mediterranean Neroli, though it lacks projection and lasts just a few hours before fading to a skin scent.
