The Scoop
Libertine Neroli by Francesca Bianchi inaugurates a line of perfumes dedicated to specific raw materials: not simple fragrances, but complex architectures that revolve around the main ingredient.
Neroli is the scent of abundance and abandonment to pleasures. Its fresh and joyful appearance makes you think of the mythical places of Italian summer worldliness, immortalized by films such as Dolce Vita by F. Fellini, Roman Holiday by W. Wyler, and The Talented Mr. Ripley by A. Minghella. Neroli, as any white flower, is tenacious, intense and seductive, and this character is accentuated by an animalic accord that is made to stand out. This neroli accord is nestled in a chypré structure, with oakmoss - green, woody, moist and earthy - and sweet, mellow labdanum. This is counterbalanced by another favorite note of the perfumers--leather. Adding an animalic twist, and creating a refined and elegant contrast with a great character.
