Launched in 2018 by Clean, a brand known for its simple yet delightful fragrances inspired by everyday pleasures like fresh laundry and clean skin, Acqua Neroli is a Floral fragrance that marries the brightness of citrus with the warmth of musk. The composition opens with vibrant notes of bergamot, Sicilian orange, and mandarin orange, which give way to the delicate floral heart of neroli and jasmine. A base of musk, ambrette, amber, and sandalwood adds depth and a subtle sensuality that keeps this scent grounded and inviting.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays to your pulse points for a balanced experience. The citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, so aim for an initial burst followed by the deeper floral and musky layers that take about an hour to fully settle.
