The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2022 by BDK Parfums, Villa Néroli is the creation of perfumer Alexandra Carlin. This Oriental Floral fragrance marries the brightness of Tunisian Neroli and Petitgrain with the warmth of Bulgarian Rose and Bourbon Vanilla. The composition opens with a zesty burst of citrus that transitions into a lush floral heart before settling into an enveloping woody base. Villa Néroli is neither overly sweet nor too green, striking a balance between freshness and richness.

How to wear it

Apply a light mist to pulse points for an all-day presence. The Tunisian Neroli and Petitgrain top notes are vibrant but fleeting, so allow time for the warm vanilla and woody base to fully emerge.
