Launched in 2011 by Atelier Cologne and crafted by perfumer Cecile Hua, Grand Neroli is a Chypre fragrance for unisex wear. The composition opens with bright citrus notes of Amalfi lemon, bergamot, and neroli, creating an invigorating freshness that sets the stage. These are balanced by aromatic and green accords like petitgrain, galbanum, and birch leaf, which add a lush, herbal complexity. As it develops, the fragrance transitions into a heart of white florals with underlying hints of fresh spicy notes, before settling into a base of musk, Madagascar vanilla, and white amber for warmth and depth.
