The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Cap Neroli by Nicolai Parfumeur Créateur, launched in 2018 and crafted by Patricia de Nicolai, is a floral fragrance that balances freshness with warmth. The composition opens with a vibrant blend of petitgrain and rosemary, complemented by orange and bergamot. As it evolves, the scent reveals layers of jasmine and ylang-ylang, supported by hedione for an added brightness. The base notes of oakmoss, musk, and vanilla provide depth without overpowering the lighter top and middle notes.

How to wear it

One or two sprays are enough — the fresh top notes are bright and immediate, while the floral heart unfolds gradually. This fragrance reads better close to skin than from across a room, making it ideal for intimate settings.
