Floral

Neroli smells like a luminous, almost intoxicating burst of fresh orange blossom—imagine pressing your face into a fragrant white flower on a Mediterranean spring morning. It's honeyed and delicate, yet surprisingly bright and slightly bitter, with a creamy, almost soapy undertone. There's a green, slightly peppery edge that prevents it from being purely sweet. It's the scent of a sun-warmed Seville orange grove in full bloom, honeyed yet crisp, floral yet citrusy.

Citrus

Petitgrain smells like a crisp, green-tinged orange—imagine biting into a bitter orange leaf rather than the fruit itself. It's fresh and slightly herbal, with a whisper of hay and fresh-cut grass beneath. There's a clean, almost soapy quality that feels uplifting rather than sweet. If citrus were a garden instead of a fruit bowl, petitgrain would be the leafy green corner where sunlight filters through.
