Essential Parfums Néroli Botanica Eau de Parfum is a vibrant, sophisticated and modern unisex fragrance created by renowned perfumer Anne Flipo. Launched in 2024, Néroli Botanica places orange blossom and neroli at the heart of the composition, surrounding the luminous white florals with an unexpected blend of ginger, turmeric leaf, pink pepper and black pepper.
Rather than presenting neroli as a simple fresh citrus floral, Anne Flipo gives it a more spicy, green and woody personality. The fragrance opens with an energetic combination of turmeric leaf, ginger and pink and black pepper, creating a fresh, vibrant and subtly spicy introduction.
At the heart, neroli, orange blossom and jasmine sambac reveal a radiant floral character. The orange blossom becomes creamy, solar and elegant, while neroli adds its characteristic green, slightly bitter freshness. Jasmine sambac gives the floral heart additional richness and luminosity.
The dry-down introduces a smooth combination of vetiver and sandalwood, creating a green, velvety woody foundation that balances the brightness of the florals. The result is a fragrance that feels fresh, spicy, floral, green and woody, with considerably more depth than a conventional neroli scent.

The Scent
Néroli Botanica is an excellent choice for fragrance lovers who enjoy neroli, orange blossom and white floral fragrances, but want something more distinctive than a traditional citrus-floral perfume.

The overall impression is radiant, fresh, spicy and elegant, making Néroli Botanica particularly easy to wear while still offering enough personality to stand apart from mainstream fresh fragrances.
