BDK Parfums
Villa Neroli
$250
Villa Neroli by BDK Parfums, created by Alexandra Carlin, is a sophisticated celebration of neroli’s multifaceted charm. The top notes of Tunisian neroli, petitgrain, and neroli distill the sparkling bitterness of orange groves, while a heart of orange blossom and Bulgarian rose adds a floral depth and rosy sweetness. In the drydown, warm bourbon vanilla, cashmeran, and ambroxan provide a creamy, comforting veil, enhanced by Madagascan vanilla and Spanish labdanum for a lightly balsamic edge. Underneath, a touch of Indonesian patchouli leaf and green moss contributes an earthy, slightly aromatic undercurrent. The result is a sunlit Mediterranean villa in a bottle—bright and floral with a velvety gourmand finish that lingers on the skin.
