Parfums de Nicolai Cap Neroli ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 7 February 2018 21 Comments

Parfums de Nicolaï Cap Néroli

French niche line Parfums de Nicolaï has launched Cap Néroli, a new fragrance.

‘Cap Néroli ‘on the French Riviera’ is a tribute to the bitter-orange cultivation of the Côte d’Azur. I imagined the scent of a point of land running into the sea and having the sweet name of Cap Néroli!’ Patricia de Nicolaï.

This Eau de Toilette is a three-act play performed in a natural setting, like an open-air theatre perched on a hill plunging into the Mediterranean. The overture is a ballet of citrus enhanced with rosemary and mint, while a prelude of bitter-orange petitgrain essence heralds the arrival on stage of the majestic Neroli flower. Small in stature but powerful in scent, this radiant bloom is escorted by a bouquet of jasmine, ylang and eau de Brouts which come together in a delicated-paced choreography. Oakmoss, plus a hint of musk and amber, provide a finale like a bottle cast into the sea with an intoxicating message inside.

Parfums de Nicolaï Cap Néroli is available in 30 and 100 ml, or in a 15 ml refillable spray with 250 refill.

    Sounds good! Need to give it a try. I just hope it is not fleeting.

      I don’t mind if it’s fleeting — it has shot to the top of my want list!

          No — just mean that it sounds very appealing to me. I usually like her lighter florals.

    I saw this from their Instagram yesterday. I’m excited, since I’m a huge fan of Mme de Nicolaï, and the notes just sing to me. I would have gone to try it if it weren’t snowing…

    Oh that sounds good! I’m a PdN fangirl anyway, but that sounds perfect for summer. This summer.

    This does sound really nice for summer. I definitely want to try it at some point, especially if I can’t make it to the French Riviera any time soon. Sigh.

    This is like the Armie Hammer of perfume: Every sunny, pretty note all wrapped up in a beautiful package. I think I NEED THIS.

    Oh wow! Never enough nerolis, and Nicolai definitely has a way with airy compositions.

      Another product of the bitter orange tree, similar to petitgrain.

      Perfume Shrine has a wonderful post that explains different materials from bitter orange trees: http://perfumeshrine.blogspot.fr/2011/04/perfumery-materials-neroli-petit-grain.html (I hope it’s okay to post links here!)

    Mmmmm, I’m afraid I’m in grave danger of blind buying this in the 30ml size . . .

    I will buy this, I know. I would love to have some right now, I’m craving summer somehow. The weather is cold here, but we’ve finally got some sun! The notes sound interesting, I think this will be darker than her last summer eaux, but I’ve loved all of them so far.

    It’s been some years since I was in the Nicolai shop in London’s Fulham Road, but relatively recently I became aware there’s a second branch quite close to Marble Arch, which is now on my list for annual December trip. I wore Le Temps d’Une Fete, in both its incarnations, a long time ago. Hopefully in December I can catch up with all the output since my last foray.

    Made a blind buy and had a bit of a shock on first spray. Ashtray smell. Jaiks! Realized later that that was the oakmoss (Chanel Cristalle also smells like ashtray on me…).
    Wonderfull dry down luckily and I got what I wanted: a neroli “with something extra”. ????????????
