Néroli Outrenoir
Guerlain L'Art et la Matière · Eau de Parfum (EDP) · 2016
≈ $340 · 125ml · approx. retail
A dark, smoky take on neroli, pairing a bright citrus-and-petitgrain opening with a tea-like orange blossom heart shaded by smoke and myrrh. Sophisticated and unexpectedly deep for a citrus, it dries down into resinous, mossy warmth.
