Signed by Alexandra Carlin and launched in April 2022, Villa Néroli is the third Azur opus from BDK Parfums: a floral amber inspired by Capri, in which neroli, petitgrain and Verdelli lemon lead to an orange blossom absolute softened by Bulgarian rose, finishing with vanilla, vetiver, patchouli and labdanum.
Floral and amber according to the house, Villa Néroli opens on Tunisian neroli and Calabrian Verdelli lemon, lifted by Paraguayan petitgrain, between warmth and freshness. Alexandra Carlin attributes its citrus tartness to neroli essence combined with Nerolione, a powerful molecule with a clean scent.
Orange blossom and rose
According to Alexandra Carlin, neroli quickly gives way to Moroccan orange blossom absolute, denser and fleshier, whose honeyed, hay-like facets echo the Bulgarian rose. The house speaks of rosy notes accompanying the orange blossom.
Balms and minerality
For the base, the perfumer blends Spanish labdanum and a Madagascan vanilla absolute into balms and resins, with Madagascan vetiver and Sulawesi patchouli. She adds a trio of ambrox, moss and cashmeran for the salty minerality of the Faraglioni.
