Néroli Facètie
by Roger & Gallet
Néroli Facètie by Roger & Gallet is a bright, uplifting citrus-floral fragrance that captures the essence of a Mediterranean summer morning. It opens with zesty bergamot and radiant orange blossom, blended with fresh green and aromatic notes, creating an effervescent and natural-smelling composition. The heart is a soft, creamy blend of white florals—jasmine sambac, ylang-ylang, and immortelle—giving it a perfumed yet subdued warmth. The base features subtle woody and earthy notes of cedar, vetiver, and angelica, grounding the fragrance with a soft, salty, and slightly vanillic drydown that adds depth and a unique beachy nuance. The overall effect is elegant and linear, with a soft, luminous character that feels both refreshing and comforting, like sun-drenched skin after a dip in the sea.
Pros
- +Highly natural and floral character with a bright citrus and salty aroma
- +Excellent longevity on skin and clothing, far surpassing typical neroli compositions
- +Perfectly suited for spring and summer, ideal for daytime and warm weather
Cons
- −Strong sillage can be overwhelming and may cause discomfort or headaches for sensitive individuals
- −Some users perceive a soapy or shampoo-like drydown that turns artificial on certain skin types
- −The fragrance is less suitable for evening wear or colder seasons due to its skin-temperature sensitive projection
