In scorching summer, yearning for carefree laziness and fleeting floral tranquility
On this gentle afternoon, a soft breeze caresses my senses as I receive the iconic Neroli Amara fragrance from Van Cleef & Arpels. As someone who has always cherished the essence of orange blossom essential oil and its pure distillate, I am genuinely curious about how the perfumer meticulously weaves the delicate notes of orange blossom into this exquisite perfume.
Van Cleef & Arpels, a French luxury jewelry brand with a century-long history, excels in drawing inspiration from floral and botanical elements found in nature for their sculptural jewelry designs. Over the years, they have created numerous exquisite and timeless pieces. Among their most renowned collections is the iconic Alhambra® series, which features the motif inspired by the four-leaf clover.
Having gone through captivating series like ballet dancers, Romeo and Juliet, and lucky four-leaf clovers, the brand’s profound heritage and stories have become legendary.
In the summer garden, the fragrant orange blossoms have always taken center stage, blending the freshness of pears with the sweetness of flower petals.
Before opening the perfume box, that sense of curiosity and joy follows the fragrance, intertwining with imagination.
Although it is an orange blossom perfume, it blends the freshness of Mediterranean citrus with floral and warm notes. Encased in a crystal-clear glass bottle, it radiates a lustrous golden hue.
As you wander through a luxurious garden of gem-like flowers and fruits, you’ll be enveloped in the swirling fragrance reminiscent of forest plantings.
The elegant bottle, like a sunbeam, instantly brightens my mood visually. No matter how low or sleepy my emotions may be, they are instantly uplifted by the bright golden liquid, coalescing into wings of confidence and optimism. 🌼
Shimmering with a full-bodied, golden-orange radiance, this fragrance blends the freshness of Mediterranean citrus with floral and warm notes.
This perfume’s top notes feature lemon zest, Sicilian lemon, sweet orange, and pink pepper. In the heart notes, you’ll find a blend of pepper, cypress, orange blossom, and pear. The resulting fragrance is neither cloying nor overly feminine; instead, it exudes an elegant and uplifting aura, evoking feelings of happiness and warmth.
Everyone seeks happiness in different ways, and I personally find solace in fragrances. When I’m happy, wearing perfume adds an extra boost to my mood and confidence! And when I’m feeling down or anxious, spritzing on a comforting scent directly soothes, calms, and encourages me.
