Creed Neroli Sauvage Eau De Parfum

Creed Neroli Sauvage Eau de Parfum was launched in 1994 and crafted by Olivier Creed, representing the house’s tribute to the radiant freshness of Mediterranean citrus. The fragrance was inspired by the 17th-century Duchess of Nerola, who famously perfumed her gloves and bath with neroli essence, making it a fashionable scent of the time. Neroli Sauvage is a unisex fragrance that leans slightly masculine, offering a refined and timeless character that is crisp, clean, and effortlessly elegant—perfect for warmer seasons or formal daytime settings.

The top notes open with a luminous bouquet of citrus fruits, including bergamot, lemon, grapefruit, bitter orange, and neroli. These components work in harmony to create an uplifting and effervescent beginning that immediately evokes sunshine and sea breeze. The neroli—floral, green, and honeyed—stands out with its freshness, adding a subtle complexity to the otherwise zesty introduction.

At the heart of the fragrance is a smooth, single floral note of orange blossom. This core layer enhances the neroli’s charm with a deeper, more rounded sweetness. The orange blossom lends a white floral character that is both airy and bright, gracefully bridging the lively citrus opening with the softer base.

The base note of ambergris offers a clean, musky warmth with hints of marine nuance. It gives the fragrance a long-lasting, skin-like finish that is both sensual and refined. The ambergris doesn’t overpower the fragrance but instead anchors the brightness of the top and heart notes with a gentle, salty sophistication that lingers close to the skin.
