The landscape of the Cote d'Azur is characterised by its many orange trees, which give off their wonderful, juicy scent. The Bigarade, a specific orange tree, accounts for several precious and often used ingredients in many perfumes. In Cap Néroli, you will find all the elements in a perfect combination: the orange, the leaves and twigs (the essence from which is called Petitgrain) as well as the blossoms are all present. Steam distillation of the blossoms yields neroli, distillation with solvents results in warm and soft orange blossom. 

For the creation of this fragrance, Patricia imagined a place on the French Riviera, the Cap Néroli, an imaginary headland that opens onto the sea.
