L’Occitane Neroli & Orchidee Eau de Toilette Review
L’Occitane Neroli & Orchidee Eau de Toilette is an explosion of full-bodied, feminine fruity florals, softened with calming musk.
The popular bath and body care collection also features a hand cream, body milk and shower gel, all delicately scented with the powdery sweet fragrance of Neroli and white orchid. Let’s get into how it smells and feels…
What Does It Smell Like:
This beautiful fruity floral aroma will have you coming back for more. It was love at first spritz for me. I can’t get enough of intoxicating powdery floral scents, and this perfume strikes the perfect balance between playful and sophisticated.
It opens with invigorating orange and mandarin, before rolling into heady neroli, lily of the valley and juicy peach. Finally, the sweet redolence of intoxicating orchid, comforting musk and iris leave a lasting impression. It’s an alluring combination of radiant Neroli and caressing white orchid.
Perfumes That Smell Similar Are…
Whilst sampling this fruity floral fragrance for the first time, I couldn’t help but notice how much it reminded me of Love Story by Chloe. After doing my research into the similar scent, I discovered that they share prominent notes of Neroli and musk and possess very similar powdery, white floral accords. So if you’re a big fan of Love Story by Chloe, I’m sure you’ll love Neroli & Orchidee Eau de Toilette.
Neroli & Orchidee Eau de Toilette’s Longevity…
Although this fragrance is an Eau de Toilette, its power and longevity are impressively strong. Fruity bursts of orange and heart notes of peach linger delicately on the skin throughout the day as the aroma fades into a world of luxurious powderiness.
This is not a shy perfume and is noticeable to others within a short distance from you, so expect lots of compliments.
Neroli & Orchidee Eau de Toilette Wears Well During…
The feminine, addictive aura of Neroli & Orchidee Eau de Toilette combines delicate orange blossom – which appears in the French region Grasse during the spring – and orchid, which blooms there in the fall. This is a versatile fragrance with the capability to be worn all year round.
Neroli & Orchidee Eau de Toilette’s Design and Aesthetic Is Special Because…
You can tell that the bottle and packaging were designed with the elegant simplicity of the scent in mind. A beautiful floral design is etched into the glass of the bottle, taking precedence over the label, which sits unassumingly at the bottom of the front side. The design is prominent on both the bottle and the light pink coloured outer packaging.

My Overall Experience
Spraying this Eau de Toilette on my skin was as comforting as curling up under a blanket. The classically feminine aura combines luminous fruity, floral and musky notes to ensure a certain softness that smells luxurious on the skin. I loved the scent so much that I went wild and absolutely covered my bathroom in it, which created a relaxing haven whilst I bathed.
