NOLA NEROLI
 
| Orange Blossom + Orris |

from the vintage series

limited microbatch 2025.

NOLA Neroli lives and breathes the French Quarter, but in its glorious, hope-filled era before synthetics and suffocating artificial sweeteners. 

The intoxication of wild bitter orange blossoms tangling with the rough side of life, the late night trysts and the early morning inspirations. A vintage style floral highlighting timeless citrus flower top notes, a full bosomed orange blossom heart, and a creamy, dreamy finish that features my own homegrown orris roots - one of the most expensive natural raw materials on the market for perfumery. I gathered the roots in 2020, carefully sliced and dried them, and let them age to concentrate the irone content. Then they time macerated for the most exquisite orris root extract, providing a slow, intimate drydown to the fragrance without impairing the brightness of the top notes.

While the composition is well rounded with supporting characters and exalting ingredients, my intention was to revel in a neroli and orris forward perfume, so I am choosing only to print those two as the predominant notes. Feel free to let your imagination play. 

Style: Citrus Floral, Vintage, Softly powdered

Strength: Perfume Extrait

Prominent Notes: 

Neroli / Orange Blossom

Orris (Iris) Root, in house

The Personal, The Process, The Gathered

Back in spring of last year we spent a handful of days in the French quarter, fortuitously when the citrus trees were pouring with blossoms. Each soft wind through the old roads proved intoxicating, a floating desire mingling with the debauchery of the streets. 

Being from a home where such precious flowers do not grow, it never ceases to rock my world when I'm able to be immersed in terroir that so generously breeds the most precious materials of my trade. 

I created the basic structure of this perfume while I was there, at the perfumery Tijon where I attended a make your own perfume workshop. In the workshop I utilized a generous helping of heady orange blossom with a decidedly animalic base of artificial civet and castoreum for a raunchy underpinning. Their organ consisted of synthetics with some naturals, and so while I loved what I created, it needed to be re-worked for an all natural formula that put real neroli front and center.
