All of Europe spoke of the Duchess of Nerola's open-air receptions during which the guests crushed neroli flowers against their skin, thus delivering a captivating odor. From this luxuriant atmosphere emanated a sweet odor, between perfume and music. The freshness of citrus fruits gives way to the sensuality of neroli, freesia and Ylang-Ylang. Finally, the warmth of amber, cedar and musk, transcribe this atmosphere.
