I know people say the neroli scent is supposed to be light and somewhat citrus-like (someone even said it smells like men’s cologne), but for whatever reason, all the sprays I’ve used with neroli in it smell like strong, flowery women’s perfume. Maybe I have a sensitive/unususal olfactory system, and it really smells like orange to everyone else around me. It smells like strong perfume to me. Am I the only one who finds this the case? ---

Is [Neroli](https://a314.com/product-category/scented/androtics-neroli/) the default scent in the to-go sizes? ---

Hmmm. . . it doesn’t really smell like oranges to me for some reason. I can’t really explain the scent though. I’m kind of new to the whole perfuming world. The scent just doesn’t strike me as citrus. ---

[Neroli](https://a314.com/product-category/scented/androtics-neroli/) smells like fermented or sour oranges to me. Very unpleasant indeed, but easily covered with a good cologne. ---

Yeah, I know quite a few women like their [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/) chocolate scented, but I’m not sure I really want to wear a fragrance that smells like chocolate. That would just make me hungry and a little awkward. Not really my type of scent. I kind of like the neroli, primarily because it is so easy to cover with my own perfume. Quite honestly, I’m surprised I like Love Potion Pink so much, since it smells like cotton candy to me. I usually go for more flowery or fruity scents than food. I know it’s a food, but vanilla is my favorite so far. . . 😃 What types of scents do you guys like on a woman? ---

Well, let me preface by saying any smell, no matter how good or bad, can be ruined if there’s too much of it. Again, it might be my sensitivity, but I commonly find women shower themselves in their scent, so 10 minutes after they leave a room, it still reeks. When it’s a smell that i don’t like, it’s even worse. So, too much perfume=bad. I actually sort of like the neroli smell as a scent, it just doesn’t smell like the way it’s been described to me. Citrus-based scents and flowery scents are nice on women. Grapefruit being my favorite. There’s this one perfume that came out in the winter (January?) that was amazing. I was walking through the Macy’s cosmetic section (it was for a class project–I swear!) and a woman handed me a strip with the perfume sprayed on. It has a tropical theme on the box: bright pink, a stylized woman holding something, lots of colors (anyone know?)…anyway, it was amazing! It reminds me of a tropical summer day. Passionfruit, grapefruit/some citrus, and a few other scents I couldn’t figure out (I’m pretty new to scents and perfumery/cologne). I stood there sniffing the paper for a good five minutes and I was tempted to buy a small bottle just so I could smell it, it was that good! Just thinking about it makes me happy and funnily enough, it’s that kind of smell that makes my mouth water, not in a perverted way–it’s just the kind of scent that you want to drink in and experience. ---

> [@Gegogi](#): > > Neroli smells like fermented or sour oranges to me. Very unpleasant indeed, but easily covered with a good cologne. See, I don’t find anything citrusy about neroli when i smell it, good or bad. It’s strong at first, but does wear off after a while. ---

I had a feeling more men liked more fruity/citrus scents. I remember in high school I was wearing a berry scented deodorant and a guy friend of mine practically had his nose in my armpit cuz he liked the smell so much. Lol. ---

I don’t think neroli smells anything like typical citrus fruit, e.g., grapefruit, lime or lemon. Rotten fruit (I said fermented oranges to be kind) is more characteristic of its scent. However: > [@](#): > > ner·o·li > n. > An essential oil distilled from orange flowers and used in perfumery. It does sorta have a citrus origin. I really love the smell of citrus fruits: grapefruit, lime, lemon, tangerine, etc. I wish AD used actual grapefruit or tangerine EO instead. It would blend well with Burberry Weekend, CK One Summer, Chrome, Issey Miyake Summer, etc. ---

I do not really care for the neroli scent either. I would rather even the stronger products be unscented and cover them with my cologne. I always seem to smell the neroli scent even trhough any cologne I use.
