Essenze line from Zegna is a good choice, no? Maybe not the Peruvian Ambrette

I made a blind purchase of Zegna's Mediterranean Neroli today. It's a new addition to the Zegna's Essenze line.

Boss, how do you find the Neroli's smell? How does it compare to Bergamot?
Still can't find Neroli in shops.

Loves Neroli better than Bergamot. Neroli is like a stronger, more darker and bitter version of it.

Thanks for the feedback. You do have a great sense of smell as I only sensed the slight bitterness as compared to the Bergamot, everything else is the same. Tested from the box samples they have counters.

Did you try Sicilian Mandarin? It's lighter than both, in my opinion. You may like it.

Yes, I have tried Sicilian Mandarin but it's not to my liking, as you mentioned, it's a bit on the light side. My preference is more on the Indonesian Oud sort of sillage, am I wrong to use that word? Don't quite fancy the "orangy" smell of it too, & perhaps that's why I never liked Terre D'Hermes even though its mightily popular.

You guys really have exquisite taste in fragrances, such rarities for scents used.
