Nabeul Neroli

Orange flower with the green left in.

The flower comes cool, closer to the peel than the petal, and juniper berry and black pepper get in ahead of it with a gin-like snap. Green tea and violet leaf run bitter beside it. The olive reads savoury, the way a jar of brine smells. Jasmine sambac turns indolic and narrow. Rose and red champaca stay dry and papery. Then leather, thin and a little sour. Patchouli and cabreuva wood come through resinous.

Amer Perfumes is a small independent house. Amer Alradhi founded it and creates every release, sourcing the ingredients from around the world, and the work sits between Arabian fragrance heritage and modern olfactory artistry. The materials run to Taif rose, Thai agarwood, Indian and Indonesian sandalwood, Azerbaijani and Bulgarian rose, and an aged South Thailand agarwood oil.

Alradhi calls each new release a very personal project, and one of them took nearly two years to finish, using many precious and expensive natural materials including flowers, agarwood and sandalwood. The work is story-driven, built on craftsmanship, authenticity and refined blending, and every release carries a strong identity and close attention to detail. Everything is crafted with care from high-quality ingredients, and the line goes from bright citrus florals to heavy aged oud.
