Bottle drawn in the shade of the fragrance
Néroli Outrenoir
Eau de parfum
A luminous neroli plunged into the shadow of smoked tea: chiaroscuro as a fragrance.
Néroli Outrenoir is inspired by the great black monochromes in which light is born of matter. Neroli, bergamot and petitgrain form a white and green flash, of almost transparent freshness.
Then smoked tea darkens it without putting it out: it gives the fragrance a dry, mysterious depth. An unusual citrus, fresh and solemn at once, for those who like citrus with character.

Néroli Outrenoir in detail
Néroli Outrenoir belongs to L'Art & La Matière, Guerlain's collection in which each fragrance starts from a material and an artistic emotion. It imagines a play of light and shade: a luminous neroli plunged into the shadow of smoky tea, like a white flower glimpsed through dark smoke.
Guerlain lists its notes without sorting them into stages. Neroli, the blossom of the bitter orange tree, brings a floral, slightly bitter light. Bergamot and bitter orange leaves extend this citrus, green freshness. Tea, smoky in the house's reading, is its shadowy side: Volute reads a touch of incense in it, which gives depth to this citrus fragrance.
Néroli Outrenoir is worn by day, from spring to autumn: at the office, while travelling, or on a day when you want a citrus scent out of the ordinary.
Three citrus fragrances in our catalogue come close: Special No. 127 by Floris shares bergamot, bitter orange leaves and neroli; Neroli Portofino by Tom Ford brings together neroli and bergamot; Silver Mountain Water by Creed pairs bergamot and tea.
