The Story
Why it exists.
The beginning
Néroli Suprême is a fragrance from Sicili Fragments, created by perfumer Mauricio Cerizza. Its name places neroli at the center of the idea, while the composition expands that familiar citrus-floral register with bergamot, mandarin and bitter orange, then moves through lavender, rosemary, myrtle, African orange flower, jasmine and orange blossom. Amber, angelica and ambrette complete the accord. The result feels less like a neat citrus scent than a polished contrast, with brightness up front and a warmer, more tactile finish underneath.
The combination is where the character lives. Bergamot and bitter orange bring a clear, sparkling opening, while mandarin adds another bright facet to the citrus accord. Lavender and rosemary introduce a herbal, aromatic layer as the fragrance develops, with myrtle adding a deeper green quality. Neroli, African orange flower, jasmine and orange blossom shape the floral heart, keeping the composition expressive without losing its citrus focus. Amber, angelica and ambrette then lend the drydown a soft, warm character.
The evolution
On skin, Néroli Suprême begins with the clean lift of bergamot, mandarin and bitter orange. The first impression is airy and sunlit, with a crisp edge that makes the fragrance feel immediately neat. As it develops, lavender, rosemary and myrtle add an aromatic, herbal dimension, while African orange flower, neroli, jasmine and orange blossom bring a fuller floral pulse. The composition becomes more expressive without becoming heavy, with the citrus brightness continuing to interact with the white and green floral materials. Then the base makes its move: amber, angelica and ambrette give the drydown a warm, softly textured finish. This is where the scent settles into its most distinctive mood, balancing the earlier citrus with the floral heart and gentle base. The trail becomes more intimate as the fragrance wears on, leaving a softly fragrant trace on skin.
Cultural impact
Néroli Suprême expresses the citrus-floral character of Sicili Fragments through a layered composition led by neroli. Bergamot, mandarin and bitter orange establish a luminous opening, while lavender, rosemary and myrtle introduce an aromatic and herbal register. African orange flower, jasmine and orange blossom deepen the floral dimension, and amber, angelica and ambrette soften the drydown. The result invites close attention as its bright opening gradually gives way to a warmer, more enveloping floral trail.

The Creator
Mauricio CerizzaCerizza’s signature technique hinges on contrast and balance. He often starts with a clear, aromatic top—fig leaf, black tea, or fresh citrus—then introduces a smoky or resinous mid‑note such as incense or cedar to create depth.
