A vibrant, spiced, woody interpretation of neroli
Under the Moroccan sun, high above the clouds, a vibrant, luminous ascent is buffeted by the spiced heat of desert sands, as expressed by turmeric, and cinnamon. Then, across the dunes, the trail alights among powerful, woody notes of vetiver and sandalwood.
THE FRAGRANCE ARTIST’S TOUCH
“If Néroli Plein Sud were a book, it would be a travel diary by Antoine de Saint Exupéry.” Delphine Jelk, Guerlain Perfumer
With Néroli Plein Sud, neroli soars along the trail of Antoine de Saint Exupéry. The aviation pioneer was also a friend of the House. A genuine messenger of the skies, he spent many years flying between Europe and Morocco to deliver mail. These voyages south, related in several of his novels, inspired the Guerlain Perfumers to compose Néroli Plein Sud.
MOROCCAN NEROLI
Flying south, the Guerlain Perfumers found a historic terroir of orange trees, once soared over by Antoine de Saint Exupéry. In Khemisset, Morocco, they discovered a uniquely potent orange blossom drenched in sunlight and shaped by the winds of the Atlas Mountains. Organically harvested and hand-picked at dawn, the flower is steam-distilled on site to obtain a floral, bright, vivid neroli essence. The essence of Néroli Plein Sud.
IN THE PERFUMER’S WORDS
The Guerlain x Antoine de Saint Exupéry collaboration
Guerlain has collaborated with the Antoine de Saint Exupéry Youth Foundation to extend the trail of Néroli Plein Sud into an artistic edition in skyborne shades. Out of this encounter comes a rich array of original drawings sketched by the explorer, while the bottle is adorned with a new plate in a reflective colour gradient, much like the metallic glint of a plane flying at twilight.
