Please bring Neroli back! I discovered it 2 years ago and everyone compliments it. Both men & women have stopped me and wrote down the name. I just bought three bottles fearing I will never find it again! Please L'Occitane bring it back!

Please bring Neroli back. It is my mother's favorite scent and she typically goes through several bottles a year. How bizarre to have it so suddenly gone from the shelves and the website with no explanation.

I saw the low rating on this perfume and checked the reviews to see how this wonderful scent could have been given such low 'leaves'.I agree that L'Occitane should listen to its customer base.I bought Ambre and deParie for years.I was so dismayed when they stopped making the scents.I contacted their customer service and got a fairly snide reply.I requested they remove my name removed from their mailing and then received their inter-office memo about removing me!Shoddy.Great scents, but I'm done.

I ordered the neroli without smelling it first and found it way too heavy and sweet. I would run from someone wearing it in the store.

Please bring this scent back. I have one bottle left [that i found on ebay] and then what shall i do? it sounds like a demand remains for this product considering the other pleas in the feedback chain. as many others have noted, this is my signature scent; it is unique, distinct, rich, warm and delicious. I enjoy putting it on every morning. Please bring this scent back - nothing compares!

I also have been very disappointed by L'Occitane. Not only have they stopped making the neroli, which i loved, but the lemon citrus and even more upsetting to me personally was the Ambre. I cannot find any of these fragrances, or even close to the scents, anywhere. I have spent a lot of time and money trying. I will not buy anything from L'occitane as for the simple fact that I don't like any of the current scents. I also feel let down by a company that does not listen to its customer base.

I am rationing my supply of "old" Neroli, on the desperate hope that L'occitane will return this amazing scent to its product line before I run out. Yes, I recovered from the discontinuation of my dear linden honey soaps, but this Neroli change is a much tougher blow.
Like so many others have expressed, the discontinued Neroli is "my" signature scent, and nothing else I've tried compares. Please reconsider!

After reading these testimonials and spending quite a bit of time searching for the jasmine perfume (Egypt)that I bought this year, I now understand why I can't find it. It's a shame that this company is losing its customers, including me. I gave away my perfume to a friend when I moved in July; had I known that L'Occcitane disregards the requests of loyal customers, I would have bought 2 more bottle for myself and not sold other co-workers on the wonderful scent. I'm disappointed in L'Occitane

I am also sad they discontinued this. Especially because a few years back they discontinued another favorite of mine, Neroli Rose. You get attached and then they take it away! I won't shop here any more. TokyoMilk, Anthropologie and Pacifica also offer fresh and natural fragrances and they aren't so abruptly discontinued.

Oh my, cannot believe the original formula is gone! Just went to order another bottle and found it missing from your list. I too, have had strangers stop me to ask what fragrance I was wearing. What a disappointment, please reconsider bringing the Notre Flore, Neroli back.

One more plea to bring back the "old" Neroli. It was unique, distinctive, and I loved wearing it. It always put me in a good mood for the day - or night! What I find very irritating about L'Occitane's decision here is that, in spite of all the comments regretting the change and requesting the return of the original, NO REASON is given for the corporation's decision, adding insult to injury. I, too, am reluctant to consider other L'Occitane products because of this disappointment.

Please bring back the old Neroli!!! This too was my favourite perfume. It not only was my signature perfume ,but I too would get strangers stopping me & asking what I was wearing. I was so proud to tell them which company had made it & what its ingredients consisted of. The sensuality has definately been taken out of the newer version & I would pay anything to have the old version back! Please listen to your loyal customers & find a way to re-create the old version...P

I just received a sample of Neroli - after reading all these reviews I would love to smell the original scent. I actually like this one on me, very sparingly, but I am intrigued by the testimonials about the original version. Why don't you bring it back and simply charge more if that is the issue? Also, I am curious - I have a friend in France who can bring me this. Is it the original scent there or the same?

Honestly, how is it that a company can hear such overwhelming acclaim for a single scent--the old formula of the Neroli perfume--and not bring it back into production? The new Neroli is nothing but a "bath and body works" like version of the original. Now, what we have is a lite and chemical smelling home spray, rather than a perfume. Like the others who have written in pleading to bring back the old formula, I'd stand in line over night to get the old -the original/the real-deal NEROLI.

I am the fan of the original Neroli by L'Occitane, and am dispointed that they discontinued that parfum and changed the packaging, I really love the old vintage packaging, and hope L'Occitane reconsiders bringing the original Neroli back to market.

I got Neroli as an anniversary gift and added it to my L'Occitane collection of Iris and Jasmine. While Iris is still my favorite, Neroli is a beautiful scent. Can be overpowering if too much is applied. I prefer to layer it with another orange blossom scent from Pacifica which has a slightly crisper edge to it. Did L'Occitane change the bottles of the Eu de Parfums? The bottle in the current picture looks very different from the bottle I got. My bottle is more red and has a nicer lid.

Not that you haven't heard it, but the original Neroli was the one product that got me hooked on your company. The original Neroli is to die for and unless it is brought back, I doubt I will be purchasing anything again. I loved that the original version had men and women commenting on how wonderful my perfume was! So sad that you had to go and change it. At least consider offering both versions.

This new version of Neroli does not compare to the prior version. Strangers in elevators would stop me and ask what I was wearing, and rave about this scent. Old Neroli was the best fragrance I ever had. I will not purchase the new one, it does not have the same depth or sensuality as the old one did. I would be willing to pay more to get this back! Please bring the old Neroli back !

When I first smelled this a few months back at the L'Occitane Boutique in my hometown, I just fell in love with the sweet smell of this fragrance! I wanted to test it out before buying it, and was given some samples, and so many people asked me what I was wearing as they too loved the scent! Now I have purchased it! It is my all time favorite Eau de Parfum! It goes great with my entire skin care line of the Apple and Almond.

I will add my two cents--I liked the "old" Neroli much more than this current version. This new product is missing something that when I wore the old version made people ask me what I was wearing!! I suppose it is the neroli essence--but please bring the first version back!!

The original Neroli EDP was so much better than the one being produced now. The new fragrance is too sweet for me; the original was perfect in every way. The decision to get rid of the original formulation has done L'Occitane a severe disservice, especially without consulting the customers. Please, please bring back the original!!!

I haven't tried the "old" Neroli, but I just bought the latest one at L'Occitane in San Francisco, and I love it. I smelled all of the fragrances and this one was my favorite, with The Vert as a close second. It's warm and sensual and citrusy, without being sharp. It's beautiful. I love it! I am curious about the older version now though...why change it if it was so popular?

Please bring back the old Neroli! Though this Neroli is nice, the old formula was the most beautiful fragrance I have ever had. The world would be forever grateful to L'Occitane if we had that fragrance back, and people would definitely be willing to pay a little extra for it. It was absolutely exquisite, a true reflection of the fine products L'Occitane can produce.

I have the old and new Neroli. The old Neroli seems more sensual. I feel it should be worn in cooler weather. The new Neroli is lighter, and not as memorable --to me. But, it seems a good fragrance for warm/hot weather.
I feel the older fragrance is more true to the Neroli moniker.
In the store, the salesperson told me that the new Neroli lasts longer --and that was the reason for the reformulation. I really don't believe that. I feel the older Neroli lasts longer. Bring it back...please!

I too, prefer the 'old' Neroli. When I wore it I was stopped at least once a day (truly) by men and women asking what I was wearing.I was a walking sales pitch for this fragrance! Since wearing the new version of this fragrance not one person has asked me what I'm wearing. Why did you have to change it? I would rather buy the older, smaller version than buy the new larger size for the same price. I have been hording samples of the old fragrance for special occasions.

Please bring back the Original neroli !!!! I understand the cost of producing it are high, but I know customers will pay a bit more. I tried this NEW Neroli,and like the other customers,I won't be buying it either. It is absolutely not the same as the old one. It's not even close. I am almost out of the Original Neroli, and I have been looking all over the internet.... To no avail.... Maybe if we all keep mentioning this in the review, L'occitane will listen and bring it back. Fingers crossed !

Though I never smelled the older version, I love this one. I get compliments on it all the time. It works quite well with me. I was surprised to read the other messages saying it was not a favorite. I have given this to 3 people as a gift and it has been successful! Thanks L'Occitane!

PLEASE BRING BACK THE OLD ONE!! I sprayed some of the old one in the store one day, and could not stop smelling my wrist. Even my husband was completely enamored by the scent. I never smelled anything so good. I went back one week later to buy a bottle only to discover that they had discontinued it and replaced it with THIS! This new one is no good.

I must agree that the description lead me to believe it was the perfect fragrance for me. When I tried it at my local L'Occitane boutique, I couldn't wait to wash it off. WAY too strong and not at all a sensual fragrance as one would be led to believe. I only wish I found L'Occitane earlier so I could have tried the original version. If so many people like that version better, go back to it. I would rather pay $5-10.00 more to get what I want if ingredient prices are the issue.

I purchased this product for a mature woman who wears Obsession for Men by Calvin Klein. Like Obsession for Men, L'Occitane's Neroli is Oriental, woody and spicy. It might remind you of Ciara which was created in 1973 by Revlon. It's beautifully packaged and a generous 2.5 fl oz will go a long way since a spritz of this fragrance will suffice. Definitely a feminine scent with presence and a pleasant, strong character.

I am afraid that I agree with two of the other testimonials. I do not like this version of Neroli as much as the older version. I will not be purchasing this product. It does not have enough of the Neroli scent to it. Therefore, it does not have as rich of a fragrance. Please bring back the older version of Neroli.

This latest offering of Neroli isn't as good as the one that was made a year or two ago. The older one was richer, much more deserving of an Oriental fragrance. Bring the older one back, L'Occitane!

My impression of Neroli Eau de Parfum is quite different, although I agree that it lasts ( in fact I used it for the Winter months);but it does not have the Neroli "note" that I am more usually accustomed to which is a more "aphrodisiac" quality. This is more feminine. I consider that it probably has a very different effect upon women of various body-chemistries.

If you like clean oriental fragrances, this one is very nice! This is clean and crisp, and not too sweet. It smells just like an old favorite that I had been unable to find for years. Since it is an EDP, it lasts for a very long time! And the size is MUCH bigger that typical department store offerings.
