In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

AO by Reserved opens with crisp watery notes and crushed green stems. Soft wildflowers pop through the clean aquatic accord, supported by a mild herbal base. Designed for warm summer mornings, this casual eau de toilette provides an easy, low-key scent reset for gym runs or relaxed errands.

Reviews →

James Peterson designed Neroli for the Brooklyn Perfume Company as a refreshing post-shower splash. It focuses entirely on distilled orange blossom rather than citrus pulp or bitter twigs. This unisex eau fraiche works best on hot summer mornings when you want a clean, simple floral breeze that sits close to the skin.
