Transport yourself to the South of France with this enchanting unisex fragrance.
Known for its picturesque lavender fields and stunning coastline vistas, the South of France embodies many layers of love. There, the sunlight takes on a magical quality, patisseries fill the air with the aroma of sweets, and you can hear the sounds of laughter and wine glasses clinking late into the night. So when our VP of Ops, Ines Guien, set about planning her wedding, she knew that only the South of France would do. Not only is it the place where her family has its roots, but it also connects to her life in New York and her career with Dossier.
To make the occasion even more special, the Dossier Creative Lab created Neroli Romance, the perfect wedding perfume––first for Ines and, now, for anyone shopping as part of our Dossier Originals collection––for just $34.

What Does Neroli Romance Smell Like?
As its name would suggest, Neroli Romance opens with the bright, citrus floral note of Neroli with a kiss of gourmand sweetness from the salted caramel and hazelnut accord. The heart of the fragrance is the fields of the South of France in a bottle-–lavender, orange blossom, and a touch of violet for a fresh floral scent that represents a traditional Southern French wedding bouquet. Neroli Romance dries down to base notes of vetiver, patchouli, vanilla, and ambroxan for a scent that feels warm, earthy, and sweet––like a long-lasting embrace from someone you choose to love every day.

Discover Neroli Romance: Our Most Romantic Perfume Yet
We’re entering our romantic era on June 6th’s Dossier Drop Day, courtesy of Neroli Romance’s love notes of lavender, orange blossom caramelized hazelnut and salted caramel. It’s a unisex scent with masculine and feminine qualities that read sweet, seductive, and elegant.
The botanicals in this fragrance were specifically chosen to honor the rich wedding traditions of the South of France, where brides often wear orange blossoms in their hair or carry bouquets of lavender; both flowers symbolize luck and happiness for the newlyweds. The notes of salted caramel and hazelnut recall iconic French desserts, such as the croquembouche—a pyramid of puff pastries bound together by strands of caramel.
To create this sumptuous blend of floral and gourmand notes, the Dossier Creative Lab team between France and NYC chose to rework our #1 bestselling Dossier Originals fragrance, Caramelized Lavender & Hazelnut—but with a Neroli-forward focus.
