Tomboy Neroli / 65

About This Fragrance

Tomboy Neroli / 65 by Parle Moi de Parfum is an eau de parfum built around neroli, orange blossom, and amber. The house frames it through the image of a white T-shirt, faded jeans, and sneakers: clean, relaxed, and deliberately free from rigid gender codes. The fragrance belongs to the fresh floral-citrus family, but its appeal is not only brightness. A green, slightly bitter neroli opening is balanced by a white floral heart and a soft amber drydown.

Scent Profile

The opening centers on neroli, with a green bitterness that can suggest bitter orange blossom, cut grass, pine-like sharpness, and a dry gin-like freshness. As the perfume settles, orange blossom adds a cleaner white-floral texture: more laundered fabric and white shirt than sweet bouquet. The base is amber, with a transparent warmth that keeps the scent close to the skin rather than pushing it toward a heavy resinous trail. The result is a clean neroli with texture: fresh, soapy, slightly bitter, and quietly warm.

Story and Character

The number 65 refers to the trial number that led to the final formula, a detail that fits Parle Moi de Parfum's practice of attaching numbers to finished compositions. Michel Almairac's concise style is central here. Instead of building a crowded citrus-floral perfume, the composition focuses on a short structure and polishes the balance between green neroli and skin-like amber.

Who It's For & When to Wear It

This fragrance suits people who enjoy neroli but do not want a standard Mediterranean cologne, and people who like white florals but prefer less sweetness and less overt femininity. It works especially well in spring, summer, and early autumn, during the morning or daytime, with casual clean clothing and close-range settings. Those looking for strong sweetness, a dramatic floral bouquet, or heavy projection may find it too understated.
