Not the best neroli cologne...
I must agree to some extent with Gold on Yves Rocher UN MATIN AU JARDIN - AGRUMES EN FLEURS. There really is something off with the opening of this composition. I catch wafts of dirty dishwater amidst the neroli and orange blossom (which I do smell some of...). The interplay of the citrus then generates the scent of some kind of toilet bowl cleaner. It must be the thyme which is conspiring with the citrus top notes and the mysterious "sweet notes" of the base to produce a used bathroom scent--for lack of a better phrase.
I find that after a couple of minutes the toilet cleaner vibe subsides a bit, making this an okay neroli cologne, along the lines of Mauer & Wirtz 4711. But since I don't think that AGRUMES EN FLEURS is better than 4711, and the latter costs even less than the former (which isn't much, by the way), there's no real reason to use this one instead, even if one is capable of holding one's breath through the unpleasant opening.
