Hasbaya is a city in Lebanon, and Néroli Hasbaya is inspired by a Lebanese dessert called mouhalabieh, a milk pudding flavoured with orange blossom and pistachio. This extrait opens with incandescent neroli, wrapped in nutty’n’buttery hints of pistachio and almond. Orange blossom reveals its full depth in the base, and the creamy richness of sandalwood and Peruvian balsam enhance the enfolding trail of this radiant perfume.
Perfumer: Céline Perdriel
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the scent of close conversation in warm light, when the air still carries a little heat and the room smells faintly of sweets and blossom water. It projects a polished, intimate sweetness rather than a loud gourmand effect, making it feel refined, inviting and quietly memorable.
How to wear
Best in mild to cool weather, or on evenings when you want the floral sweetness to stay creamy rather than sharp. Apply a modest amount: the extrait concentration gives it good presence, and the neroli-pistachio opening blooms quickly before settling into a soft, sandalwood-backed trail on skin.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like orange blossom with a gourmand twist, especially scents that feel luminous, creamy and lightly nutty rather than syrupy. It will appeal to people who enjoy refined florals, edible nuances and a modern unisex composition with a soft, elegant finish.

The nose
Céline Perdriel. A recurring creative voice for Atelier Materi, Perdriel is known for composing with clarity and texture, often giving a central material a tactile, modern shape rather than burying it in excess. Her work for the house tends to balance radiance with restraint, which suits Néroli Hasbaya’s bright floral-gourmand profile. Atelier Materi’s orange blossom story gives her a natural canvas: here she turns neroli into something airy yet edible, using almond, pistachio and creamy woods to deepen the flower without weighing it down. The result reflects her strength in making compositions feel both polished and emotionally direct.
Collaborators
Véronique Le Bihan, Atelier Materi’s founder, shaped the concept and narrative brief, framing the fragrance as a rich, comforting orange blossom inspired by Levantine pastries and Lebanese culture. Céline Perdriel translated that vision into the finished formula, building the scent around neroli, almond and pistachio with a creamy woody base.
Atelier Materi’s story
Atelier Materi builds its perfumes around a single raw material, treating each composition as a study in texture, depth and contrast. The house favors discreet, contemporary luxury: precise, material-led, and crafted with an emphasis on authenticity rather than display.
Néroli Hasbaya’s concept
Néroli Hasbaya was created as an olfactory journey to Lebanon, with Hasbaya lending the fragrance its name and Levantine pastry culture providing the emotional frame. The inspiration is specifically gourmand: a nod to mouhalabieh, the milk pudding flavored with orange blossom and pistachio, reimagined through a bright neroli accord and creamy woods.
Extra info
The name refers to Hasbaya, a historic town in Lebanon. The fragrance is part of Atelier Materi’s extrait de parfum line and is built around a dessert reference rather than a literal landscape portrait. Its note structure includes bitter almond, pistachio, orange blossom absolute and white sandalwood essence.
