Nektar
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A truly gorgeous, comforting amber that's not afraid of a bit of spice and a fresh aromatic kick. It's divisive only because some say its performance is poor, but the scent itself is a hug in a bottle.
Nektar is a divisive beast: some rave about its sublime blend of aromatic warmth and gourmand sweetness, others recoil from what they perceive as a synthetic mess. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it scent that commands attention, for better or worse.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its strong projection and sweet, dense profile make it less suitable for quiet office environments. Nektar truly shines on a date or formal occasion where its complex, warm accords can create a memorable presence without being overpowering if applied judiciously.
