Commodity Nectar is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Mathieu Nardin. Nectar opens with Pomelo, Bergamot, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Neroli, Cedar, and Honeysuckle, and dries down to a base of Musk, Orange Blossom, and Vetiver. Commodity's Nectar carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Commodity Nectar is a divisive beast: some hail it as a glorious, natural honeysuckle and citrus burst, while others find it a synthetic, bitter headache in a bottle. If you like bold white florals and enjoy that zesty rind-like bitterness, you might just love it.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its fresh, energetic citrus and floral profile, coupled with moderate performance, makes it ideal for casual daytime wear and even sports. The strength of its white florals could be too much for formal settings, and its bright nature isn't typically suited for romantic dates.

About

Nectar opens with a zesty, tart explosion of pomelo, bergamot, and tangerine, instantly waking up the senses. This bright citrus then melds into a lush, sweet heart of honeysuckle and neroli, underpinned by a clean, woody whisper of cedar. The dry down is a soft, musky embrace, with delicate orange blossom lingering alongside earthy vetiver, creating a humid, summery warmth.
