Scent Profile

Composition

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.

About

Nero Nepal opens with a bright flash of lemon and a surprisingly aromatic kick from cumin and rosemary, quickly moving into its rich heart. Here, the intriguing blend of poppy and a subtle, herbal cannabis accord meets the deep, resinous gurjun balsam and oud, creating a smoky, spicy warmth. The dry-down is all about the woods, with cedar, sandalwood, and guaiac wood providing a smooth, comforting base, rounded out by earthy patchouli and a touch of ambergris for depth.
