Grammatik Drammatik NFI is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Chris Maurice. NFI opens with Lemon, Mandarin, Lavender, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Cedar, Jasmine, and Myrrh, and dries down to a base of Lichen, Musk, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Grammatik Drammatik's NFI carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper head-turner, and not for the faint of heart. NFI is a divisive cardamom bomb that’ll either reel you in with its weird, addictive magnetism or send you running. Definitely not a blind buy.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

NFI kicks off with a punchy blast of cardamom, sharp lemon, and a whisper of lavender, setting a bold, almost medicinal tone. It smoothly transitions into a woody, earthy heart where cypriol and cedar mingle with a hint of jasmine's sweetness. The dry down is deep and grounding, a musky, mossy blend of vetiver and patchouli that lingers, mysterious and powdery.
