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.

Given its long-lasting performance and strong sillage, Nel is a bit much for a quiet office setting, potentially overwhelming colleagues. However, its vibrant and sophisticated profile makes it excellent for dates and formal events where you want to make an impression.

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

Nel opens with a vibrant, juicy burst of rhubarb and litchi, brightened by apple and the green touch of marigold. As it settles, a rich floral heart emerges with prominent rose and jasmine sambac, softened by magnolia. The dry down offers a warm, earthy base of amber, cedar, and moss, with a hint of vanilla adding a smooth sweetness.
