Laboratorio Olfattivo Nektar is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Pierre-Constantin Guéros. Nektar opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, Pink Pepper, and Elemi, settles into a heart of Davana, Tiramisu, Leather, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Laboratorio Olfattivo's Nektar carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

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.

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:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

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.

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

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Nektar opens with an unexpected fresh aromatic burst of clary sage and zingy citrus, quickly making way for a rich, complex heart. Imagine honeyed leather, spiced with cinnamon and a hint of boozy tiramisu, enveloped in the dry, resinous warmth of frankincense. The base mellows into a smooth, creamy blend of vanilla, tonka bean, and earthy patchouli, underpinned by soft cedar. It's a journey from herbaceous zest to dark, sweet indulgence.
