Nancy Meiland Parfums Kabosu is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Nancy Meiland. Kabosu opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Tea, settles into a heart of Osmanthus and Plum, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Birch, and Tonka Bean. Nancy Meiland Parfums's Kabosu carries a Favourite verdict, a leather-led wear.

A properly grown-up citrus, Kabosu takes the expected fresh opening and grounds it with a smoky, leathery depth. It's sophisticated, interesting, and far from your average-joe freshie.

About

Kabosu opens with a sharp, zesty burst of bergamot and lemon, immediately brightened by an aromatic waft of tea. This initial freshness quickly deepens as the heart emerges, where the delicate, apricot-like scent of osmanthus blends with the subtle sweetness of plum. The real character arrives in the base, with a prominent smoky leather accord intertwined with the earthy whispers of birch and patchouli, softened by a touch of warm tonka bean. It's a journey from vibrant citrus to a rich, grounded finish.
