Nectar Olfactif Etoile de Bali is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Serge de Oliveira. Etoile de Bali opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Freesia, settles into a heart of Hibiscus, Green Notes, Jasmine, and Lily, and dries down to a base of Musk and Sandalwood. Nectar Olfactif's Etoile de Bali carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This floral honey bomb is a divisive one. Some find its Indolic facets off-putting, veering into "pissy" or "coffee" territory, while others adore its sweet, heady bloom. A love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent that demands a test drive before committing.

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:
Spring

Its white floral, floral and honey composition leans towards spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent floral-honey sweetness makes it a bit much for the office, risking being cloying. However, this same intensity lends itself well to date nights or formal events, where its luxurious and romantic vibe can shine. Casual wear is possible if you're mindful of application.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • 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

Etoile de Bali opens with a fleeting citrus spark from bergamot and mandarin, quickly giving way to a rich, blooming heart of white florals. Freesia, jasmine, lily, gardenia, and hibiscus entwine with a lavish, slightly verdant honey. The drydown settles into a soft, musky sandalwood base, though some detect a pronounced indolic, almost earthy character.
