Our verdict on Nouveau Genre: Favourite

This one's a proper dark horse, giving off niche vibes for a fraction of the price. If you’re into sophisticated, earthy patchouli with a rich, dark chocolate twist, you'll absolutely adore it. But be warned, it's not for everyone - some find it a bit too much.

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 impressive longevity mean it's best reserved for evenings and cooler weather, making it less suitable for high-sillage situations like the office or active wear. The deeply sensual and sophisticated blend of patchouli and warm spices lends itself well to dates and formal events, though its earthiness can also suit a refined casual setting.

About

Nouveau Genre opens with a robust, earthy patchouli, deep and almost raw, quickly softened by the creamy, vanilla-like warmth of tonka bean. This creates a rich, complex scent that evokes dark chocolate and warm, woody amber. It settles into a balsamic, subtly sweet drydown, retaining its initial depth and a touch of mysterious earthiness, with some finding it develops a 'smokey drydown'.
