What does Nostos smell like?
Nostos wears with strong longevity and strong sillage. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. On character, masculine comes out ahead, with modern close behind.
It opens with mandarin orange, frankincense and saffron. The heart holds Turkish rose, Turkish rose absolute, jasmine absolute and oud. The base settles into sandalwood, musk and suede, leaving a leathery, smoky warmth. Montale Oud Edition and Parfums MDCI Cuir Garamante have a close profile.
