Laboratorio Olfattivo Nirmal is a unisex scent that turns carrot, violet and orris root into a green, powdery floral, opening fresh and settling into a sweet, woody warmth.

What does Nirmal smell like?

Carrot brings a cool, green freshness at the top, while violet and orris root in the heart push the scent towards a powdery, floral line. In the base, amber, suede and cedarwood join the sweetness to a leathery, woody warmth, with a spicy touch running behind.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters recommend spring and fall, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the settings it is placed in most often. It reads slightly more feminine than masculine, though plenty of voters call it masculine. Jo Malone Orris & Sandalwood and Gucci Flora by Gucci Generous Violet have a close profile.
