Notes
They open one after another, from the first spray into the evening.
What does Nesso smell like?
The opening is bright and lightly sweet, with champagne and ginger softened by the fruity freshness of Italian orange. In the heart, jasmine, tuberose and magnolia take over and the scent turns fuller and more floral. The base sets a dry, woody floor of cedarwood, while honey and patchouli add a sweet, earthy warmth. Nesso has a close profile to Masque II-I Luci ed Ombre and The Dua Brand White Florals and Incense.

In the brand's words
Ginger and Italian orange fizz up like the first pour, champagne sparkling over the top. Then the flowers arrive: magnolia, jasmine and tuberose, lush and a little heady. Honey thickens it all into something sweet and sticky, while cedarwood and patchouli keep it warm and grounded.
Sparkling, floral, sweet without turning to sugar. Champagne over ginger at the start, jasmine and tuberose in the heart, honey and cedar underneath. Unisex, no age. If you want a bouquet that misbehaves, this is the one.
Written for a toast at dusk, worn all year. Summer evenings carry the champagne; winter brings the honey forward.
