7.6

Nasengold · 2014

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Nasengold G. is a fresh, citrus-led unisex scent that leans towards spring and summer; it has been discontinued. It opens with grapefruit, lime, pink pepper and ginger, with sulfur alongside them in the top. In the heart, jasmine sambac, rose and orange blossom add a soft floral layer. The base of patchouli, cedarwood, vetiver, cocoa and leathery notes settles it onto a woody, leathery ground. Green and fruity tones run through the accords as well. Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Most voters recommend summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and business are the most chosen occasions. Votes on character split closely between masculine and feminine, so it sits genuinely in between. Atkinsons Mint & Tonic and Hermès Concentré de Pamplemousse Rose have a close profile.
