The High

7.4

NEH · 2024

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

NEH The High is a fresh, green unisex scent that suits leisure time and daytime wear. It opens with bergamot, cannabis, litsea cubeba and eucalyptus, a citrusy, airy greenness. Orris root and vervain bring a floral, lightly powdery softness to the heart, while white musk, woods and leather give the base a sweet, woody, leathery footing. Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick it for leisure, daily wear and the office; evenings and nights out are chosen far less. Gucci Première and Narciso Rodriguez Essence Eau de Musc have a close profile.

The Light

7.4

NEH · 2024

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

NEH The Light is a unisex scent built on a sweet, spicy core, with fruity and floral touches. It opens with tangerine, cinnamon, pink pepper and rhubarb, a fruity brightness sharpened by spice. In the heart, plum and rose add a soft, lightly sweet floral note. The base of cashmere wood, vanilla, tonka bean, patchouli and woods settles it onto a woody, sweet footing. Its sillage is rated moderate, though only a few votes stand behind that, so it is an early impression. The sweet, spicy build makes it a warm, soft scent that suits men and women alike.

The Opening

6.4

NEH · 2024

Fresh · Green · Spicy

NEH The Opening is a unisex fragrance with a fresh, green and woody character, where spice and powdery florals soften an earthy backbone. Its longevity and sillage are moderate, though the small number of ratings makes these a first impression rather than a firm verdict. It leans neither masculine nor feminine. It opens with pink pepper, cardamom and elemi resin, spicy and fresh. Lavender, iris and violet add a powdery softness in the heart. The base rests on vetiver, sage, papyrus, cedarwood, gaiac wood and sandalwood, woody and earthy. Chanel Sycomore and Robert Piguet Bois Bleu share a close profile.

The Flavor

8.0

NEH · 2024

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

NEH The Flavor is a unisex fragrance with a fruity, sweet character and a creamy, gourmand touch. It opens with red berries, banana, coconut and blackcurrant together, so the scent is fruit-led and sugary from the start. In the heart, jasmine carries the floral side while mango keeps the fruity mood going. In the dry-down, musk and woods form a soft, woody base that balances the sweetness with a creamy finish. Emil Élise Eating Wherever and DIME Lovely Sweet Dreams have a close profile.

The Element

7.0

NEH · 2024

Sweet · Gourmand · Spicy

NEH The Element is a unisex scent with a sweet, gourmand character, spiced and resinous, with a warm oriental feel. The top pairs mandora with lychee for a fruity lift. In the heart, elemi resin, rose and tonka bean come forward: the resin adds a spicy edge, while rose and tonka soften it. The base turns richly sweet with caramel, vanilla and benzoin, and oakmoss, patchouli and ambroxan give that sweetness a dry, woody footing. Created by Camille Chemardin in 2024, it suits those who enjoy sweet, oriental fragrances.
