Forest Lungs

The Nue Co. · 2020

Fresh · Green · Spicy

The Nue Co. Forest Lungs is a fresh, green unisex scent that smells of forest air and sits most comfortably in autumn, winter and spring, for leisure days and the office. Longevity and sillage are both moderate: it stays present without filling the room. Most voters pick autumn and winter, while summer is the least chosen season. It reads slightly more masculine to those who voted, though it wears easily as a unisex fragrance. Black pepper and bergamot open it fresh and spicy. In the heart, mastic absolute, pimento and cardamom add a resinous, spicy warmth. The base of cedarwood, patchouli and pine settles into a woody, earthy, lightly smoky green.

The Nue Co. · 2018

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

The Nue Co. Functional Fragrance is a fresh, green and spicy unisex scent built around green cardamom, bergamot and coriander. It opens with cardamom and coriander adding spice to the brightness of bergamot. In the heart, jasmine, orris root and myrrh bring a floral, resinous softness. Palo Santo, Ambrox and musk finish it on a clean, woody and synthetic base, with an aquatic freshness lingering in the background. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close rather than filling a room. Its clean, fresh character suits easy everyday wear on anyone. Mizensir L'Envers du Paradis and Acqua di Portofino Sail have a close profile.
