Nimitz
by Yves de Sistelle
Nimitz is a fresh, aromatic fragrance with a balanced profile that leans into citrus, spice, and woody-amber dry down. It opens with a bright, fruity burst of bergamot, mandarin, and pineapple, creating an immediately engaging and approachable impression. The middle notes bring in lavender, geranium, and nutmeg, adding herbal depth and a soft floral touch without becoming overwhelming. As it settles, the fragrance evolves into a warm, sweet-amber base enriched with patchouli, sandalwood, and vetiver, giving it a mature, slightly opulent character. It feels neither too masculine nor too feminine—its unisex appeal stems from its restrained but elegant complexity. Performance is moderate, lasting well into the day with ample sillage, but many note it fades within three to four hours depending on skin. It shares a resemblance to classic aromatic scents like Jacques Bogart Pour Homme and Rasasi Daarej, though more refined and less intense than both.
