Nektar
by Laboratorio Olfattivo
Nektar is a layered, warm gourmand with aromatic and leathery nuances, offering a deeply balanced and elegant scent that leans into honey, vanilla, and patchouli without becoming overly sweet. The opening features bright citrus and spicy notes—bergamot, pink pepper, and clary sage—that create a fresh, herbal lift before settling into a dense tapestry of honey, leather, and resinous woods. As it dries, the fragrance reveals a creamy, soft vanilla and patchouli base with subtle amber and olibanum depth, producing a deeply comforting and inviting warmth. Its character is well-suited for cooler seasons and evening wear, with moderate to strong sillage that feels present but not overwhelming.
Pros
- +Excellent balance of sweet, aromatic, and leathery notes, creating a well-integrated gourmand without cloying sweetness.
- +Strongly unisex and versatile—ideal for both casual and dress-up settings, with a refined elegance.
- +A drydown that is cozy, warm, and quietly sophisticated, making it ideal for intimate or cold-weather wear.
Cons
- −Some find the longevity modest, with a dry-down that diminishes noticeably within hours.
- −The projection is moderate—some may find the scent too subtle for bold presence.
- −May lack the powerful, memorable 'oomph' needed for standout wear, especially for those seeking a long-lasting or dramatic impression.
