Series Two 5 Richard Nicoll: Nicoll 17
Fragrance notes
Character
Angelica and caraway give this blend a crisp, herbal bite that feels clean rather than medicinal. Sweet orange brightens the mix without turning it into a standard citrus splash. The overall impression is airy and upright, like a room with the windows open and a breeze moving through linen curtains.
Magnolia and iris add a soft floral layer that sits gently on the skin. The texture is powdery in a way that recalls fresh laundry rather than vintage face powder. Green and musky accords keep the mood light, so the scent never feels heavy or overworked.
This is a daytime companion for warm weather, suited to a morning walk or a bright afternoon on a terrace. It fits someone who enjoys aromatic plants and clean air more than deep resins or heavy woods. The mood is optimistic and uncluttered, matching a clear sky and a simple outfit.
Composed by Rodrigo Flores-Roux, the scent feels more like a sketch than a finished statement. The notes shift quickly and some of the promised depth never fully arrives. It lacks a strong anchor, so the experience can feel a bit thin for those who want a richer, more substantial composition.
