Nova
Fragrance notes
Character
Nova opens with a bright, juicy melon note that blends with the energetic spark of pink pepper and bergamot. Cardamom adds a warm, aromatic lift to the fruit, while the distinct scent of Starburst candy gives the top a playful, sugary character. This initial impression is cheerful and unapologetically sweet, setting a tone that feels vibrant against a clear morning sky. As the fragrance develops, the heart reveals a lush white floral bouquet dominated by tuberose and jasmine sambac. The addition of rum and monoi oil introduces a tropical, slightly boozy richness that bridges the gap between the candy-like opening and the deeper materials waiting below.
The base of Nova is a dense, resinous mix of oud and vanilla, supported by the creamy depth of sandalwood and the dry structure of Virginia cedar. Ambrox Super adds a modern, mineral warmth that ties the composition together. The transition from the sugary, fruity top to this heavy, woody foundation is pronounced, moving from lighthearted energy to a serious, opulent presence. It suits a wearer who enjoys a fragrance that shifts from playful to intense within a single sitting. The scent feels appropriate for a sunlit garden party where the atmosphere is lively and the air is warm, like a bowl of fresh fruit sitting in direct sunlight.
