Nox

Description

Nox is a daring, deep, and intriguing fragrance that captures the mystery of a shadowy forest at twilight. From the first breath, it draws you into its vivid, green world of untamed nature and rustic charm, gradually evolving into a surprisingly warm, spicy, and powdery dry-down. This fragrance is for those who crave depth, complexity, and a sense of mystery in their signature scent.

The fragrance opens with a bold, sharp, and slightly edgy turpentine-like green accord, reminiscent of fresh-cut wood or the sap from a pine tree. The dominant note of dark, woody cypress gives it a distinct forest-like freshness — earthy, resinous, and wild. This opening is raw, clean, and invigorating, like stepping into a dense, ancient woodland. The natural, almost medicinal quality of the cypress creates a crisp, cool, and energizing entrance.

As the scent moves into its heart, the green freshness of the cypress becomes richer and more complex. Dark woods take the lead, with the subtle entrance of cedarwood adding a dry, slightly sharp texture to the blend. The woods are no longer fresh and bright — they become dark, rich, and mysterious. Black peppery resins emerge, bringing an earthy, spicy bite that gives the heart of Nox a sense of rugged masculinity and power. Cumin introduces a subtle animalic warmth, adding a raw, untamed element to the heart. Hidden in the background is a faint, delicate salty accord, evoking the image of sea spray misting over a rocky, wooded coastline. The interplay of pepper, resin, and spice creates an adventurous, dynamic phase that captivates the senses.

In the dry-down, the fragrance undergoes a striking transformation. The sharp, spicy, and resinous elements give way to a softer, sweeter side. Vanilla takes center stage, but it isn’t the typical gourmand vanilla. Instead, it is powdery, dry, and understated, as if aged and weathered by time. A subtle, warm woody undertone lingers, adding depth and grounding the sweetness. This contrast between dry woods and powdery vanilla gives Nox a rich, velvety finish that feels sophisticated and enduring. This phase is soft yet powerful, like the calm after a storm, leaving behind a sense of warmth and tranquility.
