Nectary
by Jorum Studio
Nectary is a dramatic, richly textured rose fragrance with strong animalic and gourmand elements that unfold with a powerful first impression. It opens with a bold burst of oud, civet, castoreum, and peach, creating a wet, leather-like, slightly fecal intensity that morphs into a layered, chewy, balsamic rose. The core of the scent is a deep, velvety rose intertwined with tart peach, cranberry, and ambergris, which adds a salty, resinous sweetness. The animalic notes give it a dirty, earthy, musky depth that is not mild, but seamlessly balanced with the fruit and floral elements. Over time, it settles into a drydown that is sweet, gourmand, and slightly fluffy, with a creamy musk and balsamic warmth. The scent is long-lasting and projects moderate to strong sillage, making it best suited for evening wear. Designed to be worn with intention, it is assertive and not meant to be subtle.
