psy-cou
by Nomenclature
psy-cou is a delicate, warm-spiced fragrance with a soft woody-balsamic base and a subtle gourmand undertone. It opens with a quiet, sweet accented by cardamom, coffee, and aromatic wood, creating a gentle, inviting scent that feels both personal and refined. The palo santo, coumarin, and warm cardamom give it a creamy, slightly smoky depth, reminiscent of a well-worn leather jacket or a quiet moment by a fire. The drydown reveals a clean, slightly powdery sweetness, with notes of amber and vanilla balancing the balsamic warmth. This is a quietly expressive perfume—less bold, more present. Its quiet elegance resonates particularly in cooler months, especially autumn and winter, and suits both day and night wear with ease.
