By the editors · 2 min readNero opens with a bright, almost jammy burst of pineapple and black currant over bergamot, the apple adding a crisp edge that keeps the fruit from turning syrupy. There is an immediate sweetness here, but the citrus keeps it tethered.
As the top notes settle, jasmine and rose emerge alongside patchouli, giving the fruit a darker, earthier foundation. The patchouli is not heavy — it works as a quiet anchor beneath the floral centre rather than dominating it.
In the base, amber and vanilla warm the whole composition, lending a soft, resinous finish. Musk rounds the drydown into something smooth and approachable. The result is a fruity-floral with a grounded, slightly brooding underside.
