Nero

Nero opens with a sharp, green snap of watercress and bright bergamot that feels herbaceous and almost peppery. The heart softens into warm basil and citrus, where licorice adds a subtle sweetness and slight anise undertone that keeps things from turning candy-like. As it settles, musk and benzoin create a creamy, amber-tinged base that's dusted with vanilla—enough warmth to ground the greenness above without erasing it. The fragrance stays caught between fresh herb garden and soft skin, never committing fully to either.
