This is Not Dopamine

This is Not Dopamine by Hormone Paris is a Oriental fragrance for women and men. This is Not Dopamine was launched in 2020. The nose behind this fragrance is Shadi Samra. Top notes are Saffron and Nutmeg; middle notes are Oud and Lavender; base notes are Musk, Patchouli and Ambroxan. Saffron and nutmeg open with an immediate spiced warmth — there is richness here from the first second, a density that reads as anticipation rather than weight. Lavender and oud at the heart create an unusual pairing: the lavender lifting, the oud grounding, the two pulling against each other in a way that feels like forward motion. Musk, patchouli, and ambroxan anchor the base in a sustained, smooth depth. Dopamine fires before the reward arrives. This composition does the same. Unisex.
