Nouveau Cologne

Nouveau Cologne brings juicy fruit together with more transparent flowers. Created by Alexandra Kalle and introduced in 2011, the eau de cologne adds the softer character of lychee and flowers to a lighter cologne style. The brand presents evodia as a fruity floral aroma obtained from the fruit of a Chinese plant, giving the composition a particular connection between its fruit and floral elements.

Yuzu lends a sharper citrus edge, accompanied by the juicy sweetness of lychee and the fruit character of blackcurrant. Geranium, evodia, heliotrope and peony meet at the heart, softening the transition from the opening fruit to the flowers. Sandalwood, tonka bean and musk form a smoother base, carrying the brighter opening towards a quieter sweetness and a more rounded finish.

Try it during a walk between tasks or on a day spent in a light shirt. The 100mL bottle combines transparent glass shoulders and a thicker clear base with a white and turquoise label. A grooved silver-toned cap and the red band around the neck add sharper accents to its cooler colours.
