Astrum Nova
Astrum Nova opens with the lifted, airy quality that only aldehydes can provide: bergamot and neroli in an aldehyde cloud that smells like the inside of a freshly pressed silk shirt. Iris and rose build the heart with ylang-ylang adding a creamy, almost tropical warmth that the aldehydes keep from settling into heaviness. Amber, benzoin, and sandalwood close with a warmth that develops beautifully over the first hours of wear. A composition that knows precisely which tradition it belongs to and inhabits it without irony.
Why We Carry This
Electimuss makes unabashedly classical compositions, and Astrum Nova is among their most accomplished. The aldehyde opening is handled with real knowledge of how those materials behave, and the iris-rose heart benefits from the lifted, soapy brightness the aldehydes create. For clients who want classic without vintage.
